Me again.

I am very nearly due with my first girl. I would really like a nature name and was leaning towards Daisy but DH finds it too twee and simple. He doesn't think it's interesting enough but he would go with it if I really want it.
Iris and Hazel are new contenders. Iris makes me think of rainbows and beautiful flowers whereas Hazel gives me autumny brown vibes. So I'm perhaps leaning more towards Iris as it's spring. I quite like Rissy as an affectionate name.
I like that Hazel has links to Irish mythology, as my son's have Irish names, so it's also a strong contender (someone mentioned this on another thread).
Daphne is a long term favourite but it's not sticking somehow.

Help me decide please!

Daisy!

I have a Daisy! I think it’s beautiful, fresh and simple. I also love Iris. How about Marigold, nickname Goldie!?

I like Daisy best. I don't get the love for Daphne.

Iris is the only one I like. Hazel is awful and Daisy sounds like a nickname. Daphne is okay too.

I like Daphne or Hazel the best.
