After months of looking through baby name books and websites and arguing to find a name for DD3 due in 11 weeks we've finally found a name we both can agree on

When i say we've found a name i mean DD1 (4 next wk) has been calling bump this name for weeks and its grown on us and stuck only we cant agree on the spelling (maybe we just love to disagree )

So can we have your advice please

Maisy
Maisie
Macy
Maci
Macey
Macee
Macie

Maisie (assuming you are pronouncing it "May-zee")

or Macey (if you're going for May-see)

maisy and macy are different names though surely? maisy has more of a z sound, and macy much more of a soft c/s sound????

anyway, I like Maisy

I hear Maisy and Macy as sounding different
but for either of those 2 names I think I prefer the spellings I've just done

I would go with Maisy.

I agree, I would pronounce Macy differently, too.

wouldn't go for Macy without the E because it just reminds me of the american department store, so for me either Maisy, Maisie, or Macey

Well you need to get that sorted before worrying about spellings

I prefer the pronunciation May-zee, spelt Maisie.

BunnyLebowski · 29/06/2009 14:23

Maisie or at a push Maisy.

The rest of your list aren't names.

I like Margaret w/ Maisie or Maisy as NN: as it was traditionally.

I know a Maisie and a Macy and they are definetely different (although similar) sounding names.

I much prefer Maisie as it is a softer sound imo (May-zee). It is also the more traditional option, if that makes any differece to you. Good luck.

You've listed at least two different names. Maisie and Macy are not alternate spellings of the same name.

Of the two I think that Maisie is a nicer name.

I like Maisie but also Maisy is OK.

annasmami · 29/06/2009 14:33

I like Maisy (for -zee) and Macey (for -cee).

RetroMum1 · 29/06/2009 14:37

I like Maisy but don't mind Maisie.

Don't like Macy or Macey, it's a different name and reminds me of Macy Gray (didn't like her either!)

NOT Maci, Macee, anyway!
