@BakerBear I absolutely love 'Roseanna', but only with the 'e' Sad and I feel like that's mean?

Daisy has been done to death particularly Daisy-Mae!

What about

Rosanna
Rochelle
Eliza
Eloise

Love Francesca.
Hate Daisy, I know a hulking child called Daisy, it doesn't suit her at all.

I know a Francesca who gets called Chesca

I prefer Francesca (and Fran) to Daisy. Daisy sounds cute for a little girl but, I think, would get in the way of being taken seriously as an adult.

I know a franchesca and they call her chesca.

There is a Francesca in my family but it gets shortened to Fran and Franny which are horrible!!

However i have come across a Francesca that was shortened to Cesca which i think is much better than Fran or Franny

Francesca but yes it will be shortened - a friends daughter is Cesca though.

Francesca. Daisy is so overdone.

My friend at school was called Francesca but we all called her frankie

I know two Francescas, both shortened. Daisy is a lovely name.

I love Daisy. Francesca is nice but I really dislike Fran so that would put me off.
