Middle name for Daisy.

Dh and I can’t agree on a middle name for Daisy.
Middle names we have suggested are
Zara,
Eva- although I think it’s too much of the “ee” sound,
Freya,
Ava,

We aren’t fans of the usual middle names- Grace, may etc.

Bonus points for names related to the rainbow as she is our long awaited rainbow baby.

I love Daisy Indigo and Daisy Jade!

Agree with @ODFOx - such a soft, girly name is fabulous when paired with a strong middle name. If she loves being Daisy, great, but if, later in life, she finds Daisy doesn't suit, she can go by her middle name.

Daisy Angelica

Daisy Maeve , almost Mauve, but not quite, so it could have rainbow meaning for you but not be something that Daisy has to be aware of.

Daisy Elizabeth
Daisy Catherine
Daisy Victoria

@ScumbagDave

For some reason I immediately thought Daisy Ellen!

No idea why.

Daisy Indigo? Rainbow theme?
Daisy Saffron
Daisy Ruby
Daisy Emerald
Daisy Scarlett
Daisy Sapphire

These are all the colour names I can think of!

Love your Sapphire suggestion!

I really love iris although my husband doesn’t 🙈 that’s exactly how I feel. It sounds a bit like a fairytale name with ee/a middle names.
It doesn’t have to be a rainbow related middle name though. Im grateful to any suggestions

PP is right, Daisy needs a strong name after it (not a -ie/-y-/a ending).

Other PP suggesting Iris - genius!

The Spanish for rainbow is arco iris, so I think Daisy Iris.
Congratulations!

I don't think you need worry about the rest sound.
Just pick something you love.
I think Daisy is a soft name so I'd pair it with something simple and strong:
Daisy Jane
Daisy Ann
Daisy Claire
Daisy Jade (a colour so tenuously rainbow Ian?)
Daisy Violet (actually on the rainbow)

Congratulations
