Maisy or Maizy?

[allofthechocolateraisins]

Hello!

Whats your Vote for Maisy or Maizy?

Also, would you spell with a 'y' or 'ie'?

DH likes Maisy, I like Maizie. Are either very popular?

How about Maezi?

@BuffaloCauliflower I'm Maisie as was my granny. I'm also Scottish. I may now have forgotten how to say my own name I've said it out loud so often and just said to dh how do you say Maisie, but I think locally here most people say may zay

i think Maisie, otherwise people won't have a clue how to spell it

Maisie or Maisy

Maisie

Maizy - maize - corn. Risk of being nicknamed "Corny" as she gets older?

My Nan was Maisie (born 1926) so I always think that’s the proper spelling. Definitely no Z.

I know a Maizy. The kids at school called her 'corn on the cob'

@2cupsofcoffee Christ that's one hell of a reach I'd put money on that actually never happening

Op - I'd go with Maisie

Maisie just doesn’t look right at all to me. I’m really surprised it’s the ‘normal’ spelling.

I say it may-zay (the zay is a short sound) because I’m Scottish but I know English people say it more like may-zeeeeee

Maisie

Definitely Maisy, although Maisie is good too. If you go Maizy or Maizie she will spend her whole life correcting people!

Masie definitely pronounced with a z sound

Maisy.

My DC had a Maizi in their old school and that certainly did raise my eyebrows... Horrible.

I know a Maizie and her mother is always complaining of people spelling it wrong. She actually had to go into school to complain because the teacher kept spelling it wrong and it was confusing her daughter. I would stick with the Maisie spelling myself.

S not Z.

Maisy or Macy

Maisie, pronounced may-zee

Maisy looks nicer than Maisie.

As does Daisy rather tanned Daisie

Maisy.

Maizie/Maisie looks more feminine than Maizy/Maisy imo.

Maizy looks especially spiky. But that's not necessarily a bad thing...

The z does look a bit as if you really like corn / maize but if it's about honouring your grandmother... Why not?

Maisie. Anything else makes you appear uneducated.

Maisy looks more educated than Maisie imo

I think Maisie looks better personally. It has nothing to do with education as some other posters have mentioned.
