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? Smile

The conventional spelling is Maisie.

Maisie is the more common spelling but they are equally correct.

Personally I prefer y endings to Maisy (like Daisy), Milly and Marny.

I find the ie twee.

I have a 13 yo Maisie (pronounced May-zee). If you want to pronounce it May-see, then it would be spelt Macy and a different name!

If it's for a person and not a maize-based snack, the former.

Maisie or Maisy

Maisie.

Definitely Maisie

Maisie

Maisy or Maisie are my favourites. It's pronounced the same way with both an 's' and a 'z' though.

I also think it's fine to use the 'z' spelling if you prefer - just be aware that it's an unusual spelling, and people who think that there are right and wrong spellings (there aren't!) will get upset, as this thread shows.

What about May-Z? She could be a cool rapper.

Just joking :) I’m with others, Maisie.

The southern African diet is "maizy."

The name is Maisie. I'm not a massive fan, but it's OK if spelt this way.

Definitely no Z.

As for the ending, my DD is called Josy rather than the more common Josie. I do have to correct the spelling a LOT but I don't really mind, I adore her name.

Masie

Maisie is very cute

Aquilla · 23/06/2019 14:42

Maisey will be pronnounced Maizey anyway, don't worry about that. And you and your child will escape a LOT of judgement! (Trust me, I know one)

CaptainCabinets · 25/06/2019 15:18

Maisy or Maisie.

Maizy is just bonkers.

17caterpillars1mouse · 25/06/2019 16:17

Maisie is best or failing that Maisy. Definitely don't add a Z. It cheapens the name imo.

Oh and I don't know a single Maisy
