Hi everyone, I'm pregnant with a girl. Struggling to choose between these three and we're getting close now!
Would love to hear which is your favourite and why. Thanks!

I like Daisy,

Not keen on Charlotte especially the nicknames Charlie or Lottie.
Camille is even worse.

applecatchers36 · 07/03/2015 20:06

Charlotte is classy and classic.

Daisy sounds like a cow.

Camille more unusual/ pretentious.

MummySparkle · 07/03/2015 20:03

Lottie Sad

MissAMinton · 07/03/2015 20:02

Love Camille, Charlotte is nice if a bit popular for me but I'm not keen on Daisy at all.

Daisy is just too cutesy imho

Jackieharris · 07/03/2015 19:52

Charlotte. Timeless, classless classic.

ThatCuckingFat · 07/03/2015 19:51

Camille, it's lovely and you don't hear it so often.
Daisy is nice but not as different as Camille.
There are tons of Charlottes.. Nothing wrong with it though.

I like Camille, but I say it with a french accent Grin and that's how it sounds at its best!

Otherwise probably Charlotte. Popular but nice and classic

LovethenameDaphne · 07/03/2015 19:43

I love Daisy. Don't like Camille at all and I'm indifferent to Charlotte, I find it bland.
They are all really different in style. I don't think Daisy will have trouble being taken seriously as half of her peer group will have cutesy name judging by current trends.

MrsBungle · 07/03/2015 19:01

Camille is lovely. Charlotte is ok and Daisy is a bit cutesy for my tastes.

Bonsoir · 07/03/2015 18:58

Marguerite is great.

I also really like Margaret!

Alisvolatpropiis · 07/03/2015 18:55

Charlotte.

Camille I'm not keen on, much prefer Camilla.

Intensly dislike Daisy.

tomandizzymum · 07/03/2015 18:54

How about Maisy?

PetaPipa · 07/03/2015 18:53

Charlotte is one of the favourites for the coming royal baby if its a girl. Worth thinking about if that would bother you!

tomandizzymum · 07/03/2015 18:53

I like Charlotte.

Camilla is nice but not so keen on Camille.

I knew a Daisy in childhood. Cute name for cute little child, but there is a reporter called Daisy, it always seems wrong to have a grown woman talking about tragedy or politics with the name Daisy!

JugglingChaotically · 07/03/2015 18:53

I love all of them.
Could also do Marguerite and daisy for nickname?

InQuiteAPickle · 07/03/2015 18:43

So on that note, I'd go for Charlotte.

TruJay · 07/03/2015 18:42

My dsis is Daisy, she's in her 20s now. She was always the only one in her school, wherever she went. It is more popular now. I love the name and she has never has a problem with people taking her seriously Confused
I'm not really a fan of Charlotte but I like Camille, it's a pretty name.
You will never get everyone to like your name choice though, a lot of people hate my dds name but me and DH love it

InQuiteAPickle · 07/03/2015 18:42

I'm not keen on Camille.

I love Daisy but as has already been said: it's rather cutesy.

I love Charlotte, it's one of my favourite names.

Bonsoir · 07/03/2015 18:42

Yup, Camille is also a boy's name. It is one of my DP's five Shock first names!

IWantDogger · 07/03/2015 18:37

Is Camille unisex? Who knew!

avocadotoast · 07/03/2015 18:35

I love Camille Smile

All three are lovely though.

Bonsoir · 07/03/2015 18:31

I don't like unisex names so Camille isn't for me.

I love Charlotte.

Daisy is too cutesy.

Justyouwaitandsee · 07/03/2015 18:29

I like them all, think it really depends on your surname!

shakemysilliesout · 07/03/2015 18:28

Charlotte

Camille

Daisy

In that order. I find daisy too cute. Charlotte is such a classy name.

What about camilla?

Sometimes as a woman, particularly when young it is hard for people to take you seriously. Personally I don't feel a name like daisy helps. Although it is a nice name.

ashesandfire · 07/03/2015 18:16

Love Camille. Love Charlotte with nn Lottie but not keen on nn Charlie. Don't like Daisy. Too cutesy, can't imagine adult Daisy
