Maisie?

Expecting baby number 2 and we have suddenly fallen in love with the name Maisie (or should it be spelt Maisy?)
Think it would be such a lovely name for a little girl, was just worried it may be a bit cute for an adult.
Any thoughts or adult Maisies out there?
Thanks in advance

I have a four yo Maisie - obviously I'm a fan!

People always say it's 'pretty', never 'cute'. It's more popular than it was when DD was born, I liked it because it was old fashioned and a bit different at the time.

Very pretty, but maybe put Mae on the birth certificate. Both Mae and Maisie at the school where I taught are lovely girls and very popular.

Cute for a toddler not so sure for an adult I'm afraid.

It's a beautiful name! I know a Lady called Maisie and I don't think it sounds too cutsie for an Adult at all!

Really gorgeous name xxx

It feels twee and very 'of the moment' to me, sorry.

I think it's a bit soft.

Not usually a fan of cute names that sound great when you are 3 and not so much at 33.
I don't think Maisie fits that category though, I think it's lovely and perfectly acceptable for an adult. I did have an elderly aunt with the name though so that may be clouding my judgment.

I have a Maisie.
The only other Maisie I know was an elderly friend of my parents (died several years ago would now be 80? 90? - old anyway!)
Definately suits any age.
Don't use it - don't want too many
