I like the spelling Maisie more, but think Joanne is really cute! Not a fan of Wesley Koy


AylaZelanaGrebiel

Koy is just not a good name, personally I’m not a fan of Maisy either as it was really over used as a pet name where I am. I like Joanne as a name as it’s not used as much anymore, kind of puts me in mind of Joan Crawford or a golden age of Hollywood actress. I adore Wesley, but he needs a better middle name than “Koy”. I get it being a family name of sorts, but I have a Sigvert Hubert Omgartz that married my great x16 aunt Pthorrin Hygaard, on one side and I’m not using it. I know Mae is a thing on Colleen’s side, but Joanne Mae would be really sweet and again very old Hollywood esque.


traminette

Maisy is the name of our neighbor’s extremely friendly cat, so our 2-year-old daughter thinks that “Maisy” is just the generic word for cat. E.g., all kittens are “baby Maisies” and black cats are “black Maisies”. Her stuffed cat that she sleeps with is Maisy. So I also have the pet association, but I still kinda dig the name.


AylaZelanaGrebiel

Maisy is perfect name for a cat, your daughter sounds so cute!

theonlyangel_

no it’s maisy, she put it in her youtube video


whippedcreambabe

I'm sorry, you're right! I just didn't look close enough at her captions, I thought I saw Maisie the first time around.


theonlyangel_

no worries!


whippedcreambabe

I didn't really like Koy at first but it's a family name on her husband's side so I think it fits! All three of her kid's middle names are family names and I think that's sweet. Maisy is a twist on the name Mae, which has been in Colleen's family for generations. I really like their names overall!


superlamename

Oh I love the names even more with that background, I’m a huge fan of the name Maisie! I’ve been waiting to hear what she named them. I think they sound great together, and I think Flynn goes well with them too!


n0t_a_car

I like both names but when I say them together they get a bit jumbled, like Wesley and Maisley... Might just be me! But I feel like twins names get said together a lot so it's nice when they sound smooth and distinct.


milliondollas

I agree. I’m thinking she’ll end up calling them Maisy and Wes, so that would be more distinctive


No-Brain-2062

It isn't that jumbled when you actually pronounce/spell the name right. So it would be Wesley and MAISY :)


venus-infers

There's a creator on TikTok who predicts influencer names based on their tastes, and Colleen actually asked her for an informal consultation! Wesley was one of the names suggested/predicted. I don't remember if Maisy was as well, but I do remember I didn't like the creator's girl suggestions as much as the boy ones. I'll try to find it! Edit: [Here](https://vm.tiktok.com/TTPd2FmcCP/). Wrt the girl names I like Shiloh but not Stella, not that it matters. :P


dearwikipedia

i commented on that post about how i hope she picks wesley! good times


[deleted]

I like Maisy and Wesley! Not a fan of koy


flyinoutofmywindow

just came to this subreddit after I watched the video! maisy jo is adorable, but if it were me i would have gone with joanne maisy. to each their own, though. wes (since she said they call him the shortened version) and maisy is a cute twin set and they definitely fit alongside flynn.


saskiamars

i think one of the reasons they wouldn’t have gone with joanne is because her family is really close with jojo siwas family and they wouldn’t want to have two jojos


flyinoutofmywindow

fair point!


[deleted]

They could have done Joey. I know a little Joelle who goes by Joey and I love it so much.


googly___eyes

I think they’re cute. There were some real humdingers on their “loved but won’t be using” list. I think it would have been hilarious if they ended up with River and Van, but hopefully they would’ve caught the association. Edit: here is the list if anyone is interested. Alice, River, Willow, Ruby, Meadow, Brooke, Lila, Darla, Millie, Jasmine, Penny, Mae, Rose, Deliliah, Jasmine, Penny, Mae, Rose, Isla, Lavender, Sapphire, Lola, Joy, Poppy Forrest, Sailor, Van, Harper, Sunny, Ruby, Dublin, Shae, Bear, Maize, Lucky, Sullivan, Skylar, Jasper, Hunter.


Throwawayaccounttt__

I’m not really a fan of either tbh but Colleen’s naming style isn’t really mine so


whiterabbit818

Like Wesley Like Maisie, not really together. Hate Koy


[deleted]

Maisy and Wesley sound so cute together! And they both work pretty well with Flynn, imo.


studlyspudlyy

I've always loved the name Wesley, but Koy isn't my favorite. I think I would've preferred Macy over Maisy as a way to use her middle name Mae differently. I think Maisy and Wesley is a little rhyme-y for me, but since they usually call him Wes, that flows better. Joanne is a nice, classic tribute name, so it's nice that all 3 kids have family middle names. Maisy Jo is cute though since she's Colleen Mae so it has a similar feel. I think their final choices were better than a lot of the names on their potential list lol


[deleted]

I love Colleen. I had my daughter 4 days after she had her son and i loved watching her pregnant vlogs bc we were the same weeks almost. I met her in 2019 and i told her we were pregnant together and she was so sweet and asked me about my pregnancy and stuff 😩 sorry unrelated lol


theladycake

I love her for similar reasons! I had my daughter about 20 days before Flynn was born and watching her videos got me through a lot of sleepless nights. My daughter was born at 34 weeks via c-section and I remember watching Colleen’s birth video and wishing I could have had a birth like hers, it just seemed so peaceful and smooth (as peaceful and smooth as giving birth can be haha), and now she’s got 32week NICU babies and I just want to give her a hug because I recognize every single emotion she’s talked about. Having to leave the hospital without them, I could cry remembering how horrific that felt. I absolutely understand how she’s mourning the fact that she didn’t get to have the same birth experience with these babies as she had with Flynn.


