I feel like Delilah might win? Grin Maisy has won in real life. Brother is Jonah :)

I like Maisie.

But I do like the song 'hey there Delilah'...

Not keen on the Maisie spelling! I don't like the double i :)

Maisie is common.
Delilah has unfortunate connotations.

I love Delilah.

Don't like either but if I had to choose
It would be Maisie

It wouldn't be Maisie :)

What's the difference phonetically between Maisie and Maisy?

Is Maisy pronounced Macey?

Jonah is such a lovely name OP.
How about Magdalene/ Magda/ Magdalena.

Nothing is different, I just don't like the double i :) MissAlabama - not really in love with those names, but thank you!

If you want it pronounced May-See as apose to May-Zee then you're best off spelling it Macy, Maycie Maicee, as Maisy will be taken for May-Zee

No, I want it said as May-zee :)

Definitely Delilah!

Ok
If it's a toss up between the two I think that Delilah chimes better with your sons name, which as I said is gorgeous.

I can't warm to any variant of Maisy I'm afraid.
Believe me I've tried as a variant is my DNs name Blush

Maisy will be pronounced May-Zee

That's how I want it said?

Maisie / Maisy is extremely popular (I work in a primary school) but if you're ok with that, go for it.

Delilah. Not keen on Maisie or Maisy.

Delilah is a more beautiful name, Maisy is cute and nickname-y.

I love Delilah. I went to school with one and she was stunning, so I always think of it as a pretty name. Grin. I wouldn't give a damn about the song... who sings that now anyway?
