Recipe of the week

penguinmum's creamy fish pie: smoky, seasonal fish in a creamy white sauce with grated, rather than mashed, tatties on top - a meal of the highest comfort-food order.

well, if we all liked the same names where would we be?!

I love having a Maisie as to me it's a bit different without being OTT.
Noooo

I dislike it immensely. Too cutesy and drippy and twee.

We have a 4 yo Maisie. We did think about how it would sound when she's grown up, but as someone else on here pointed out, there'll be a whole generation of women with these sorts of names and besides, two of the other Maisies I know are both old ladies!

We're hoping to find out what our next DC is tomorrow (boy or girl I mean!) at 20 week scan so are now thinking of names to go with Maisie.

We are thinking of Maisie as a middle name if our bump turns out to be a girl.

The grandmothers are called Margaret and Daisy so it seems like a good way to make reference to both in one name!

It is quite girly, but I agree it's mainly that there is a generation of little girls with that name at the moment.

My mum is 65 and has no problems with being called Daisy. No one thinks it's a silly name for a woman so I think Maisie is the same.

Very 'cutesy' and 'mousey' in my opinion, so would be a cute nickname for a little girl, but I really can't see an adult named Maisie.

I don't like it - seems very wet and a bit lifeless - no spirit to it!!

Saying that, I know an 8 yo Maisie and the child is awful - she looks all sweet and innocent but she's so naughty!! She's really rude to adults and children, snatches, steals, hits etc etc and cries whenever she doesn't get her own way!(just fuel to my 'its a bit wet and drippy' fire really)
I don't think I'll ever be able to like the name Maisie because of this, but then I didn't like it much before either

sorry!!
How about Taisie? I know a little girl called Anastasia that gets called this.
It's short for Margaret and Marjorie.

DD has a friend called Maisie, she is 13 and we still cal her Maisie mouse.
I think it is a bit too cute, suits a baby but I struggle to see it suiting an adult.

So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
