These are just two names DH and I love
I know they're both rather popular but I think they're really pretty! what do you prefer? Maisie or Ella

Ella. (Although predictive text would like me to add 's Pouches!)

Ella

Both awful but Maisie is worse.

Autumnleavesfalling · 20/10/2021 23:27

They are both beautiful names

Maisie

Ella. I can't picture an adult Maisie (yes, I know there's an actress), it seems more suited to a child.

Ella

I'm so sorry but I don't like either. Ella is nothingy and Maisie is cutesy. If you forced me to choose I'd pick Ella, but only because I don't like cutesy names.

Snugglybuggly · 21/10/2021 01:20

Maisie

groovergirl · 21/10/2021 01:53

They're both a bit vapid, and I know three dogs named Maisie.

How about these, with Ella as nn?
Eliana
Elinor
Ellery
Eleri (the Cornish name pron ell-AIR-ee)
Elowyn
Elestren
Eloise
Elysia
Elissa

I really don't like either as Ella is overused/dull and Maisie is very cutesy. Thanks f I had to choose, I'd go for Ella.

Namechangedforspooky · 21/10/2021 07:31

I really like Maisie. Ella is ok but I know far more of them (primary age)

Soulstirring · 21/10/2021 07:32

Ella

Aria20 · 21/10/2021 07:34

Ella is beautiful. Maisie is nice and cute. I'd go with Ella.

Animood · 21/10/2021 07:36

Maisie is too cutesy.

Imagine being a 50 year old with a serious job (think judge, ceo, consultant surgeon) and being called bloody Maisie.

Ella is better, but I still don't love it.

daisypond · 21/10/2021 08:31

Sorry, I’m not keen on either. Maisie is too cutesy- it’s short for Margaret. If you used that, it would be a front-runner. Ella is very bland, but I’d choose Ella over Maisie.

BubbleCoffee · 21/10/2021 09:20

Maisie

becca3210 · 21/10/2021 09:26

Agree that Maisie is too cutesy and doesn't work for an adult. Ella is lovely!

Gonnagetgoing · 21/10/2021 09:28

Neither sorry

ThirdElephant · 21/10/2021 09:30

Ella. I can't picture Maisie as a hard-headed businesswoman of fifty. Ella would find it easier to be taken seriously, I think.

MerryChristmasToYou · 21/10/2021 09:49

I know lots of Ellas and only one Maisie, so Maisie
