I POSTED THIS ON THE OTHER BABY NAME BOARD ON PARENTS SOUP SO PLEASE EXCUSE IT IF YOU ALREADY READ IT THERE. THANKS =-)

We've pretty much decided to use the name Macy or Maisie, but dh and I can't agree on the spelling. He want the mn to be Emmeline. There will not be a formal name...Macy or the other spelling will be it.

His thoughts are Macy is just easier to spell and makes more sense. My thoughts- with a mn that is such a classic such as Emmeline I think that the spelling of Maisie ( maybe more the "z" sound) makes better sense due to the fact that Maisie has more of the 1920's -1930's feel to it.... Macy has more of the Stacy, Tracy feel. I can actually live with either, but just want to know what you all think so should it be....

Macy Emmeline
or
Maisie Emmeline

Thank you for your help.

Ah.


Maisie is pronounced May-zee.
Macy is pronounced May-see.


I personally prefer Macy.

Hmm... I like both names a lot. Why don't you create a poll to see which one gets the higher vote? I think I like Macy better. I find Maisie a bit little kidish, and I can't really see it on a woman. I find Macy is better for any age. They are both nice.
