I got a gift certificate to Macy's over the week-end, for my birthday. :-)

That's what Macy will always be to me, a department store. Since I don't like it for a person I suppose my answer to your question would be that it needs a formal name -- so that she could use the formal name instead of Macy. Mercedes, Clemence ("clay-MAHnS"), Marcela / Marcella / Marcelline, Damaris, Maeve Cathleen (mae + C.), Marisa?

Now Maisie (from Margaret / Mary), now there's a nn I adore. Very cute.

Yes, I think it can, because after all, Macy isn't short for anything (I don't think Maccius counts :). But I think it looks more like a full name with the spelling Macie.

I think it can.

I think it's fine on its own. It's feminine nd spunky, imo, nd I think it can hold its own as a formal name.

Yes, it can stand on it's own.

I've never seen it used as anything other than a full name, so I'm going to say it stand son its own.
