MamaLazarou · 29/06/2009 14:46

Maisie

Littlefish · 29/06/2009 14:45

Maisy (May-zee)

Blu · 29/06/2009 14:39

NOT Maci, Macee, anyway!

RetroMum1 · 29/06/2009 14:37

I like Maisy but don't mind Maisie.

Don't like Macy or Macey, it's a different name and reminds me of Macy Gray (didn't like her either!)

annasmami · 29/06/2009 14:33

I like Maisy (for -zee) and Macey (for -cee).

jellybeans · 29/06/2009 14:32

I like Maisie but also Maisy is OK.

Thunderduck · 29/06/2009 14:31

You've listed at least two different names. Maisie and Macy are not alternate spellings of the same name.

Of the two I think that Maisie is a nicer name.

magbags · 29/06/2009 14:28

I know a Maisie and a Macy and they are definetely different (although similar) sounding names.

I much prefer Maisie as it is a softer sound imo (May-zee). It is also the more traditional option, if that makes any differece to you. Good luck.

lljkk · 29/06/2009 14:26

I like Margaret w/ Maisie or Maisy as NN: as it was traditionally.

BunnyLebowski · 29/06/2009 14:23

Maisie or at a push Maisy.

The rest of your list aren't names.

suwoo · 29/06/2009 14:21

I prefer the pronunciation May-zee, spelt Maisie.

lou031205 · 29/06/2009 14:18

Well you need to get that sorted before worrying about spellings

Mammina · 29/06/2009 14:18

wouldn't go for Macy without the E because it just reminds me of the american department store, so for me either Maisy, Maisie, or Macey

I agree, I would pronounce Macy differently, too.

I would go with Maisy.
