NYC = nice (I think).

I like Maisie - it's pretty and I know a fabulous Maisie too, which always helps.

I'm not keen on Maisy/Maisie, it is too cutesy and trendy for me.

But, as others have said, we (thankfully) all have different tastes and life would be boring if we all chose the same (mumsnet approved!) names.

Not sure either what Mia being in New York means...

mayanna123 · 17/08/2011 11:26

Yeah, what does NYC mean - to me it is New York City Confused.

TangerineQueen · 17/08/2011 10:19

There are lots of Maisie's of retirement age, I don't think it's no go for an adult. I like it Smile

gailpottertilsleyplatt · 17/08/2011 08:44

No to Maisie, Molly, Tilly, Poppy

What does nyc mean?

GwendolineMaryLacey · 17/08/2011 08:35

I wondered that, Tilly :o Took me ages to figure it out

GooseyLoosey · 17/08/2011 08:35

Agree it's great on a child, but you may want to give her a more adult alternative.

MercyMe · 17/08/2011 08:34

I know a Maisie and she is the most beautiful wee girl. It really suits her. If you love it, you should use it.

MoominsAreScary · 17/08/2011 05:13

I like it

TillyIpswitch · 17/08/2011 05:04

Maisie - not to my taste at all, but likewise, my DCs' names wouldn't be to your taste and it'd be boring if we were all the same. :)

Polite request popcornchicken - ditch the text speak and use English instead - you can use as many characters as you want in your posts; there's no limitation, and it makes them much easier to understand and follow. I spent some time trying to work out what Mia was doing in New York City. Wink

NotADudeExactly · 16/08/2011 22:52

Maisie (or Maisy?) Gibbons - suburban prostitute cum housewife from Desperate Housewives. And that was season 1 IIRC, i.e. years ago. Have since stopped watching this show. I still remember.

Not good. Sorry.

InstantAtom · 16/08/2011 22:48

I like it :) Makes a change from Tilly, Molly etc.

Marie?

mayanna123 · 16/08/2011 22:11

I'm not keen on Maisie either, but thankfully we all have different tastes - you probably wouldn't like my suggestions either. Stick with the name you love - life would be boring if we all chose the same names Smile.

yes but dont u think names grow with a child as i think margret is a bit out dated now :S x

LoonyRationalist · 16/08/2011 22:07

Very nice for a child, not so keen on it for an adult (which they generally become). Mary or Margaret can use Maisie as a nickname - could be a good solution

what names would u suggest then x

HattieBistro · 16/08/2011 21:46

It's not really my sort of name. For me it lacks something - can't put my finger on it. The only way I can describe it is that (to me) it feels very insubstantial for some reason.

Also, Maisie and all it's variants have shot massively up the charts between 2009 and 2010 so may be quite a faddy name.
