Baby Potts...can we do flower names?

[hollypotts25]

Our surname is Potts. We already have a boys name sorted-Vinnie :)
But my favourite girls name is Daisy as it reminds me of my granny ...however i cant decide whether its appropriate with the surname POTTS! The last thing i want is for my child to have fun made out of them!

Opinions needed please!

Lovely name but I think it would be followed by a bit of ribbing throughout her life.

[PixieChops]

We've called our baby River- all kids get picked on for their names regardless of what they're called. There's a lot of rude words that rhyme with a hell of a lot of names. I'd say go for it but then I'm not one to care what other people think

[hollypotts25]

This is the thought i had in the back if my mind :(
I really love it with the middle name Bella or Beau but i dont know if its a bit risky.

I myself have a flower name Holly Potts which i dont mind, but thats maybe not as obvious

[hollypotts25]

I like that approach PixieChops !

And LOVE the name River too :) Raine was on my boys list too.

It is a beautiful name and the connotations could be far worse! My cousin Sol moved to Sheffield when he was about 6 where everyone uses the prefix 'our' before names. So he became 'our Sol' which in a Yorkshire accent sounds like arsehole. Poor sod. See, it could be a lot worse

[hollypotts25]

Awww your right!

Poor Sol

Thanks for the encouragement though!
I change my mind daily thinking, actually it sounds really cute! But then some days i think hmmm .. am i being fair here?

I love flower names (DD has one) and I like Daisy but I think it sounds a little bit silly with your surname, sorry.

[Fridgedooropen]

Maybe it's just me but I don't see the problem. Daisies don't grow in pots! Now if you'd said Poppy Potts, or Fleur Potts, I would say don't do it. But I think Daisy is fine!

[RitaKiaOra]

Can you double barrel it?
Is it your DP's name?
Daisy your name -Potts
Or child takes your name instead
Or two first names?
Daisy-May Belle Potts?
Daisy-Belle is a chicken hybrid apparently

My Granny, who was born in 1901, had a childhood friend called Daisy Potter.

She never forgot her and neither have I. So it's memorable.

[VixxFace]

I love Fleur Ports

[LaceyLee]

I actually think it's fine cos you don't have pots of daisies. Rose Potts is wrong but daisy is fine. Plus it's a lovely name and you have a good reason to use it. Go for it.

I like the name Daisy and daisy potts sounds cute but maybe when she's older she'll have to do a little eye roll, 'yes daisy potts really' Like PP said it could be much worse but what about Maisie?

[hollypotts25]

I dont mind Maisie but its not important or memorable to me like the name Daisy is.

I dont think i could double barrel it as me and my partner just got married and i took the name Potts..so the little one would seem different to us both if i did that.

My idea was Daisy Beau Potts or Daisy Bella Potts.. so it wouldnt just be straight- Daisy Potts....but then are they too much of a mouthful?

Technically your right, Daisies dont grow in pots ! The worst thing people have said about my name is that it sounds like someone on a kids film or programme- which isnt that offensive i suppose!

[reuset]

Only if you're actually using 'flower' as a name. Otherwise I can't see much teasing potential. Wouldn't double barrel, first or surname

[Fridgedooropen]

I wouldn't use middle names day to day to 'break it up'. It's perfectly fine and straightforward as it is, no double barrelling or anything. Just go with it!

[Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost]

I agree with putting a name next to Daisy to break it up.
My suggestions would be
Daisy-Ella Potts
Daisy-Belle Potts
Daisy-Loren Potts
Daisy-Beth Potts
Daisy-Marie Potts
Daisy-Grace Potts
Daisy-Alicia Potts
Daisy-Leigh Potts

[needmorechoctoday]

Daisy Potts - it's fine, cute even. Would make me smile if I saw this name written down.

[Choccyhobnob]

I think it's fine! On the middle name though, Beau is masculine and means handsome. Belle/Bella is feminine and means beautiful so I would definitely use Bella as a middle name instead of Beau. Plus it really doesn't need to be Daisy-Bella day to day to break up the flower-pot thing. Just Daisy Potts sounds fine (and I'm not one for hyphens!)

[Binit]

What about Violet?

[hollypotts25]

Thank you! Youve made me feel much better :) i love Daisy as my Gran was a real Essex girl and used to sing the rhyme Daisy, Daisy to me as a little girl in the broadest cockney accent ever! Shes poorly now but it always makes me smile even to hear her hum the tune :)

Im glad you all think its as beautiful as i do

[Pigzoom]

I think Daisy Potts is a lovely name!! Beautiful! If go with it!
