That's fine, but why do you think so? :)

I like it, but I like Maisie more.

I don't normally like names like that but I think it's quite cute.

Very... Mmmm.... American. Makes me want to say it with an accent...

Sounds like a dog's name to me. Maisie is nicer.

Not a big fan, sounds like an American department store, somehow looks a little odd, like it needs another letter in it.

Maisie is lovely.

Macy is a great name - makes me think of Macy Gray Xmas Smile

Maisie looks a bit twee to me.

Not keen, it's a bit harsh sounding. I prefer Maisie/Maisy/Mazey

Agree with pinkcardi. I don't like the way it looks wriiten down. It's weirdly truncated, like a letter is missing. Also it sounds cutesy and like a nickname. I don't like it, sorry.

I prefer it to Maisie.

Mach isn't as cutesy and twee, imo.

I'm not a fan as it is more of a shop name to me (even though I'm in the uk). Maisie isn't a name I'm much of a fan of either.

As long as you and baby's dad love it though OP that matters more than a bunch of strangers on the tinterweb.

I'm not even pregnant, I was just wondering! I like Maisy, but not Maisie - I know I'm a bit strange! I just thought Macy was less popular.

I know that feeling. I also started a thread about the name Gemma without knowing whether we'd actually decide to try for DC2...

But seeing as we did decide to try for DC2 (yesterday)... Who knows, maybe we will actually have a little Gemma.

I really like Macy. Maisy is cute (but I do prefer Macy. just because Maisy reminds me a bit too much of Maisie, which I really don't like).

I quite like Marcia. But not Macy.

I think Macy'd wear a big headband and have her ears pierced before starting nursery.

Maisie is awful. Sounds like a dopey name. Macy is ok.

What a nice way to introduce the British obsession with class to the discussion.

Marcia makes me think of a very distant great-aunt. She's very peculiar but also rather badass. Loves liquor, her dogs and hunting.... 😂

are you saying that kids in earrings is declasse Horatio?

I was merely pointing out she might be an early adopter of earrings and headbands and made no judgement on that :)

Just like a little girl like names... Keylea may have a dummy and wear a headband?

(I'm actually an expat, but getting to know my MIL taught me more about this kind of rot than I ever wanted to know...)

:D
