Maisie... Will it age well?

[Bellyrub1980]

Just discovered that this gorgeous name is an old traditional Scottish name and a variation of Margaret. Both Margaret and Scottishness have special meaning to me.

The only thing making me hesitate is that whilst Maisie is perfect for a baby or little girl, would it suit an professional woman?

Until now I've been looking for names that 'age' well (Like Jessie/Jess/Jessica, Josey/Jo/Josephine etc). Will Maisie age well?

Since you ask, no. Most undignified. But May or Margaret would be fine.

It is a bit twee.

Prefer Margot, meg, Greta or Gretchen if you're looking for Margaret related names.

But that's just me. There are billions of little girls with twee names which are gonna grow with them.

The only Maisies I know are in their 80s.

Dd1 has a 'twee' girly name according to mn. However there are a lot of old west Indian women with that name.

I used to think that about the name Amy. I couldn't imagine an old lady with that name till I met one.

Yes I know 2 Maisie's in their 80's

It's a washer woman's name. I imagine a Maisie to have a life of drudgery.

Use Margaret and have Maisie as a nickname. Loads of other fab shortenings to choose from too.

Margaret is a beautiful name.
