What do you think of the name Faye?

Question

I actually quite like it and it is under used.

Not sure how it sits as a first name with me but I love it as a middle name.

What first name do you think would work with it?

Also what do you think of the name Faith?

My husband prefers that but I think it sounds more like a pets name or something.

Which do you prefer out of Faye and Faith?

Answer 1

I love it.



It is much much much much better than Faith. I agree with you it reminds me of a dog.



Faye is so underused and under rated.



Suggestions:



Mia Faye

Bella Faye

Summer Faye

Scarlett Faye



Heck it will almost go with any name.

Answer 2

I like the name Faye better because it is unique, underused, and just totally awesome to spell. :D



Using it as a first name is fine. It's all because it's not a "normal" name that some people think it to be an ugly or unusual name.



Faith is the kind of name that comes with those "invisible" responsibilities. It's like naming your kid "Hope" and sometimes kids think they have to "live up to their name". And honestly, it's an overused name that I think cliche. It's not a bad name, but it's just too common.



You can try these other first names to Faye like so:



Tamia Faye

Kylie Faye

Danielle/a Faye

Patrica Faye

Haley Faye

Cynthia Faye

Carla Faye

Heather Faye

Loraina Faye

Answer 3

I disagree. i think it's overused. Course this over use is mostly regional ( i live in the south). Rae, Faye, Mae and Kay are over used here.



Faye to me sounds too hick. i dislike it.



I like Faith as a middle name, not a first. Faith is not a pet name to me, Lucy, Angel, Kenzie, Ginger, Peggy, etc. would be pet names to me.



I prefer Faith to Faye, but honestly wouldn't use either. short middles i like:



Elise

Joy

Hope

Rose

Violet

Shaye

Claire

Saige

Fiona

Fleur

and

Paige





edit:

Tammy Faye Bakker-Messner, was a religious NUT televangelist that wore enough make-up for a thousand people, she died in 2007 from Cancer. People say though that she was a very sweet and loving woman.

I think youre right about Faye being a nice middle name. If you are using it as a middle name, how about Abigail Faye? you could call her Abby. :-)



I like Faith as a first name, but not as much for a middle name.

I think both Faye and Faith are great middle names, but not first names.

Answer 9

I love Faye. It seems light and carefree and very feminine. I much prefer it to Faith.



It works with almost any first name.

Answer 10

Reminds me of Tammy Faye Baker which isnt a good thing but i suppose no one will have remembered her by the time she grows up.

A good name otherwise and I dont hear it often .

Answer 11

I love Faye!!!



It works better as a middle name though because it's only one syllable.

I think that Middle names should be only one syllable and first names should be at least two or three.



What about Cecily Faye? I think it's a great name!



I think that Faith is gross, no offense. I hate names like that...... Faith.... Hope.... Joy



It is wierd that they have meanings. I don't like them.

Answer 12

I like Faye a lot. Faith is pretty too but very popular now.



I think Fae/Faye/Fay is good as a first name.

Answer 13

I think you should use Faye

its a very interesting and beutiful name

i also think the first name

should be

Sadie Faye

Sadie means princess in hebrew

and Faye means fairy in english

and i think they sound nice together and put together her name would be like fairy princess....it is just a suggestion

Answer 14

i agree with you, Faye is a good MIDDLE name but i would not choose it as a first name.



if i had to pick between faye and faith, FAITH would be my choice
