I don't have long at all now until my daughter is born and have narrowed it down to these 2 names. Please could you let me know which you prefer, thank you Smile

Both gorgeous names. I think if I were you, I'd think about whether I wanted a name with a variety of possible nicknames or not. Matilda Daisy or Daisy Matilda are equally as nice, so why not see what she looks like and then decide!

Matilda definitely seems to be the favourite on here then! It's funny cos in real life everyone seems to prefer Daisy!

Matilda; it's elegant and feminine but a very adult name at the same time.

How strange. Daisy was our first choice name with dd but when she was born we decided it didnt suit her so we decided on Matilda! Really suits her, lots of her friends call her tilda. Can also use Tilly, mattie, etc

Will you shorten either to a nickname? Matilda has some lovely nicknames but struggling to think with Daisy. Also reminds me of a cow, sorry about that.

Really? Amongst 6? I know Daisy is popular but it isn't in the top 10, would have thought that would be more likely with those names?

Otherwise your DD will find herself amongst6 other Daisys at school.
