All are female except for Zdenek.

Love Maisie.

That's the only one I liked as well! It feels like it should be short for something, but I'm not sure what it would be.

those are all horrible, except maisie, which is nice if, you know, youre a cat or something.

Maisie and Mari are cute. I kind of like Alyssabeth despite myself.

Alyssabeth went by Aly, which I think is a cute nickname for it. There are quite a few nicknames that would work well for that.

Maisie is one of the names that i dislike but when i look at the other names i am thinking about changing my opinion.

I used to know a Somalian girl who was called Mesa, spelled like that (prn. MAY-sah). It's quite nice, I think.

Zdenek...what's with the d?
the z is pronounced st in latin, so why the d?

[a-tergo-lupi.livejournal.com]

It's Czech.

[sweetest-asylum.livejournal.com]

but originally latin...

[a-tergo-lupi.livejournal.com]

Yes, and other languages have different spellings.

[nandy-pandy.livejournal.com]

This.

Perhaps it's because my daughter has a ton of Maisy books, but I could never name a kid that or Maisie or any other spelling of it.

idgi. if you're going to pronounce it like marie, why don't you spell it the right way? :(
anyway, my nn is mari, but it's pronounced in another way.

Well, the "ek" part gives the sex away on Zdenek.
