What do you think of Maycee?

TexasAlly

My sister in law in naming my niece Maycee.  While I like the name, I don't like the spelling.  Does anyone else think that this has entirely too many unecessary letters?

mj.reilly:

I think the spelling is awful and the name sounds young to me. In general, I am not a fan of names that end with an "ee" sound. They sound too nick-namey and childish (for the most part; exceptions include Penelope...).

But yeah ... Maycee ... ew. Maci / Macy ... I could deal with it.

This.

I agree with you. Too many letters. Why the Y and extra E? I also agree with mj.reilly that Maci/Macy is more tolerable.

It's waaaay too phonetic looking. Makes me really want to enunciate the MAY-CEE. Yuck. Macy would be much better, although I really have a hard time picturing this one on an adult.

It won't suit a grown woman. Macy would be better.

this.

yeah I'm not a fan of the made-up spelling either. just looks weird. I like Maci.

I love the name so much, but I do not like the spelling Maycee.

I'd spell it Macy or Maci.

I think it's adorable!

Ew. It's okay for a little girl. Maci/Macy would grow a lot better.

Yuck. I love the name Macy....spelled that way...maybe Maci....but not Maycee.

Agreed. I like the name, but prefer a Maci/Macy spelling Maycee seems a bit much IMO.

The "ee" at the end makes my eyes hurt.  Why do that to a lovely name like Macy?  Doesn't she know it's the same name, regardless of how it's spelled?  I don't understand that.  Different spelling does not equal a unique name.

Do what you can to convince her that spelling is atrocious.  Otherwise, try to never ever write your niece's name.

I'm glad you said this because i was getting a lil sad... My DD's name is  Maicee   pretty much the same LOL and I LOVE it. I always get compliments on it.  I never thought about it not being fit for a grown woman LOL.  I'm sure by the time she is a grown woman there will be much weirder names out there.

Not a fan of the name but a terrible spelling!

The name is NMS but  I do prefer the "Macy" spelling.  It could be worse...she could be spelling it "Meisee" or "Maysee"!
