These are just two names DH and I love
I know they're both rather popular but I think they're really pretty! what do you prefer? Maisie or Ella

I really like Maisie. Ella is ok but I know far more of them (primary age)

Blubells · 21/10/2021 07:29

I really don't like either as Ella is overused/dull and Maisie is very cutesy. Thanks f I had to choose, I'd go for Ella.

They're both a bit vapid, and I know three dogs named Maisie.

How about these, with Ella as nn?

Maisie

I'm so sorry but I don't like either. Ella is nothingy and Maisie is cutesy. If you forced me to choose I'd pick Ella, but only because I don't like cutesy names.

Ella

Ella. I can't picture an adult Maisie (yes, I know there's an actress), it seems more suited to a child.

Maisie

They are both beautiful names

Both awful but Maisie is worse.
