We have pretty much decided on Lucy Alice but Daisy was another name on our list and yesterday w met a lovely girl called Daisy and it made us think again.

Is it too cute and little girlish?
A) I doubt my daughter will make Prime Minister anyway ( but who knows)
B) I'm not sure a name would stop someone becoming something if they had drive, intelligence, opportunity etc

mmm, what do you think?

It is an adorable little girls name but I do think belgo is right, sorry

there are other not so girly names that still have a botanical theme:
Heather
Hazel

for example.

I love Daisy (obviously) - that was the name DH first knew me by, as we met on match.com. Read something the other day (might have been on mn) that seemed to me the perfect test if you're worried it might be too twee, etc. Imagine yourself calling out the name in a playground - if you think you'd feel embarrassed, it's not for you. You can always give her a middle name that she can use later if she wants. Daisy Alice would be nice, and then she could use Alice if she wants to be more 'serious'.

yes too twee. Sorry. It suits lovely little girls and virtually no one else.
