I named my daughter Faye and she hated it for the first 12 years of her life (wanted to be called Vicki - ugh!). Now she is SO glad I named her Faye because it is was one of a kind in her entire school, just like her! It also rhymes with part of her last name - just beautiful!

I have rarely met anyone with the'same name, definitely less than 10 in my whole life (almost 50 years). I frequently get called Anne, Kaye, Gail, Sue, Kate and Clare. Have often'thought about changing it for this reason, but rather like the fact that it means fairy.

Hiya people! My name is Faye too! :-D ! I love my name! It'sounds really unique and special! I only know 3 people with the name Faye, but I don't really mind - It's a nice name! I really like it! Only problem is whenever I try to picture a different last name, it never'seems to sound right or catchy. Saying that, it probably doesn't sound all that bad, It's just I'm used to my last name. I never knew Faye also meant shadow - thanks! That's pretty cool! I love how it has so many different meanings! I think everyones name'suits they're owner and the meanings too - or at least I hope so! Anyhow, It's a cool name. Eventhough 'Fat Faye' Isn't all that cool of a nickname, 'Funny Faye' is. The goodoverlooks the bad! I think more people should be called Faye! It'd be an honor to think that I helped someone out there make a decision on calling their beautiful baby 'Faye.' I'd be sp proud! And Faye is better than Fay.' Faye's more catchy! :-D ! Hope this was helpful! XxxX

My name is Faye. My parents had 5 kids before me. All in ABCDE order. So Faye for a girl. I know quite a few Faye's. Even had a male cousin named Fay. He was much older. I personally have never liked my name. I often hear someone shout, Hey, and I tend to look. Makes me feel stupid. My nicknames have been, Faye Faye, Faye baby, and Fan. My middle name is Ann so Fan is a lazy mix of both first and middle.

My first name is Faye! I love my name. I don't like it when people decide that it is a nickname or short for Faith it drives me crazy. I have been called Fayemay, Fayekay and, Fayeray over the years. Faye is a Family name for me but I have meet 1 other person with it for a first name and 1 with it as a middle name. I am 39 years old and I have alway loved my name. I would never trade it for another. I think Faye is the best name. And oddly enough it rhymes with the month I was born too it just makes it all the more fun.

My name is Faye. I was born in 1985 and named after my grandmother. I hated my name when I was a kid (I guess I wanted to be Michelle or Jennifer, just like everyone else!) but I really like it now because I'm the only Faye at my job and in my neighborhood. I used to take issue when people left the "e" off, but I really don't care that much anymore. Probably the toughest part about the name Faye is that it is difficult to hear on the phone, so I find myself spelling it automatically! "F as in Frank, ay, why, ee".

My name is Faye Marie and I love it because my mom gave it to me 63 yrs. ago on Aug. 25th. There's a story to my name. According to mom, when she was pregnant with me my half sister was dating a guy named Keith. Mom liked his name'so she'said if I was a boy she would name me that. When I arrived Keith asked her to name me Kaye after his sister. Mom didn't care for that name'so I ended up as Faye. People usually ask me if It'spelled with an e on the end. It is indeed a unique name!!

And they all seem to be vibrant personalities. And all friendly for the most part.

Sure people still call me Faith at times but I politely correct them by spelling it for them. F A Y E. My older'sister has combined my first and middle name. Yes she calls me Fester❤️But I know she loves me❤️. ❤️ Being the youngest of 9 I guess my parents were starting to run out of options❤️. But it is unique and makes us beyond the ordinary.❤️

My name is Faye & I am 62 years old. I was named after an aunt & grandmother. The name is not one you here anymore & It's a true original. I didn't like it for many years, but being older it gives me sense of being a bit unique & spiritually evolved. It comes from an old English name meaning fairy, also is galic & french, meaning fairy. What a nice name, Huh❤️ How many of your friends can say they are called Fairy❤️ I'm glad It's not a popular, orver used name.

V A U G H N... Like the word "laugh" but without the "n" so for some reason You'remove the "n" and all of a sudden "gh" makes the "f" sound in laugh❤️ Very inter'sting language we all speak. My last name is Vaughn. Pronunciation has always been an issue to those who have never'seen'the name. The Germans got it right when'they spelled it "von," but I will take the unnecessary vowels and consonants that have been used to spell and pronounce my last name for years before me, and years to come. - V A U G H N -

I'm 22, Faye is my middle name and I love it! It's a name that has been passed down in my family for generations. It's my mom and grandmother's middle names. I never use my middle name, but I like it even better than my first name. I kind of wish I used it as the name people call me, but I guess It's too late for that now, haha.

My name is Faye Elizabeth, and I also love it! I am 26 and was named after my grandma, Mary Faye. I enjoy having a name that is unique and soft sounding. I would definitely recommend it to any new parents out there wondering if their child will like this name. It's awesome!
