Love Maisie.

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.

[wolfbane.livejournal.com]

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.

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.

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.

This.
