I think both work for kids today. I think
Maisie would be far more trendy.
I do know a few girls either names or nicknames
Maisie right now. I only know adults named or nicknamed
Minnie.
I personally ADORE
Minnie and/or
Min as nicknames. I just can't decide on what full name I like for them. The Minnies I know are full-named
Melinda and Benjamina. There is also
Minnie Driver, whose full name is
Amelia, which I quite like for
Minnie.
The only little one I know nicknamed
Maisie (the rest have it as a full name) is named
Harper Mae.
I personally would use
Minnie and not
Maisie, but I do agree that
Maisie fits better today.
