I feel like Delilah might win? Grin Maisy has won in real life. Brother is Jonah :)

'But who would be singing the Tom Jones song to her? Not the children in the playground, I doubt any of them would know it!'

Probably not the children in the playground no. But is she going to be in a playground all her life? I'm not saying don't use it because of the song but it's something to keep in mind. I have a friend called Eileen, and people sing Come On Eileen at her a lot. Usually when drunk.

Delilah.

Can't stand Maisy/Maisie, it's just too twee & cutesy.

Lottiedaydreambeliever2014 · 01/02/2016 19:37

I love Maisie/Maisy

But who would be singing the Tom Jones song to her? Not the children in the playground, I doubt any of them would know it! I wouldn't let some old song that perhaps one idiotic person might hum stop me from using a name I liked!

MamaMotherMummy · 01/02/2016 14:16

I love the sound of both of them but I don't like the Delilah Bible story. Just the same as Salome Grin

Maisy is nice and a lot nicer than Maisie, I agree with you on that spelling. However if it were me I would prefer a longer name that I could shorten to Maisy. I grew up with a name that was similarly cutesy and could not stand it as I grew up and I would have preferred something longer to lean on.

However the normal one would be Margaret, which is obviously dated. Margot? The only other thing I can find is Maisarra, Arabic for one who lives an effortless life. Although nice, that doesn't seem to match your style.

Delilah!!

Fabulous

Theres loads of Maisies about. Its a cute enough name, but Delilah is great

MitzyLeFrouf · 01/02/2016 12:50

Maisy is an awful name.

Delilah is a lovely name, the only thing that would give me pause would be the Tom Jones song. And that song isn't going anywhere.

IoraRua · 01/02/2016 12:46

Delilah.
Maisy is twee imo.

chrome100 · 01/02/2016 12:36

I am not so keen on either but at a push Delilah.

Quercus3 · 01/02/2016 12:20

Delilah is delightful!

crispytruffle · 01/02/2016 11:03

I love Delilah. I went to school with one and she was stunning, so I always think of it as a pretty name. Grin. I wouldn't give a damn about the song... who sings that now anyway?

PooDogMillionaire · 31/01/2016 11:59

Delilah is a more beautiful name, Maisy is cute and nickname-y.

Sofiria · 31/01/2016 10:54

Delilah. Not keen on Maisie or Maisy.

PufflesMC · 30/01/2016 20:34

Maisy, but I think Delilah goes better :)

Alisvolatpropiis · 30/01/2016 02:36

Delilah.

Deeply dislike Maisie.

SuburbanRhonda · 30/01/2016 00:09

Maisie / Maisy is extremely popular (I work in a primary school) but if you're ok with that, go for it.

Purplerain067 · 29/01/2016 23:58

Maisy, I have one Smile

tinofbiscuits · 29/01/2016 23:42

Maisy

Sophronia · 29/01/2016 23:28

That's how I want it said?

Maisy will be pronounced May-Zee

MissAlabamaWhitman · 29/01/2016 23:23

Ok
If it's a toss up between the two I think that Delilah chimes better with your sons name, which as I said is gorgeous.

I can't warm to any variant of Maisy I'm afraid.
Believe me I've tried as a variant is my DNs name Blush

justjodie92 · 29/01/2016 23:23

Definitely Delilah!
