Me and my partner like the Christan for a boy but do you think it sound really old fashioned? it reminds me off the lad in the movie 'stardust' i watch another movie its was a really old one, dont remembert what it was called though, and that name was init, its put me off abit what do you lot think?

Maisey for a girl, my partner really likes it but i am not to keen on it. Do you think it could grow on me? It reminds me from Maisey out of 'emmerdale' and she done my head in lol.

I have a niece named Maisy and know 2 other little girls as well as a couple of "Macy"'s so it's quite common I think, if that doesn't bother you though then I think it's a sweet name. I think I prefer Macey or Macy though.

Christian is a lovely name, not too old fashioned at all. Kristian is an alternative spelling - know a couple of boys named this, but unsure of using the K.

Ah, you mean Christian? I was about to post that "Chritan" is far too like Crettin!

Christian is quite unusual, I was at school (many moons ago) with one
mamawho the spelling Krystian is used in Poland
I like Maisey, sweet name

icapturethecastle · 02/03/2011 23:14

You don't hear many Christian's about but I like it(i think it is actually Tristan in Stardust - love that movie). There does seem to be a lot of Maisys' about (is the ' right?) at the moment. A very cute name but I always think a little girls name.

whatever you call your child, just make sure you spell it correctly. No excuse for Maisey and Chretin.

Christan is a girls name, or at least Kristan is.

i look at Maisey like a little girls name.

I like the name Ethan. Maisie is cute but can't see it as an adults name iykwim. Think it is very popular as I know 3 Maisies under 4

Bathsheba · 03/03/2011 09:35

I LOVE Christian as a name - it was top of my boys list for DC3 but DH said no...and she was a girl anyway...but still..!!!!!!!!

HopeCalvary · 03/03/2011 18:48

PepsiPopcorn · 03/03/2011 20:01

Richlinn · 03/03/2011 20:08

Partner dont want Ethan because his mates baby has that name :(. Its a shame i really like it haha.

We have agreed Maisey is more for children. but he dont like Megan. He wants Raine but i am not to fussed on that one :(. He also like stella but that reminds me of the lager and that weird one from Eastender's (phill's ex) lol

If your partner likes Stella, how about Estelle or Aurora? And how about Elliot instead of Ethan?

Christan is awful and the poor thing would spend his like saying 'no, not Christian, Christan,' Ethan is lovely.
