Thoughts on the name Maisy?

[tomatosheet]

I prefer this spelling btw.

Thoughts?

I knew a horrid one at school which puts me off it but if you like it then go for it! It has a nice ring to it X

One of my neighbours is a little girl called Maisy. She really suits it.

But, I can't help but think it's one of those names that wouldn't work so well for grown up women with serious jobs.

It's cute and reminds me of Maisy Mouse. Not sure it's ideal for an adult professional person, which she will be one day, but that's just an opinion. Many people weren't too keen on my kids' names but it made no difference to me. Go for what you love!

I know someone who has a child called Maisie I love it.

Yes a agree shoes v cute for a baby but less mature, also forgot to add it could be associated with double barrelled names like Maisy-jane

It's too cutesy for me-feels like a pet name.

What others are on your list?

INeedNewShoes snap

We also have Ivy, Darcy, Daisy

Seeing you're other DCs names draws me to it. That would go really well with them! X

Somehow all three of those names work better for grown ups than Maisy, but I can't put finger on exactly what the issue is!

I really like Ivy!

Daisy & Maisy are a bit similar, don't you think?

If you shout to the end of the garden for one of them, the other one will think it's them you're after!

Or do you mean those three names are also on your list rather than the names of your other children!?

I love Maisy.

But not with Daisy.

By the time this generation of kids become adults, there'll be loads of Maisy type names, it won't seem at all 'not adult/serious'.

I was replying to the person who asked what else was on our list! We have a son named Harry.

It reminds me of Beatrix Potter's character Mrs Tiggywinkle, the hedgehog washerwoman.

Love Ivy!

I adore Ivy.

Maisy is too cutesy for my liking.

I prefer the traditional spelling Maisie somehow it looks more balanced.

I like Maisy, I prefer that spelling. But I prefer Daisy and Darcy out of your list

Don't like Maisy or Daisy, wet sounding and boring. I love Ivy or Darcy, more so Ivy.

Prefer Mary

Maisy sounds too cutesy.

Fine for a cutsey-poo sugar mouse

I don't really like it. It's the kind of name that some poor old drudge who worked in a kitchen would have.
