Maci - Opinions Please

[Mamainthemaking]

Maci is the only name my husband likes and we’re pretty set on it. His family love the name, but my family are not keen.

Would love to know general thoughts!

Thank you in advance.

Like going for a Maci-D's?

in hungarian it is the short version of Bear.
so to me it is not a nice name.If she never goes to that part of the world to live, then why not? :)

It's a bit downmarket.

Awful. Sorry.

I am trying to think of a nicer word than trashy, but I can't.

It really is the most dreadful spelling of a not terribly nice name. There must be something else he likes, surely? Maisie, Milly, Molly?

Otherwise Macey would be better than Maci.

I can't think of anything positive to say. The name is rather down market and the spelling actually heightens that. Maisie is significantly better.

The spelling is rough as houses. Maisie is nice.

It's a nice enough name but the spelling is bad. Names ending in 'i' just look very 'I had teenage parents' or tacky to me.

Macy or Macie would be fine

I read it as Mackie?

Maci is the only name my husband likes

LTB.

I really love Macy but wouldn’t use the i spelling.

Maci like a Maccy D?

@Zarene

Macy is bad, but Maci is ducking awful, sorry.

Afraid so

I read it the way Teen says Maci D’s for McDonald’s!

Macy is better.

Teen mom on mtv

I like the name, I dont like the spelling.

Okay thank you for feedback.

Thank you @Elephantscantfly very good to know 🙂

Oh and for everyone asking it’s a French name popular in America. It’s a girls name pronounced like the American shop ‘Macy’s’.

I think that the spelling is a problem. It looks like Maccy (slang for McDonalds) rather than Macy

Yeah, I think most of us got that, it's half the problem. I wouldnt call a kid Bloomingdales, Selfridges or Harrods either.

It makes me think of Maci from Teen Mom and tbf she's done well for herself.

It's not a name I'd use but I don't hate it.

I think it's quite dated. It feels quite Britney-era American.

I read it as Macki
Looks ugly. Would choose a different spelling

I know I’ve commented earlier and it’s very hard not to have an opinion sometimes, especially when you work in a school. My daughters name is also very popular where we live and has a few different spelling options, we went for the most common. It suits her perfectly and I wouldn’t have chosen anything else. Imagine your child as an adult - will you still love the name, will they be embarrassed? Your child, your choice, ultimately nobody else’s opinion matters!
