Just wondering what people's views on Maisie were.
we have another girls name all lined up ready to use, but I really like Maisie as well and just wondered what views were

I think it's lovely.

It was my grandma's name and I would love to use it if I ever had a 2nd dd (I know my Dad would love it if I did) but I'm concerned it's a wee bit too similar to dd1 (Cassie)

What's the other name you've got lined up?

Our other name is Matilda (tilly for short)

I really love both names but I think DH is more keen on Matilda x

Matilda is lovely.

Not keen on Tilly as a shortening though.

Spicemonster - that is dreadful

I saw an Alivia on CBeebies a few weeks back

I love both names though I did have a yellow labrador called Maisie

ItsMargotBeaurEGGarde · 10/04/2009 14:07

Prefer Daisy.

Astrophe · 10/04/2009 14:10

I think its cute, but maybe not so good for an older girl/grown up. I think its short for Margaret though? I think I'd use Margaret and shorten to Maisie, that way an older girl/woman can have Margaret or Meg etc as options.

YesSirICanBoogie · 10/04/2009 21:03

Pilki - I have a Matilda who's known as Tilly and expecting DC2 in 4 weeks and Maisie is our girl's name!

lunamoon2 · 11/04/2009 13:24

Maisie mouse.
If you like it then go for it.

My dd's name is Maia and I sometimes call her maisie as a nickname. I like it and don't know any round here but agree with whoever said better as a shortening for something so she'll have more options when older, it's quite a cute name and she may not always want to be cute!
I think I prefer Matilda and tilly though, leaves lots of options for nicknames and still quite unusual.

BikeRunSki · 11/04/2009 13:45

Mouse!

Matilda Maisie would be lovely though!

suwoo · 11/04/2009 13:49

I like Maisie, two of my good friends each have one but they are 5 not babies.

Alishanty · 11/04/2009 14:49

I like it. Had a great aunt Maisie. Wouldn't have used it myself tho as I know of 3. Also like Matilda.

I did like Maisie, but now all I think when I hear it, is Maisie Raine (TV show with Pauline Quirke)...