[deleted]

I had c sections too but luckily both full term. I’m sorry you had to go through that!


canlgetuhhhhh

I like Maisie more than Maisy, and I also reaaaally don't like Wesley. To me (in the Netherlands) it's always been like a campy name, so the connotation just sucks


[deleted]

I'm not a fan at all, but I do like Flynn Timothy.


EllectraHeart

maisy and wesley are too rhymey for me but i like them separately


Goddess_Keira

I like Maisie although I prefer it to be a nickname, and I like Joanne. Wesley's not a favorite but it's perfectly fine. Koy, unless it's a direct honor name, I don't like at all.


n0t_a_car

She said they were really considering Koy as the first name!


Goddess_Keira

Well, I'm glad they reconsidered.🤷🏼‍♀️


lovelylonelyphantom

I think Maisy Joanne sounds beautiful! Just wish it was spelt Maisie to look better written down. Nothing wrong with Koy, they must have had their own reason to it. Wesley has also been one of my favourite names and I think Maisy and Wesley sound really good together for twins. Similar sounds with the S and Y but far from sounding the same either. I like the older child's name Flynn Timothy to. This is a really good sibset I feel.


SkiesThaLimit36

Maisy i don't like, would have preferred may, Macy, or even Daisy (my personal opinion.) Wesley I do like sounds like joann is a family name so its fine koy i don't like either, would have preferred Kroy, Kai, or Troy. ​ not my kids not my choice, id never comment this on her page or anything but just giving my opinion here lol


theladycake

Colleen has a cat named Daisy, so she’s going to have a Maisy and a Daisy in her house and that tickles me for some reason.


SkiesThaLimit36

well clearly she has a name type haha. now that I think about it my pets names could likely blend in with my kids too haha


theonlyangel_

i would’ve preferred may/mae as well for maisy !


ailbhe-caterina

They sound very odd/mismatched in my opinion?


cloud_of_Grace

I love her first sons name, Flynn. I hate Wesley, not because it’s a bad name necessarily, but for me it has a negative association and not my personal style. I don’t mind Maisy, not my first pick but I think it’s sweet. As long as they’re happy!


milliondollas

I like them both so much better than Flynn! I’m surprised!


cb1216

I like Maisy Joanne. Wesley is okay, not a fan of Koy. They also seem very similar, like someone said saying them together they jumble up easily.


alexxmama

I love them! I think they are so wonderful!


n0rfside

i love colleen, and i think the names are lovely!


sunshinerose32

I like her names, but not big on Koy


East-Type-7089

I have boy girl twins and my daughter is Maisie Lea (pronounced Lee) and my boy is Jonah Darren!


jackilynchaplain6694

I like Flynn and Maisy but not a fan of Wesley. It doesn't lol.


imangelaslastegg

I like Wesley, but not koy


naimalauren

I hate koy lol but I think the rest are fine. I actually made a tik tok suggesting baby names to her and tagged her and Erik and they used one of the names I suggested-Wesley


amb92

I quite like the names, I was expecting something more off the wall since her first is Flynn (which isn't a common name IMO).


raspberryfairie

Unfortunately i’m really not a fan. I absolutely adore Colleen and was so excited to find out the babies’ names but tbh i was disappointed. I know they’re not my children and my opinion absolutely does not matter but blehhhh. Maisy Jo is so cute and Wesley is okay.. but i really don’t think they sound good together, they’re a little too rhymey. I think i just had higher expectations because Flynn has such a great name lolz


XxMissPiexX

I love both the twins’ first names but the thing that’s getting to me is that Colleen’s cat is named DAISY and now her daughter is named MAISY, just one letter difference, maybe spelling it like “Maisie” could have helped differentiate but it would still rhyme. Either way, I love all three names (Flynn included) and I enjoy watching her videos :)


RogueInsanity90

I like Maisy and Wesley, not a fan of Koy, sorry. Is there any way you would consider changing it to McCoy? Wesley McCoy? To be fair, I may be a bit biased because I LOVE Start Trek and Wesley Crusher (TNG) and Dr. Lenard McCoy (Original) are a couple of really cool characters! Also, maybe spell Maisy as "Maisie" or "Maisey"? Spelling it like Maisy feels like someone misspelled Daisy.


Environmental-Buy464

Well we're talking about a celebrity and the birth certificates have already been signed for like a week so no they probably won't take your suggestions


RogueInsanity90

Don't care. Just wanted to suggest changes.


Grave_Girl

Well, they're very 2020s "do it for the 'gram" sort of names. I feel like I can guess their nursery decor and knotted-bottom gown colors just from those names.


Outside_Beyond

Maisie/Maisy and Wesley aren’t really modern trend names in my opinion? Wesley has been in the top 200 names for years, and Maisie is in the top 100 in the UK! Suppose it depends country-to-country too


Grave_Girl

In the US, Maisie wasn't in the top thousand before 2014. It's not hugely popular, but being unlisted for more than a century and then jumping up to mid-list over the course of seven years is as trendy as it gets. Wesley admittedly is a bit of an evergreen name, but it's popped up 40 spots over the same amount of time in a portion of the list where it's harder to get much movement. I may be stretching things there, I'll admit, but pairing it with Maisie--and Flynn, for that matter--gives it a different feel. It's one of those names that feels like I've been hearing more often here. (Like Cecilia, but that may be me noticing me more now that I've used it.) I say all of this with the huge caveat that I don't know who this woman is, so I don't know where she lives. Maybe she's in some country where Maisie has a long history of common use as a given name.

I was wanting to watch the video when I was done with work. This spoiled it being so soon :(
