Just saw someone say that they have a Macy and it made me remember how much I love this name! Macie is the most common spelling (according to the database) but isn't Macy the original? Which spelling would you go for?

Macy for sure. Macie looks made up to me. I'm surprised thats the more popular spelling!

@hazeydays14 I think we may share the same name :). Life time of saying spelt with an 'ie' and never met another in real life but I really don't like how the name looks with a 'y' so I'm happy with the 'ie'!

However, in this case I would probably go with Macy with a 'y'- it looks a bit wrong as Macie and could be confused with Maisie
