Maisy, Madison or Macy?

Which name? Can I just say... I know they're not to everyone's taste - some may see them as 'chavvy' (something I just don't agree with (I think it's very snobby)) so I don't need people saying that Smile would just like to know which is your favourite! These spellings are set in stone Smile

I did say the spellings were set in stone Grin so it wouldn't be Maisie!

Maisie, because that's the correct spelling.

Grin the names board gets better and better.

"These spellings are set in stone"



OP I am biased but Madison. And thank you for spelling it like that rather than Maddison/Madysin/Maddacen.

I like Macy. Maisy is ok. But my spell check has just tried to change it to 'Amish' Hmm and it reminds me a bit too much of Maisie, which is very twee and wet imo.

Madison is ok but I honestly prefer Macy.

Thank you Grin

I just think Maisy looks more like a proper name! I do prefer 'original' spellings (hence Madison and Macy) but there are a few that are an exception!

I like all three of those names Smile

I love Madison best Smile but both the Madisons I know are normally called Madi/Maddy so if you don't like those nicknames then bare that in mind

I like Macy as well

I like how Maisy sounds but she would probably spend her life correcting people who spell it Maisie (my spell check recognises Maisie but not Maisy)

I love Maddie, so have no problem with people using that NN Smile

Yeah, I know what you mean about having her having to spell her name out (if we went with Maisy) but I feel like she would anyway. Lots of people spell it Maddison/Macey/Macie, etc. Smile it might be quite easy to say "Maisy, with a y" - I have to with my name!

Thank you though Smile

I like Macy the best. I really dislike Maisy as its just too sickly sweet and Maddie as a nickname is alright but used a lot whereas Macy is different yet known.

  1. Macy
  2. Madison
  3. Maisy


I chose Macy over Madison because there are a lot of Maddies/Madeleines/Madisons around at the moment, whereas Macy is very uncommon. I don't like Maisy or Maisie at all.

Funnily enough I met a dm of a Macy the same age as my eldest and complemented her on the lovely name. She said with hindsight it was a massive error because no one could spell or say it correctly and her poor dd was constantly being called Maisie. She said.she would choose a different name given her time again.

So purely for this reason I would go with Maisie, spelled Maisie so that most people get it right.

I'm not keen on madison personally!

Maisy doesn't look like a weird spelling to me. It looks like Milly/Millie iyswim.

Maisy is lovely.
I like the other two names but I think I like Maisy best.

I just googled it out of curiosity.
Maisy seems a pretty standard spelling.

Maisy (and I would spell it like that too, OP)
