Definetly Maisie. The only version that looks 'right' to me.

I prefer Maisy, like Daisy, but Maisie is more usual, I think.

I teach a Mazie, ugh. Maisie is the proper spelling.

Personally, I would go with Maisy, as in Lennon and Maisy.

Maisie or Maysie or Maisy, but not Maisey.

My spell check tells me only Maisie is spelled correctly.

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

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

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.

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!

Maisy looks the nicest and most 'normal'.

Maisey/Maisie are too cutesy/babyish imo!

Maisie is nicer.

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.

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!!

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!)

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