I have really been liking the name [name_f]Maisie[/name_f] lately (as a nickname to [name_f]Margaret[/name_f]) do you think [name_u]Noah[/name_u] and [name_f]Maisie[/name_f] sound good together? [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] could honour my great Grandma Dodi (her name was [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] [name_f]Doreen[/name_f]) but my fiance has an aunt [name_f]Margo[/name_f] that they do not get along with, do you think naming our hypothetical daughter [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] with the intention of calling her [name_f]Maisie[/name_f] 99% of the time would be wrong? Combos would most likely be [name_u]Noah[/name_u] [name_m]Rupert[/name_m] and [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] Alora ‘[name_f]Maisie[/name_f]’
I don’t think it’s wrong. I actually think it is better than just naming her [name_f]Maisie[/name_f] because it gives her a more formal/grown-up version to use if she wants and also honors a family member. I think it’s a great choice.
[name_u]Noah[/name_u] and [name_f]Maisie[/name_f] are delightful - but I really dislike the idea of [name_f]Maisie[/name_f] only being a nickname name. It is a perfectly acceptable given name in the UK, but for some reason, there seems to be a like, [name_u]North[/name_u] American obsession with banning nicknames as standalone choices. If you like [name_f]Maisie[/name_f] - name her [name_f]Maisie[/name_f]. There shouldn’t HAVE to be a given name.
Sorry, haha, that’s a huge pet peeve of mine.
[name_f]Maisie[/name_f] and [name_u]Noah[/name_u] sound great together and, actually, I can imagine a grown-up [name_f]Maisie[/name_f].
I’m from [name_f]Canada[/name_f] but very close to the USA. [name_f]My[/name_f] problem now is my fiancé apparently hates the name [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] because he sees it as an old lady name (no clue why) and I’m not sure if [name_f]Maisie[/name_f] can stand alone
I agree that [name_f]Maisie[/name_f] doesn’t have a lot of substance compared to other names. I live in a city in the Northeast US (super serious people) and I’m not sure if names like [name_f]Maci[/name_f] or [name_f]Maisie[/name_f] would fly here. I think it definitely depends where you live though. I see a lot of people here not using names because they only like the Gaelic spelling and think it would be difficult, but have seen many of those names used a bunch where I live.
I love [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] nn [name_f]Maisie[/name_f] (see my sig ). I think they sounds really good together!
[name_f]Do[/name_f] you like [name_f]Marguerite[/name_f] nn [name_f]Maisie[/name_f], [name_f]May[/name_f]/[name_f]Mae[/name_f] or [name_f]Margery[/name_f] instead of [name_f]Margaret[/name_f]? The trouble with many nicknames as first names is their sound. [name_f]Maisie[/name_f] is adorable for a baby or a small child but we live most of our lives as adults so it doesn’t age well. I like [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] - it’s a solidly grown up name that sounds like a capable and independent woman. [name_f]Maisie[/name_f] sounds like she would start to cry if she broke a nail. Perhaps my personal experience with a girl named [name_f]Maisie[/name_f] colours my judgement. I knew a neurotic [name_f]Maisie[/name_f] who wouldn’t even cross the street without assistance so it taints the name somewhat for me.
We are planning on using [name_f]Mae[/name_f] nn [name_f]Maisie[/name_f]. [name_f]Mae[/name_f] Alora sounds nice as does [name_f]Mae[/name_f] and [name_u]Noah[/name_u].
Any others?
Yes, yes, yes! I absolutely love [name_f]Maisie[/name_f]!
