Hello everyone, would like to hear which spelling variation for the name Macy you prefer:
Maisie or Maisy (usually pronounced May-zee but heard pronounced as may-cee as well)
Maicy
Mayci
Maysi
Thanks

Gmacy (the g is silent)

This is insane do you put your own spelling twists on other words too .
It's immature and nonsensical .

Snog · 31/03/2021 10:54

If you choose an original spelling go into this with your eyes open.

Some people will think it's original and cool, others will think it uneducated and common. Unfortunately there will be lots more in the second category than in the first category.

Maisie is always pronounced May-zee

If you want Macy spell it like that

(Ignore the lunatic PP who says Maysi is gorgeous - it’s not, it’s like a 5 year old trying to spell.)

VenusClapTrap · 30/03/2021 19:29

None of them.

DeRigueurMortis · 30/03/2021 17:26

Why?

What's the point?

You're just condemning your child to life of explaining how to spell her name.

I've got an unusual name (not a unique spelling but just rare) and it's a PITA quite frankly and at least I don't have to deal with any raised eyebrows or silent sniggering as people (appropriately or not) make judgements on what the hell my parents were thinking.

Your child's name should be a gift not a burden nor an opportunity to express your "creativity" at their expense.

TeaSoakedDisasterMagnet · 30/03/2021 17:13

Macy, Macey or Macie. The others are silly.

AlohaMolly · 30/03/2021 17:10

I taught a Macey once. I wouldn’t bat an eyelid at Macy, Macey, Macie or even Maci but would have to check it wasn’t pronounced Mack-ee.

Lockdownbear · 30/03/2021 17:06

Op if you think unique spellings are the way to go read the Ryan with a W thread.

sadpapercourtesan · 30/03/2021 15:04

There's an American dancer who spells it Maesi

I think it's dreadful, personally

MerryChristmasToYou · 30/03/2021 14:58

Maeceigh

WhiskyIrnBru · 30/03/2021 14:11

Maisie is pronounced Mays-ee.

Macy is pronounced like the department store Mace-ee

Sorry OP I think those spellings are all horrendous.

wombatspoopcubes · 30/03/2021 13:32

My name has a different spelling than the most used one. Please don't do this, you're just doing it to feel unique about yourself and your child is the one who gets her name spelled wrong her entire life. Choose a name for your child, not for yourself.

IllNeverLetGoJack · 30/03/2021 13:27

I would use Macy. I really like it! Reminds me of Macy Gray.

ItStartedWithAKiss241 · 30/03/2021 13:24

I would definitely use Macy but I wouldn’t think anything of it is it was spelled Macie?

ZiggyBaby · 30/03/2021 13:22

They all look awful. Spell it properly!

WonkyCactus · 30/03/2021 13:07

Maisie and Macy are totally different names.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 30/03/2021 13:04

I like them all. Maysi is gorgeous.

ZeroFuchsGiven · 30/03/2021 11:43

Overtime I come back to this thread it just makes me think of Maccies

Lockdownbear · 30/03/2021 11:43

What's up with the original spelling?

Why make life harder than it needs to be? She'll constantly be having to spell it or have people pronouncing it wrong.

Macy as in the New York shop.

Maisie as in the kids cartoon character.

Rukaya · 30/03/2021 11:40

Maisie or Maisy (usually pronounced May-zee but heard pronounced as may-cee as well)

Heard from people who don't know how sounds work!

Macy, simple as that. Don't piss about with stupid spellings.

Spied · 30/03/2021 11:39

Macy only.
Others look dreadful.

idontlikealdi · 30/03/2021 11:38

Your suggestions look like a kids has been playing with alphabet letters

WeeGobshiteBentBastard · 30/03/2021 11:37

M'eh - seeh
Meysee
Meigh - sea.
MmeeeySseee
Maigh - Zzzzzz

Just keep adding vowels and the possibilities are endless. You know it make sense.
