A friend at a prior job brought up a cow named Mae, but I referred to the cow as "May" in an email (having only heard her name said, not seen in written) and she thought that was the so, so funny. We were working together on a slaughterhouse deal, so it was relevant.
I never met the cow, as it was long dead (and eaten, probably) by that time, so I didn't have the feeling I'd never really known her.
