Opinions on Maisie?

[Cooldetective]

We are thinking of naming DD Maisie - opinions?

I am OK with it. Probably judging on the Maisies I have known (none under 30).

Nope.

I had a lovely aunt called Maisie, she would be 110 ish now.

Twee.

I don’t think your daughter will thank you when she’s an adult.

Why? I know plenty of adult Maisie’s who love their name?

Love

I would not want to be called Maisie! It sounds so twee and comical and really doesn’t travel well.

Nice for a child, not good for a strong woman

I think Macy looks like it should be pronounced Macky…to rhyme with tacky!

Why???
I must admit all the Jaxons, Tylers, Ronans, Apollos, Darcy’s and Miley’s probably won’t thank their mums either!

Asking these types of questions are pointless really, as not everyone likes every name. If you like it OP, go for it. Maisie is very popular here in South Yorkshire. My eldest (16) doesn’t have any in her year but my youngest (14) has 14 in her year. My youngest also has Rose as a middle name, which is also quite yucky on here but I actually wanted to call her Rose but my Nan vetoed it quite loudly (different story!).

As for those saying they won’t thank you when they’re older either, people come to accept their names. I’m a Director in the NHS and I’m just starting to see the Teddys, Mavericks, Romeos come through the ranks. Girls names (as yet) I’ve not come across anything radical but the two Teddys I do know go by Ted as they absolutely hate Teddy and aren’t Theo’s either.

What I will say is, wait until they’re born to name them. I was absolutely adamant on Amber for my first. There was no deviation. But when she was born she absolutely wasn’t an Amber and both she and I are happy with the name we went for in the end.

Lovely at any age

Lovely name.

I wonder what an Amber would need to look like as a newborn? 🤔

Keep wondering, @Reddelilah .

No. But I've heard worse.

I will. I just can’t see how a tiny newborn would ever look like a ‘Sue’ or a ‘Amber or a ‘Sarah’…. they all look the same!

They don't. Sometimes a baby just doesn't look like the chosen name.

It was my grandmother's name and I love it. I would of named DD Maisie if my cousin hadn't named her DD it first. There is also a little girl in Dds class named Maisie. There's quite a few around here I think, I'm in Scotland if that makes any difference.

I like it.

It’s a bit ditzy, but if “sensible” isn’t your vibe then that’s okay.

@Reddelilahi just can’t describe it. I looked at her and thought “nope, she’s not an amber”. And that was that! And it was honestly the name I loved since finding out she was a girl.

Known a few, different ages lovely name!
one is known as May though!
it’s finding a middle name to pair with it though…
the one I know are
Maisie Jane
Maisie Iris
Maisie Chelsea
Maisie Sinead

It’s one of my favourites but I didn’t get to use it. Really pretty.
