Maisie and ??

[icedaisy]

We have Maisie Ivy.

Due baby two later in year and recommencing name battle.

She was Jemima until I saw her and she was just not a Jemima, she is my Maisie moo. I adore her name, she absolutely owns it.

I like ie sounding names and we are in Scotland. Dh likes traditional Scottish names.

So far we have
Rosie
Holly
Poppy

Murdoch
Issac
Fergus

None of these I LOVE like I do Maisie. Although I didn't love Maisie till I saw her.

Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts or combinations which might work?

I also love Scarlett but dh does not and there is a local accent issue with it becoming scarluh

@GinWithRosie not at all, I have found this thread really helpful because I see what you mean.

I had thought ie went best but I have done a complete u turn. Dh will be delighted, not!

Friend of mine has a Maisie and a Toby; neither would be my choice but they go well together I think. If it was two girls I think I'd stay away from two -ie ending names.

OP...I was saying the names in my head as I was reading the lists...and imagining shouting them across a supermarket or park 😳 Glad I didn't upset you 💓

How about Rosa (with a hard 's' not a z sound) which is a Scottish pronunciation (I may or may not be personally invested here 😂)

rosa nice.

I just messaged dh with some ideas and he replied lagatha. This is what I'm up against. Damn you Vikings.

Delilah I really like from above.

@GinWithRosie are you my sil?? confused at personally invested.......

Oh...no OP...I meant with my name suggestion 😂😂

You can't have Maggie or Margot with Maisie - they're all different versions of the same name, Margaret.

I think earlier suggestions of Flora (of course!), Morag, Marsali and Ailsa might be good, but I also quite like Scottish retro names such as Alison and Catriona. To be really traditional (and if you like names ending in 'ie') there is always Janet, traditionally nicknamed 'Jessie'.

Fair enough. She could have Magda nn Maggie. I doubt anyone will consider Maisie/Maggie as synonyms even if derivative

I really love the sweet name Lily! Other “ee” names I like:

Genevieve (nn “Ginny”)
Annie
Lacey
Rosemary (nn “Rosie”)
Josephine (nn “Josie”)
Jane (nn “Janey”)
Bridget (nn “Bridie”)
Kelly
Noelle (nn “Ellie“)
Molly
Lindsey

Non “ee” names:
Nora
Isla
Wren
Audrey
Eliza
Clara

Whoops, Audrey should be with the “ee” names!

Jemima was my first thought, before I read your post!

Oh that's strange @123Dancewithme I never thought of it!maybe that's fate, this one might look like Jemima. Mim?

Lots of good thoughts thank you all.

I do still like Maisie and Maggie but appreciate all comments.

Lilias is a Scottish form of Lily. I like it.
Flora is great.
Freya? Not Scottish but Scandi.
Effie? Short for Euphemia but it is Scottish.
Jean is rather good, I think.

Issac isn’t spelled right. It’s Isaac.
Andrew
Fraser
Douglas
Gregory

Would you not use Gabriel this time round if it’s a boy.
More boy suggestions. I only have girl ones before.
Thomas.
Peter
Oliver.
Jack.
Henry
Charlie.

Maisie and Mimi (could be jemima as full name?).

I do love Gabriel. Maisie and Gabe is nice. I like Arthur too. And Stanley. Maisie and Stan. Cute!

So I have redone lists and will set aside.

The more I think about it the more I'm sure I cannot name a person without seeing them.

So I will take lists this time and get to snuggle them and then choose.

Loads of great ideas though thank you so much.

OP if that’s your autocorrect turning Isaac into Issac you have a glimpse of how frequently people will misspell it.

Betty and Kitty are my suggestions.
Boys name? Callum, Cameron, Ross, Blake

Thalia
Francesca
Thea
Tabitha
Cora
Liberty
Christabel
Constance (Connie/Stanzie)
Catriona
Alissa

Gabriel
Raphael
Finn
Alistair
Rex
Rory
Jacob
Keir

I actually think Maisie and Jemimia is lovely. Agree that another ie name can be a bit samey, but some still work..

How about Alice? Or Nancy? I love Molly too
