Daisy or Maisy?

We love both!

We're not massive fans of Maisie, but absolutely love Maisy Grin but know it will probably be spelt as Maisie, so might be better to go with Daisy?

Thanks!

I find both too childish and cutesy, sorry.

But if I had to choose, I'd choose Daisy.

WanderingTrolley1 · 07/10/2016 14:25

At a push, I'd go for Maisy.

PurplePaws16 · 07/10/2016 14:28

I know, but they're the only ones we love!

Thank you

Daisy.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 07/10/2016 14:32

I love Daisy.

Joinourclub · 07/10/2016 14:33

Maisie is better for girl and woman. Daisy is just a cute name for a little girl or a cow.

GoldPlatedBacon · 07/10/2016 14:49

Daisy, but I'm with you in that Maisy is the better spelling

PotatoBread · 07/10/2016 14:49

Maisy

Pipilangstrumpf · 07/10/2016 14:51

Isn't Maisie the Mouse?

Sleeplessinmybedroom · 07/10/2016 14:54

I wanted to call Dd Daisy but it didn't work with the surname.

iwouldgoouttonight · 07/10/2016 15:00

Maisy is the mouse. Maisie is the more traditional spelling. I like them both, I know of a few Daisy's but only one Maisie so it depends if you want a popular name.

milkshakeandmonstermunch · 07/10/2016 15:03

I like them both. Maisie was on my list but DH thought it was too cutesy Sad

FlameGrower · 07/10/2016 15:11

Daisy. It sounds marginally less cutsie than Maisy.

septembersunshine · 07/10/2016 19:09

Daisy. Just because I think it's a nicer name then Maisie. Plus I know a beautiful Daisy. Imo these names are no more cutesy then a lot of really popular girls names..molly/Rosie/poppy etc..i would use it if you love it.

Honeybee79 · 07/10/2016 19:20

Daisy.

fruitmedley · 07/10/2016 19:25

Love Daisy - DS1 would have been Daisy

Lambbone · 07/10/2016 19:35

Of the two, Daisy.

But if you like flower names, why not use something a little less cutie-pie.

Like Iris, or Violet.
Or Artemisia (bit out there, but way cool!)

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 07/10/2016 19:44

Absoloutely Maisie/Maisy.

kavvLar · 07/10/2016 19:47

Daisy. You could always go for Margaret / Marguerite and use Daisy as the nickname

katemess12 · 07/10/2016 21:35

Daisy is infinitely nicer.

Maisie is a mouse.

DramaAlpaca · 07/10/2016 22:16

Of the two, Daisy. But they are both too cutesy IMO.

SliceOfLime · 07/10/2016 22:27

I have both of these in my immediate family, one is my daughter and one my sister! I will say, I thought 'too cutesy' when my sister was born (I was 17), but over the years I've got used to it. She's not a girlie cutesy type but is a very cool and independent teen and it still suits her.

villainousbroodmare · 08/10/2016 16:15

Really sweet nns for a chubsy baby, but inescapably infantile imo. Daisy, being a flower, is marginally less graceless. Maisie just reminds me of a threadbare chintz sofa or Mrs Tiggywinkle or something.

My ex said the same when I wanted to call our DD Georgia-Lily double barrelled. His words were "imagine her being a solicitor called into court , he said no one could take her seriously with a name like Georgia-Lily" but fast forward 20 years and Lily-May, Ella-Rose' , Maisie, Daisy, Mollie-Mae's all these cutesy names will just be "normal" names for Solicitors, GPs etc.
