Hi,

Just wondering what people think of Maisie, but also- my cat's name is Millie... would Maisie be too similar?! (We tend to call the cat Mills...)

Thanks Smile

I love it, but prefer the Maisy spelling. ds was going to be Maisy if he'd been a girl. I've never met one but know 3 Macy's, which is v similar.

The op asked what people think of the name Maisie and it makes me think Maisy mouse as it is pronounced the same. The op was asking for opinions.

Cat, not car!

SoonToBeSix it's Maisy Mouse. Different spelling. And hardly universally well known, especially amongst non-parents. If someone asked about the name Harry, would you reply with one word: 'Potter'?

I don't think it matters in the slightest about the car being called Millie OP. It's a totally different name.

I wouldn't worry about the cat!

SoonToBeSix · 30/11/2013 15:58

Mouse

I'm not a huge fan but I think you can get away with it even if your cat is called Millie.

I on the otherhand have a dog called Milly and have realised I have vetoed Camilla nn Milly for myself. Flipping dogs and their recall ability!

I've liked Maisie for about 5 years...

I like Maisie, but then I should - I have one!

The only thing I will say is that it is now far more popular than it was when I had mine - I've not met another 8/9 yr old, but lots of 2/3 year olds.
