Dorothy Violet is lovely. Dorothy is so much less used and less 'cute' than the other options. They're nice too I just think Dorothy has something about it!

poppymango · 16/05/2024 14:18

Also wanted to say maybe avoid Lily simply because there are SO many of them now!!

JumpstartMondays · 16/05/2024 13:57

Lily Beatrice for sure! 🥰

I vote for Rosie Dorothy or Lily Beatrice - both are beautiful names and I don’t think it matters that the sisters both have floral names. I’m personally less keen on Dorothy and it also avoids the same first initial as Daisy.

Lily Beatrice

Dorothy Lily or Dorothy Violet, both very lovely.

Dorothy Lily
Dorothy Violet
Rosie Dorothy
Lily Beatrice

DD 1 named Daisy

Personally I would avoid having two daughters with obviously floral first names, simply because it reminds me of Keeping Up Appearances... Hyacinth and her two sisters (Daisy and Rose) all named after flowers!

Dorothy Rosie would be my choice. It flows well, and Daisy and Dorothy go really well together.

FaeryRing · 16/05/2024 13:21

Lily Violet would be my choice!

rwa818 · 16/05/2024 13:21

Dorothy Violet or Dorothy Rose.... or actually Violet Rose

Mangoooo · 16/05/2024 13:18

Beatrice, Rosie, Lily or Violet. I'm not keen on Dorothy.

Friend2023 · 16/05/2024 13:16

Like pp says Dorothy Rose
(Dotty and Daisy is so cute)

Thanks @NuffSaidSam Violet has always been my all time favourite for a first name and it sounds less twee with Daisy, but my oh doesn’t like it at all 😔 Beatrice Lily is a lovely suggestion too.

Beatrice is the best name there imo. I'd promote that to a first name. I also like Violet.

Not keen on Dorothy. Lily and Rosie are both nice, but awfully twee alongside Daisy.

I'd go Beatrice Lily or Beatrice Violet.

CheeriosOrFrosties · 16/05/2024 12:41

Lily Beatrice

Orangesandlemonsq · 16/05/2024 12:40

Dorothy Rose

Fontainebleau007 · 16/05/2024 12:37

I like Dorothy Violet :)

AuntieStella · 16/05/2024 12:35

I'd go for Dorothy Violet

I think Lily and Rosie are too flowery with Daisy, but if you actually want flowery, then I'd go for Lily

timoteigirl · 16/05/2024 12:33

I don't think Rosie Dorothy flows but how often do you ever need to say the whole name? I like Lily Beatrice most if you don't mind two floral names?
