Sorry but I think they all look awful.

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 30/03/2021 10:36

Macy is the only spelling I'd use to get the right sound.

Maisie/Maisy are "may zee"

The rest on your list look made up to mewhats wrong with Macy?

spookycookies · 30/03/2021 10:37

Awful. Just use macy. If you must.

WiganNorthWest · 30/03/2021 10:37

Macey?

Easterbunnygettingready · 30/03/2021 10:38

Macey
Macie

MazekeenSmith · 30/03/2021 10:40

Maisie or Macy if you want the C sound
Literally none of the others

What's wrong with spelling it properly?

bridgetreilly · 30/03/2021 11:16

Macy or Macey.

Seen on TV last night a 'Tarnia'. I do think someone ought to tell people when they reach 18 that it's completely fine to change their name by deed poll to its correct spelling, rather than stick with the ridiculous version their parents chose.

cherrytreecottage · 30/03/2021 11:17

Macie

PandaFluff · 30/03/2021 11:19

Macy
Macey
Macie

I don't like any of the others

Roszie · 30/03/2021 11:23

I know a Macie.

The other ones are May zee

My thoughts exactly.

What next, Maycee?

dementedpixie · 30/03/2021 11:26

Macey

It's an awful name whichever way you spell it.

WeeGobshiteBentBastard · 30/03/2021 11:37

M'eh - seeh
Meysee
Meigh - sea.
MmeeeySseee
Maigh - Zzzzzz

Just keep adding vowels and the possibilities are endless. You know it make sense.

idontlikealdi · 30/03/2021 11:38

Your suggestions look like a kids has been playing with alphabet letters

Spied · 30/03/2021 11:39

Macy only.
Others look dreadful.

Rukaya · 30/03/2021 11:40

Maisie or Maisy (usually pronounced May-zee but heard pronounced as may-cee as well)

Heard from people who don't know how sounds work!

Macy, simple as that. Don't piss about with stupid spellings.

Lockdownbear · 30/03/2021 11:43

What's up with the original spelling?

Why make life harder than it needs to be? She'll constantly be having to spell it or have people pronouncing it wrong.

Macy as in the New York shop.

Or

Maisie as in the kids cartoon character.

ZeroFuchsGiven · 30/03/2021 11:43

Overtime I come back to this thread it just makes me think of Maccies Grin

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 30/03/2021 13:04

I like them all. Maysi is gorgeous.

WonkyCactus · 30/03/2021 13:07

Maisie and Macy are totally different names. Confused

ZiggyBaby · 30/03/2021 13:22

They all look awful. Spell it properly!

ItStartedWithAKiss241 · 30/03/2021 13:24

I would definitely use Macy but I wouldn’t think anything of it is it was spelled Macie?

IllNeverLetGoJack · 30/03/2021 13:27

I would use Macy. I really like it! Reminds me of Macy Gray.
