I love Maci but my husband loves Jayda and Piper. Thoughts?

I don’t like pippa it reminds me of a common person trying to sound posh and upper class @Chaoslatte

Like Pippa Middleton?

Ah, I don't watch Love Island, so I'm none the wiser!

@Sophielaser11 I know two Pippas and neither of them is upper class! One of them is a tattoo artist.

I've never liked Pippa, too rabbity.

Of your three, I'd go Macey. Definitely not Maci.

Do you like Liberty, OP? I think it's a similar vibe to Macey and Piper.

Maci - too much like Maccy D
Jayda - don't like it, sorry. Probably because it reminds me too much of Jada Smith who I dislike (along with her thug husband)
Piper - I sort of like it, but not sure. It's OK.

TheWayoftheLeaf · 20/06/2022 15:18

Piper.

Not a fan of Jayda or Maci tbh.

But, it doesn't go from pretentious straight to chavvy.. There are also the majority which come somewhere in between..

Show quote history

It doesn’t change the truth of what I said.

Chaoslatte · 20/06/2022 15:14

@TwilightSkies Elizabeth is a classless name imo. I can easily imagine someone from any walk of life called Elizabeth (probably why Eliza Doolittle got her name).

Maraa · 20/06/2022 15:09

I love Piper, was on my list but dh ruled it out.
Not personally keen on the others but it’s always your choice. However I do know a teen Maci and it suits her perfectly

TwilightSkies · 20/06/2022 14:58

Not a good idea to ask on here OP as it’s full of snobby upper-class wannabes. Only names like Elizabeth and Clementine are acceptable. God forbid anyone might think you are working-class 🙄

NippyWoowoo · 20/06/2022 14:56

Your list would be more liked here if they were pretentious names like Ottilie or Theodora.

RickyZooom · 20/06/2022 14:56

I like the spelling of Jade (like Jada Pinkett).
Piper is nice but getting v popular.
Like pp, not keen on the spelling of “Maci”. Just stick to the original spelling!

PerfectlyQuiet · 20/06/2022 14:55

I read Maci as Makky. As in Makky D's 🍔🍟😂

SharpLily · 20/06/2022 13:44

I think you'll get a better response on Netmums...

I'm sorry OP, I don't want to be bitchy but you've asked for opinions so I feel it's fair enough to tell you that I think they're all awful.

What an original response 🙄

SuziSecondLaw · 20/06/2022 14:50

Jayda sounds really trashy.

Maci would be OK if spelt correctly.

Piper is OK, feels like an American name, not sure why. Not that it matters either way.

WhatsInAMolatovMocktail · 20/06/2022 14:40

I think they are all fine, but I’d also prefer a more conventional spelling of Maci if it was my name. I like Jayda and Piper, I don’t know any kids of that name round my local school area.

FayCarew · 20/06/2022 14:39

Piper is the least bad of them, but makes me think of someone playing the bagpipes

Maci - is it Macy or Macky or something else?

Jayda - really ugly spelling, sorry.

Hallyup89 · 20/06/2022 14:38

I actually like Jayda and I know of one who's about 8 or 9 now. Maci needs to be spelled Macie or Macey, but I wouldn't use it, personally. Piper is fairly awful though.

Viviennemary · 20/06/2022 14:37

They are all awful IMHO. But its all a matter of personal taste.

ChickpeaPie · 20/06/2022 14:36

Ooh ive never had a post deleted before!
I’m surprised someone can say they’re a bit teen-mom and I’m not allowed to say chavvy!

Lochroy · 20/06/2022 14:35

I could not, for the life of me, work out how to pronounce Maci until I saw the other posts. The best I could come up with was Mackie which sounds too like mucky.

If you want to call her Macy, FFS, call her Macy.

MrsDoofus · 20/06/2022 14:34

Piper
Jada or Jadi
Macy

Are fine. And I count myself as middle class these days. I agree with what others have said re alternative spellings, they chavvify even the nicest of names.
