Opinions?

I love it spelled Maisy.  I think it's precious and would be an adorable nickname for Margaret!

This- I much prefer ths spelling.

Not a fan. I think it'd make a great name for a dog, though.

A friend is considering this. While I think it is adorable, I also think it should be a nicknane rather than her given name. And I think her spelling seems weird, but she doesn't want to chance it being pronounced as Macy.

I like Maisie best, then Maisy.

Maizey reminds me of corn.

Our old neighbors' dog is named Maisey.

Yup Maisie or maybe Maisy.

Not at all Maizey.

MrsTBird

I know dogs named Maisy... Not people

I like it as a nn for Margaret, but not as a full first name. I agree that it should be spelled Maisie- spelling it Maizey is basically naming the baby Corny.

I don't really like it. It's too cutesy for me. I don't think it sounds very professional or adult.

I think the Z makes it seem Teen Mom-ish. I like it better with an S.

Yes, exactly!!

No. Don't like it, sorry. 

I can't help but think lazy. Lazy Maizey.

All I can think is corn. Plus I think it would sound silly on an adult.

I like Maisy - Maizey looks confusing

This.

Plus that spelling is terrible...looks like you're referencing corn.

I think it's cute, but I like it spelled Maisie.

FWIW, there is a current member of Congress named Mazie.  I don't buy the whole adult/professional argument anymore.  The name climate is really shifting.  I mean, our presidential candidates are Barack and Mitt.  I know Mitt's real name is Willard, but society knows him by Mitt.  If we can have a president Mitt, you could very easily have a doctor named Maisie.

I like it if you spell it correctly.

I think Maisy is a super cute NN.

Agreed. I also think of Daisy Headed Maizy too!

We spelled it "Maisie" (for my youngest DD).   I love the name   We get tons of compliments on it.  I don't buy the whole "you need a super-serious professional name for when you're a super-serious adult" and LOL to the people who say it's a dog's name.  Seriously, lots of dogs have people names--you could say that about any name.  My uncle's horse is named "Grayson", that doesn't mean I'd think Grayson was a horse name

This. And I prefer Maisie.

The spelling is awful

Random thought... when I saw the name I immediately remembered the group called Mazzy Star from the 1990's and their song "fade into you". 

So now you have another possible spelling if you like the name.

I love it spelled Maisy.  It was actually our top choice for one of these babies for a long time.

kcisthebombdotcom

I think Maisie is a beautiful name.

Mrs.G123

I love it. We had it on our list for DD1's middle name and I think DH would like to use it for DD2 but I am not sure that we will. It is super popular in the UK (spelled Maisie).

We actually named our little rat terrier Maisy, but I don't see it as a dog's name, as others have mentioned.  Our male papillon is Toby and we really didn't think we'd be able to have kids, so our dogs have human names.  It has been very difficult to find a name we love as much as Maisy for our human child.

We get tons of compliments on Maisy and my cousins in England  absolutely adored it.

I like the spelling as Maci.  I'm not a Z fan at all though

Agreed. It makes me think of a cute little dog. As for a person it makes me think of a sweet but somewhat incompetent secretary.

I think it is adorable but spelled Maisie. No Z.

This!  And I think of corn too.

But they are 2 different names w/2 different pronunciations.

Maci= MAY-see

Maisy/Maisie= MAY-zee

FWIW, we've never encountered pronunciation issues w/our Maisy. 

melody921

I think Maisie, like in the kids' books. I don't think it's a standalone name, unless it's for a pet. It could make a cute nn though.
