Does it sound too "cutesy" or fine?

Bit twee, but I’ve heard worse.

All the Margarets I know tend to be known as Maggie or Margaret.

Daisy feels like a different name (despite the same meaning)

Bluerussian · 07/12/2019 13:56

I like.

daisypond · 07/12/2019 13:54

Daisy is a standard short form for Margaret. You could use that if you weren’t sure about Daisy as a full name.

Too cutesy for me. I know a Daisy who dislikes her name. Her sister Florence now uses that having moved away from cutesy diminutives but Daisy has nowhere to go with her name. Cutesy for life.

Grufallosfriends · 07/12/2019 11:56

I don't like either of the two names.

MrsAgassi · 07/12/2019 10:08

Daisy is very popular (as is Grace for a middle name), but if that doesn’t bother you then go for it!

Hellbentwellwent · 07/12/2019 10:05

I immediately thought disgrace too

coco1728 · 07/12/2019 10:04

My friend has a Daisy Grace it's a lovely name

diddlediddle · 07/12/2019 09:59

It's a bit twee together - daisy is fine, Grace is a bit of a filler name. Could pick something with a bit more gravitas for the middle?
Daisy Eleanor
Daisy Alexandra
Daisy Ophelia

I work in Cardiology and one of our most renowned surgeons is called Betsy. In a male dominating field, she is doing amazing. You're name will never hold you back, who ever thinks that is daft.

Batmanandrobin123 · 07/12/2019 08:11

Lovely name. Daisy is beautiful.

TorchesTorches · 07/12/2019 07:00

The sound pattens are a bit line 'amazing Grace' the hymn. I dont think it works

mathanxiety · 07/12/2019 06:52

Lovely name.

Leopardprintboots · 06/12/2019 23:56

Do people on MN seriously think that in 2019 every woman that works in law is called Emma or Mary or something?

Leopardprintboots · 06/12/2019 23:55

Hahaha I work in the legal profession and no way would being called Daisy be a barrier to that! You should hear the names of my colleagues 🤣🤣
Daisy is a top 50 name for goodness sakes.
Deary me some people here seen to live on a different planet

NextdoorNeighbourIsATwat · 06/12/2019 23:37

Sounds like 'disgrace'

Bananablueberry · 06/12/2019 23:37

The name Daisy will not hold her back from any sort of career, it's a perfectly normal and acceptable name. I think Daisy Grace is lovely OP and they won't be used together in everyday circumstances anyway

RaguForYou · 06/12/2019 23:31

Depends what she wants to do with her life.

If she wants to be a model or an actress or work in PR, Daisy is fine.

If she wants to be a consultant oncologist, a barrister or a politician, Daisy is a bit of a handicap.

It's sort of on the upper part of the Fifi Trixibell fluffy girly spectrum.

ContessaLovesTheSunshine · 06/12/2019 23:24

It sounds like an Amazon Original/Netflix romcom title to me, and not one I'd watch.

Sorry Blush

kitk · 06/12/2019 23:21

Daisy is lovely for a baby/ little girl but can you imagine prime minister Daisy/ QC Daisy etc... I think you owe it ti your child to give a name that suits aged 1,11,21,41 etc...

Grace is a beautiful choice

NoSauce · 06/12/2019 23:17

No not together.

Astronica · 06/12/2019 23:00

It's fine.

FlossieTeacakesFurCoat18 · 06/12/2019 21:05

I think it's gorgeous!

MeMeMeYou · 06/12/2019 21:00

I love it! I thought of Daisy as it was my Nana's name but DH was put off as our surname is a D. But I still used Grace as a middle name. I'm a teacher as well has having 2 children and have only come across a couple of Daisys in 16 years
