I would say Maisy.

mynameisnotmichaelcaine · 26/05/2013 07:23

Both Maisy and Maisie are correct,but imo Maisy looks better and a bit more grown up.

Eskino · 26/05/2013 07:25

Thought it was Maisie.

I think Maisy - Maisie looks more like a nn imo.

lovesmileandlaugh · 26/05/2013 07:32

I thought Maisie, Maisy was made more common by Maisy Mouse.

My DD is called Maisie, but just about everything someone else writes her name on, spells it Maisey. It really bugs me. Just wondered if I had somehow spelt it wrong? (I know I hadn't as the name was pinched from an elderly aunt before I'd realised how popular it was!)

Maisie, I think

AcrylicPlexiglass · 26/05/2013 07:42

It's like Katy, Catie and Katie. All fine.

lovesmileandlaugh · 26/05/2013 07:56

I agree with Katy and Katie. Catie would never be my default spelling if I wasn't sure!

It was the Lucy/ Lucie thread that made me ponder it!!

either Maisie or Maisy

Bowlersarm · 26/05/2013 12:46

Maisie

Startail · 26/05/2013 12:51

Maisie is a person, Maisy is a mouse.

DonkeysDontRideBicycles · 26/05/2013 12:52

Maisie, I thought.

sjuperyoni · 26/05/2013 12:52

Maisie - i've never seen maisey it looks like it's been 'cute ified' (real word) as the baby names people love saying ''it looks nicknamey'' Wink

My neice was nearly a maisie but ended up a lucy :)

Alisvolatpropiis · 26/05/2013 13:54

I've never seen Maisey before.

Either Maisie or Maisy are the spellings I've seen. I think I'd assume Maisy if I was just told the name and had to write it down though.

jellybeans · 26/05/2013 13:57

Maisie is nicer.

Lebkuchenlover · 26/05/2013 21:34

Maisy looks the nicest and most 'normal'.

Maisey/Maisie are too cutesy/babyish imo!

nooka · 26/05/2013 21:40

Maisie is I think most correct, although Maisy mouse makes me think that's OK too. Maisey is just wrong!

But then I have a Lily (Lilian) who gets Lilly, Lilie and Lillie at times, all of which look very wrong to me, but presumably not to the writer!

EarlGreyTeabag · 26/05/2013 21:41

Maisie

YoureAllABunchOfBastards · 26/05/2013 21:44

Maisie

BikeRunSki · 26/05/2013 21:44

The only RL person I have ever met with this name was a girl at school, who spelt her name "Maisie". My mum's dog is Maisie too.

Lebkuchenlover · 26/05/2013 21:45

Yes, Maisy Mouse! That's why I think Maisy.

GW297 · 26/05/2013 22:33

Maisie

Wishfulmakeupping · 26/05/2013 22:38

It's Maisie in 'the boyfriend' that's how I've always known it :)

LynetteScavo · 26/05/2013 22:39

Maisie or Maysie or Maisy, but not Maisey.

My spell check tells me only Maisie is spelled correctly.
