Daisy?

I'm sorry, but I think it's a terrible name. So cutesy and twee and I shudder at all the Daisy-Maes etc.

How about Rose or Rosa? Much more sophisticated I think.

Lovely name, I like it.

I have a Daisy (DC4) and ummed and aaahed about it (on here I think! ) when it became clear she wasn't going to be a delicate little thing like her big sister....and eventhough she still isn't I do think it is a strong old traditional name and suits girls and women alike ..but I suppose I would (I also like Florence ), hope she grows up to like it as her middle name was a bit OTT ( think the gas and air was still having its effects )

RipVanLilka - I agree!

My grandmother had a sister Jessie, who mispronounced her name Daisy when she was little, and it stuck. The next generation actually used Daisy; my mother's cousin Daisy is in her 80s. So, to me, it's quite a strong adult name, because my Mum's relatives were / are strong women.

It was in my top ten possible names.

it's a wonderful name and you should go for it if you love it. I too am a bit bored with the snobbery surrounding 'baby/twee/girlie' names. I think your character determines perceptions, and if people judge you by your name then s*d them!
I would much rather choose a name I loved than a name I thought strangers might approve of.

I honestly don't understand this 'taking people seriously' business. If you met an adult called Daisy and didn't take them seriously, then that says a lot more about you than it doess about them and their parents name choices. Most people I know either grow into their name or make it their own somehow even if at first glance it wouldn't to your mind suit them

I think Daisy is lovely :)

Here here tstar! Its ridiculous to suggest someone called Daisy can't be a partner in law firm.... why on earth not? In 20 years time there will be a whole generation of Poppy's, Lilys, Daisy's, Tilly's etc...

It's a name... who are we to say what is childish, too old or too popular. sorry ,but in 20 years time I dont think it will be and issue.
Daisy should be a name held strong such as Poppy,Rosemary,Lilly, ect.
I have met one Dasiy and my golly she can hold her own.
I love the idea of these lovely different names comming up.
Traditional, yet new, I love it!

After months of indecision, my dd4 is going to be Daisy Elizabeth :)

I love it and the more serious mn gives her more options if she wants to be a lawyer and not be called Daisy

It's pretty, but a bit childish. DD2 has a doll in a flowery dress she calls Daisy.
Some thing really traditional like Daisy Elizabeth might just work.
Personally I'd go for Bryony or Heather if I was being floral. (the only Daisy I know is a rather well built child and it just doesn't suit)

My Granny was a Margaret who was called Daisy throughout her life by some people - lovely name

Daisy's one of those 'cutsie' names that are very 'of the moment' right now, I also can't imagine a grown woman being called Daisy or Daze for short ...I also know a fair few Daisy's of the feline variety

I agree with you - too twee and childish for a grown woman IMO. But that is true of quite a few popular girls' names.

Daisy McAndrew is an exception to some extent but she is working in the media which is more accepting. It she was a partner in a City law firm it might be different. Wasn't there a story about a woman with a name like Jasmine being advised to use her middle name instead?

reality, i thought you meant you had called your child 'kitten daisy' and I was thinking that it was an interesting name choice...

but then reread it and understood haha [bugrin]

I like it, but it's hugely popular round these 'ere parts.

Beautiful name. It was my first choice for a girl's name. Have heard of a few Daisys locally but doesn't seem overly popular.

It's pretty, but I wouldn't want to be called Daisy myself, iyswim, so wouldn't use it. It is just too girly. Poppy is the same.

I have a Daisy, I love the name (obviously!) but it has become very popular lately. DD is the only one at her school at the moment but we've met lots of baby and toddler Daisys recently.

I like it a lot - tis one of my dd's middle names.

It is my DD's middle name, she is Kira Daisy and I love her name and could have happily used Daisy as her first name.

She is mostly a sunny bright loving delight and it really suits her

Love it, its beautiful...the cv thing bores me, the being taken seriously thing bores me....has Daisy MCandrew ever had a problem??

Rhymes with Lazy and Crazy. Why would you?

I think it's pretty. Would you consider putting the full name - Magaret -on the BC? Not so pretty, maybe, but it gives more options when she's bigger.
