Daisie?

Is it ok to spell it like this instead of with a y? I don't know why but I just prefer it. I don't want to look too "try hard" though. Is it common to be spelt this way too or just weird?

Glad you’re not using it OP. My first thought was it’s stupid.

Helenluvsrob · 10/10/2019 07:37

No.
Daisie is cutesy odd and babyish.

What about Dulcie?

AverageMummy · 10/10/2019 07:23

Noooo people will assume she comes from an illiterate family & judge her for that (wrongly of course - but it will happen).

Feels like it's trying too hard to be unique but is actually poorly spelt

TottieandMarchpane · 10/10/2019 06:02

You can have Daisy. Otherwise go with Maisie.

Cute only works for babies / toddlers. It becomes a bad thing very quickly.

MissHenty · 10/10/2019 05:39

How about

Edith (Eddie)
Ottilie (Ottie)
Clementine (Clemmie)
Margaret (Maggie)
Emmie

If you like an “ie” ending?

MissHenty · 10/10/2019 05:38

Think you’ve made the right decision @ohbabygirl Daisie doesn’t look right. Plus a daisy is such a lovely flower, I wouldn’t want to take away the names gorgeous meaning

Chocmallows · 09/10/2019 23:19

How about Maisy?

Conkerer · 09/10/2019 23:09

I know a Daisie. It's stupid.

HeadintheiClouds · 09/10/2019 23:04

It looks as if you can’t spell, tbh. Awful.

peachypetite · 09/10/2019 23:03

No. Stick with Daisy if you must.

DramaAlpaca · 09/10/2019 22:59

Daisy is bad enough (very twee) but Daisie is even worse. And it looks odd.

PixieDustt · 09/10/2019 22:50

I know a Daisey.
Never really gave it a second thought in all honesty.

Wavyheaded · 09/10/2019 22:49

I think it's cute too. It's not as pretty with a Y, IMO.

user1493494961 · 09/10/2019 22:36

It's weird.

I have seen it this way before, I haven't completely made it up. I know it's uncommon to be spelt this way but was just curious if other people thought it looked strange. It looks a bit odd to me too but also think it's quite cute. Don't know why I don't like it with a YConfused

Thanks all, wont be using it. I wouldn't want people frowning upon my child's name, or thinking I can't spell. I have well and truly been put off, probably for the best Grin I blame hormones

Daisy is a flower

Daisies is the plural

Daisie just looks like a bodged plural to me I'm afraid

NoSquirrels · 09/10/2019 22:31

Unfortunately, you’ll just look like you don’t know how to spell it properly, and your DD will spend a lifetime correcting people and institutions. I wouldn’t, if I were you.

hoodiemum · 09/10/2019 22:31

If I was in your shoes, I'd worry that people would think I didn't know how to spell the flower properly and had just got it wrong.

Chocmallows · 09/10/2019 22:29

Looks like a spelling mistake.

C0untDucku1a · 09/10/2019 22:28

Well, no. It’s ridiculous.

Walnutwhipster · 09/10/2019 22:28

Dreadful spelt that way, sorry.

No
