To go with Freddie Smile can't decide. Any other 'D' name suggestions too please.

I'm not too keen on either Daisy it Darcey - they are both very usual around here. And to me Darcey is a bit like Chardonnay!

Daisy can also be short for Marguerite - the French name for Daisies!

I prefer
Delphine
Dasha
Darya

No, no, no to Daisy, Dotti, Dolly, etc.

Be reasonable. Would you honestly thank your parents for a name like that. I wouldn't.

Darcy is better, as is Delphi/ne.

As many pps have said
Your dd won't be a baby or little girl for long
I can't imagine introducing myself as Daisy, as an adult..It sounds ridiculous for an adult

It's a lovely name thoughSmile

I think when naming a child you have to imagine them growing up with that name and give them an alternative they can use as an adult

If you are a celeb and mix in certain circles, it won't matter if your name is Tullulah phoenix Alphonso!

Love Daisy.

RavenWings · 21/08/2018 00:57

Darcy. Daisy is very toddler esque.
Delphi is quite pretty.

MikeUniformMike · 20/08/2018 22:55

I love Dotty short for Dorothy. Daisy is nice but I don't like Darcey/Darcy/Darcie.

user1471552178 · 20/08/2018 22:33

Love Darcey :)
Makes me think of the elegant ballerina Darcey Bussell

BusterGonad · 20/08/2018 07:05

I personally don't like Darcy but love Daisy.

lovesugarfreejelly63 · 20/08/2018 06:48

Babyshark, I help run a Mum and Tot Group, we currently have 4 Darcies and only 1 Daisy on the register. Desiree, Dina, Deirdre or Dottie have yet to be registered!

AnyaMoondial · 20/08/2018 06:44

Daisy! It’s such a happy name.

SuperstarDJ · 20/08/2018 06:04

Out of the two choices, Daisy. I really really dislike Darcy/Darcey.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 20/08/2018 03:12

Oh I don't know. Theyre both lovely.
I prefer Daisy for a little girl and Darcy for a women. There fore if suppose Darcy as she'll be a women a lot longer than she'll be a little girl.

Other D names.
Darla. Danielle. Dani. Demi. Debra. Dina
Dana. Delia. Dawn. Dolcie.

madskai · 20/08/2018 01:08

Definitely going to have to go with Darcy out of all the names you've listed there. Daisy, Dotty, and Dolly aren't too bad for a little girl. But for an adult? Not so much I feel.

GreenTulips · 20/08/2018 00:59

I like Darcie and Dolci and Delphine

What about Dana Darby Davina Deana (I always wanted to be called Deana)

gonnabreakmyrustycage · 20/08/2018 00:54

I love and prefer Darcy just because D’Arcy Wretzky was so cool in the 90s - I even like her spelling too.

Daisy or Darcey?
moredoll · 20/08/2018 00:46

Delphi

wildewillow · 20/08/2018 00:09

Babyshark1 - it was a stand alone name but as PP said it could be short for Delphine which is beautiful!

Goostacean · 19/08/2018 23:15

Of the two, Darcy- Daisy is too cutesy for a grown up, IMO. Delphi is stunning- the place itself is incredible. Could be short for Delphine? (French for dolphin, I believe?)

Discobabe98 · 19/08/2018 23:14

I think I prefer Daisy to Darcey but both are nice Smile Do you like Dulcie?

Shambu · 19/08/2018 23:09

Delphi is a place in Greece. It's where the oracles operated.

Oh I actually really like Delphi! Was it short for somethings or a stand alone name PP?

Recently heard the name Delphi and thought it was quite sweet.

Jokat · 19/08/2018 22:59

I think Daisy does not work well for a grown-up, it is too cute-sy. Darcy works well for a little girl AND a to-be-taken-seriously woman.

DollyDayScream · 19/08/2018 22:53

Dora and Freddie sounds like a lovely pairing.

I know quite a few Daisys and Darceys.

mammmamia · 19/08/2018 22:46

I really like Darcy.

Daisy is nice too but - here’s a suggestion. It is traditionally short for Margaret or the French Marguerite which I love. You could have one of those on the BC and call her Daisy as a nn.
