We don't know what were having but are undecided on girls name. DH prefers Maizie but I prefer Lorna?
Middle name is Rose.
so, Lorna Rose or Maizie Rose?
:)

I much prefer Lorna.

Maisie looks horrible spelled with a "z", I have to say.

soontobeslendergirl · 14/10/2013 22:54

Lorna without a doubt :)

StayAwayFromTheEdge · 14/10/2013 22:57

Lorna gets my vote.

Maizie - with a 'z' is just wrong and Maisie said with a Northern accent is awful - I say this as a northerner!

I prefer Lorna, it's the name of one of my dearest friends.
Maisie is quite sweet (I've never seen it spelt with a 'z' either): it reminds me of the series of books by Aileen Paterson which I used to read to DS (long time ago!).

Lorna

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 14/10/2013 23:19

Lorna for sure. Maisie is that annoying mouse character.

FunnysInLaJardin · 14/10/2013 23:19

Lorna. Lovely name

TessTackle · 14/10/2013 23:21

Maisy* is that annoying mouse character and the American spelling.

Maisie is an Irish name, derived from Margaret, sounds lovely with Rose trust me Wink

Ruprekt · 14/10/2013 23:21

Not keen on either.

If it is to be Maisie....then spell like this as the z is awful.

I have a friend with a dd called Mayzie!! AngryAngry My eyes! Eek!

Lorna is ok except a horrid person I work with is called Lorna. Wink

TessTackle · 14/10/2013 23:21

That said, I prefer Lorna

Maizie looks like an accident in a sweet corn factory, but Maisy is nice.

PeppiNephrine · 14/10/2013 23:26

Why would you put a z in there?

Ikeameatballs · 14/10/2013 23:27

Lorna

sarahleanne · 14/10/2013 23:41

You can spell Maizie/Maisie/maisy all 3 ways. They are all legitimate ways of spelling the name. I didn't want it pronounced wrong as in Maisie mistaken for macey. but I definitely prefer Lorna which seems more popular at the moment. Thankyou for all your comments, even the sweetcorn one lol

OP at the risk of outing myself I'm a Maisie Rose and have never been called macey, iyswim. I like my name now being an adult but didn't like it much growing up Smile

sarahleanne · 14/10/2013 23:52

That's really useful to know Tess thankyou :)

Both are nice but I prefer Maisie (no Z).

LazyGaga · 15/10/2013 00:02

I know a Maisie and the pronunciation is always a May-zee sound. I would say Macey would be more of a May-see; the 's' sound would be much more apparent. I've never seen the spelling Maizie.

Lorna is quite a 70s name to me. I picture a dreamy, hippyish type woman with long hair and long skirt - possibly an Art teacher Grin.

itsnothingoriginal · 15/10/2013 10:21

Lorna Rose is lovely Smile

I am biased as my sister is called Lorna and I did Grin at LazyGaga's post because she is a teacher and a real dreamy, hippy type with long hair!!

Lucyadams184 · 15/10/2013 10:30

I prefer Maizie. We struggled with girl names but boy names we had loads. Have fun deciding.

SkodaLabia · 15/10/2013 11:13

Lorna feels quite 70s to me too.

Even though it may be a legitimate spelling, I think you'd be forever correcting people if you use the Z spelling of Maisie.

Maisie with an s

ClaudiaWinklepants · 15/10/2013 11:19

I prefer Maisie with an s. Dd1 is Maisie Laura which suits her perfectly!
