One my OH loves, one I love.
Which one do you prefer?
Surname begins with a 'M'... puts me off having a first name beginning with M too.

I might be over thinking it but why do fathers want such belittling and babyish names fir their daughters..it's not a name for an adult is it...
Dd's partner also suggested this name for their baby. ..it got vetoed v quickly. ..

Rosa by a mile.

Maisie is babyish and twee.

Rosa

Maisie reminds me of corn ( as in modified maise starch)

rosa is my favourite but I would not bat an eyelid at Maisie its a nice name

I prefer Rosa - it's classy and elegant and as PPs have said, Rosie is a potential nickname which might appeal to your DH.

Rosa is on my non-Welsh girls name list.

The only Maisie I know is a labrador so I see it as more of a pets name.

Rosa! Is Maisie even a name?

Whatsyourflava · 16/07/2020 10:21

Both lovely! Sorry not helpful

@sibbys

How can you not have heard of the name Maisie?!

That’s like saying “is Sophie/Caitlin/Rosie even a name?”

Confused

Rosa is lovely

sibbys · 17/07/2020 13:26

@NameChange84 I've really never heard of it!

@sibbys

Well considering it’s been around as a name since the 16th century that’s unusual!

You’ve never heard of Maisie Williams (Arya from Game of Thrones)? The TV show Maisie Raine? Any children’s literary or tv character with the name Maisie or Maisy (Maisy the Mouse etc)? It’s really not an unusual name at all.
