Daisy?

I have a 2019 Daisy. I was also worried about the same thing, but I love it even more now.

I have a nearly 13 year old Daisy! We don’t know any others and she is the only Daisy in her year group. I love it probably more now than ever and she likes it too..

I disagree that it’s too cutesy for an adult.. it’s no more cutesy than lots of other names like Rosie, Lily etc..

I teach 3 Daisys . 1 is 17 , one is 15 and one is 13 . They are all totally different personalities, but it suits them all . Lovely name .

Love Daisy.

I know several in their 20’s the same age as my dses, they don’t seem to have a problem with their name.

It's beautiful. I would probably go with Margaret as a legal name (which I think is stunning too) , but use Daisy as a nickname. Gives her the option to use either when she grows up.

Absolutely love the name Daisy
I have young children and have never met a Daisy
This name's numbers have been falling most years since 2010 (when they peaked) so it's a good time to pick this name as it's falling 📉 rather than trending up 📈

@beetree1 other than my late Nana I know 2. Friends 11yo & cousins 5yo.

I love it x

My Nana was called Daisy. Unfortunately she died quite young, but she was in her 60's, never had a problem with it as an adult. One set of work friends called her Dee after an initial misunderstanding, but it stuck. (Introduced as initial surname)

There's reasons some names are not popular other than the name hadn't been thought of.

I really like Daisy,

its my daughters name ,i loved it when she was younger not so much a fan now as next doors cat is called that and all i can hear now when i say her name is the woman next door talking to her cat in a stupid baby voice ,my daughter hates her name now for the same reason

It's a sweet, pretty name. It is a bit twee for my taste but I don't dislike it.

It goes beautifully with Jemima.

It's in the top 25. I know a few.
It's a bit girly but no more so than Lily, Rosie etc

I only know of 1 Daisy and she is 27 and I only recently found out her given name is in fact Margret, but she hates that and has always from birth been known as Daisy. Pretty name.

I don't see a problem with Daisy as adult's name. Daisy hasn't been out of the top 100 names for a generation so there are thousands of Daisies out there. The trend for two sylablle names ending with a long E sound is huge. She'll be graduating alongside Lily and Evie and Poppy and Millie and Maisie (all in the top fifty). She'll fit right in. Naming a child is something you really have to just hope for the best on, as you've no idea what you child will think of it: would they have liked a more or less popular name; a more traditional or more out there name; a softer or harsher sounding name? You can't know when you name them, and going for something classic and moderately popular is very safe way of naming a baby. And if she finds her name burdensome, she can change it. It's a simple process.

For what it's worth, if you want more anecdotes, I know people who hate their names as they find them too stern and serious and harsh, though Mumsnet would recommend those names over Daisy.

I have a 12 year old Daisy - she really likes her name. There have been maybe one or two in her primary school and 1 in her year at secondary not masses anyway. Lots of her friends have similar style names so I'm not too worried about it sounds when she grows up.

I worked with an adult Daisy. She absolutely hated her "cutesy and childish" name. She was always embarrassed when people asked her name. For that reason I would never give a name like that. Oh, and we've had two family dogs with that name.

I think it's a lovely name, will suit a baby, little girl or adult. It's like Polly or Lily only less common!

I know a 3-year old cavalier king charles spaniel called Daisy.

Oh, and Donald's friend...

Sorry, but I don't think it fits well to humans, especially adults...

I always say no it's not a dog name! and then everytime we meet a dog called Daisy she gives me this look 😒🤣

I have an 11yr old Daisy. When she started school there were two older Daisys who have since moved on to secondary and she said there are a couple of younger Daisys now.

I've never regretted calling her Daisy but she complains sometimes that it's a popular dog name 😂

I have friends with a daughter called Daisy, now in her mid-20s. She doesn’t like it. She thinks it’s childish and predisposes people not to take her seriously. And she can’t do anything about the name, like calling yourself Rebecca not Becky or Becks. It’s all she has. It is cute, but not perhaps a name to go through life with.

It was my great grandmother's name (born 1901) and other than that I personally know only two others, an 18 yo and a 2 yo.

I think it's lovely and not overused in the slightest.

I only know one Daisy (2) - and it goes really well with Jemima!
