I am worried it fails the PM or plumber name. But I like it.

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I think that flower based names are either cheerful and friendly or very serious.
I'd put names like Daisy and Rosie in the first category and names like Iris and Primrose in the second but I might be influenced by the people I know with these names so I could be talking bollocks.

I thought it was a cutesy baby name til I watched Spaced.

Not really a serious name.

Yes, it's absolutely fine. Lovely name :)

Not serious enough for me.

My name didn't sound serious when combined with my maiden name (bit rhymey and silly) and its amazing the difference in the reception you get when you can make your name sound like you mean difference (like I can now with my married name). I know its surnames but the surnames made how my first name sound come across differently - one was a bit silly and current one can sound like a headmistress if you say it in the right tone - v useful!

No imo, it's too cutesy for a grown woman.

Of course it is!!! It's beautiful!!

I may out myself here but I know a Dr Daisy and she is very good.

( FYI if you are worried about seriousness of name you can search the GMC medical register online by "given name" to find how many doctors with that name are working in the uk)

well it's a top 20 name and it's been popular for a while so, by the time our children are adults, it will be a totally serious name.

It's not to my taste particularly but it's pretty enough and I definitely see it as a name in its own right.

There's always Margaret or Marguerite, which are shortened to Daisy.

It's pretty but not a bit serious imo but a person is more than just their name and she might have enough gravitas in her own right for it not to hinder her.
