Good luck

What MN thinks is irrelevant. This is your child's name for at least 18 years. Pick what you like!

Daisy is scrumptiously lovely.

'This is your child's name for at least 18 years' Hmm
... and hopefully longer?!!

So, can you imagine a 45 year old Daisy? If so, go for it!!

No need for the Hmm. When she is 18 she could change it by deed poll.

Yes, I realise, I was just thinking that a name is hopefully for life!

I like Daisy Elizabeth but Elizabeth might be more popular for a bit due to Royal zeitgeist! Not sure if that's likely or even a problem...

April is rather nice too, April Daisy would be quirky cool!

Elizabeth is nicer than Daisy.

How would you pronounce Elena?

April is vile.

I think Daisy and April are both a bit naff, frankly (but only because I know a horrible Daisy in RL, and April reminds me of April Cholly-Sawcutt). Elena, OTOH, is gorgeous - v. sophisticated.

Love April, love Elizabeth, can't stand Daisy, same sort of name as Poppy which I also can't stand.

Daisy Elizabeth - not my favourite. Daisy is a bit too girly to pass the serious job test. But v pretty.
Elena - fantastic name. Pretty yet strong.
April - quite like this but not as good as Elena.

Elizabeth is really unusual at the moment, classic and traditional - I like it.

I would go with Elizabeth Daisy.

Daisy makes me think of a carefree women, insouciant even. Not sure if it would communicate on a CV (but that's me)

Elena and Eleanor seem to be getting popular where I live. But if you don't mind that, then go for it. Really lovely IMO

Personally I love April - it was on my list until some male friends (in their early 40s) told me that it's the name of a well known internet porn star. Now I would never have known this if they hadn't said. And maybe I wouldn't have cared if I didn't know them... Just thought I'd mention it

Daisy Elizabeth - personally I prefer Elizabeth Daisy, however Daisy is a pretty name, and I know a lovely grown-up Daisy
Elena - I prefer Elinor.
April - I love this name. I also love May and June.

Middle names:

April Katherine
Elinor Faye
