Daisy or Zoe

I have a little girl Rowan. Obviously very biased but much prefer it for a girl.

PiggieWig · 18/10/2025 22:01

Daisy 🩵

LadyDarcy80s · 18/10/2025 21:59

In order:
Zoe - like
Nina - like

Rowan - too unisex
Daisy - a bit twee
Robyn/ Robin - too unisex
Frida - I sort of like it but Freda seems like an old woman's name.
Romy - nothingy
Sylvie - don't like it. Sylvia is horrible

Yes agree except quite like Sylvie. Daisy seems Ok for a young child but not for an adult.

Sylvie is stunning and would be my pick - I’ve loved the sound of it since I first heard the eponymous St Etienne song when I was a kid. I know it’s much trendier now than it used to be, but thankfully I don’t think it’s super popular yet.

I also think Nina and Frida are pretty and I quite like Romy too (although it always feels like it should be a nickname for something like Romola or Rosemary).

The others aren’t as much my taste - Rowan is all boys to me and I prefer the sound of Robin for boys too. Zoe is just a bit “blah” for me and Daisy is too cutesy imo, sorry.

@FlutteryButterflyRemi is lovely never heard it

Sleepnplay · 18/10/2025 21:47

Great list! 3 of your names were on my shortlist for dd- I really love Rowan for a girl, and also really like Nina and Zoe.

LivingTheDreamish · 18/10/2025 21:46

Zoe or Daisy.

Theextraordinaryisintheordinary · 18/10/2025 21:32

Fleur?

Theextraordinaryisintheordinary · 18/10/2025 21:31

Sylvie. Love a French name. Elodie gorgeous too. I saw a beautiful piece of art today by an artist called Etel. Loved it.

TappyGilmore · 18/10/2025 21:28

I know children with all of those names, and it’s hard not to have the child influence my view of the name! Except Robyn, I don’t know any child Robyns, I know a few aged about 50-60 and consider it quite dated so wouldn’t use that. I don’t like Frida either.

Zoe is my favourite, I wanted to use that for DD but didn’t because my cousin had used it for his daughter who is a little older. Rowan or Romy would probably be my other picks from the list.

Love Sylvie!

Be aware Rowan is pronounced differently in different parts of the UK. In England it is like 'row your boat', in Scotland like 'have a row/argument'. Scots often mistake it for Rohan.

user2848502016 · 18/10/2025 21:21

Sylvie or Rowan

LasVegass · 18/10/2025 21:18

Love Sylvie/Sylvia, Daisy and Nina.

Bishopstail · 18/10/2025 21:15

I like Robyn, Nina, Sylvie.

17caterpillars1mouse · 18/10/2025 21:10

Daisy - duck, oopsie daisy - I always think its sounds a bit juvenile and twee

Sylvie - pretty

Robyn/ Robin - ive met so many baby Robyn / Robins recently both boys and girls

Rowan - lovely but i much prefer it for a boy and all the ones ive met recently are boys

Romy - not a fan, but the only one i know is a boy

Zoe - lovely and underused

Frida - not a fan

Nina - not a fan

Thewalrusandthecarpenter · 18/10/2025 19:54

Daisy

Pemba · 18/10/2025 19:50

I agree, Zoe or Nina, lovely and sophisticated.

I have a soft spot for Daisy, but I suppose it could be a seen as a bit cutesy.

Quite like Rowan (nicer on a girl imo) and Sylvie is pretty, but Sylvia would be better.

Elephantangel1991 · 18/10/2025 10:51

Lots of nice names, my favourites are Nina and Zoe.

Mandarinaduck · 18/10/2025 10:08

This is a nice list. The names sound fresh, sweet, simple and pretty.

I really like Frida.

Other suggestions:

Sara
Vita
Noa
Cleo
Laurel
