I feel like Delilah might win? Grin Maisy has won in real life. Brother is Jonah :)

Delilah.
Maisy is twee imo.

Maisy is an awful name.

Delilah is a lovely name, the only thing that would give me pause would be the Tom Jones song. And that song isn't going anywhere.

Delilah!!

Fabulous

Theres loads of Maisies about. Its a cute enough name, but Delilah is great

I love the sound of both of them but I don't like the Delilah Bible story. Just the same as Salome Grin

Maisy is nice and a lot nicer than Maisie, I agree with you on that spelling. However if it were me I would prefer a longer name that I could shorten to Maisy. I grew up with a name that was similarly cutesy and could not stand it as I grew up and I would have preferred something longer to lean on.

However the normal one would be Margaret, which is obviously dated. Margot? The only other thing I can find is Maisarra, Arabic for one who lives an effortless life. Although nice, that doesn't seem to match your style.

But who would be singing the Tom Jones song to her? Not the children in the playground, I doubt any of them would know it! I wouldn't let some old song that perhaps one idiotic person might hum stop me from using a name I liked!

I love Maisie/Maisy

Delilah.

Can't stand Maisy/Maisie, it's just too twee & cutesy.

'But who would be singing the Tom Jones song to her? Not the children in the playground, I doubt any of them would know it!'

Probably not the children in the playground no. But is she going to be in a playground all her life? I'm not saying don't use it because of the song but it's something to keep in mind. I have a friend called Eileen, and people sing Come On Eileen at her a lot. Usually when drunk.
