ah no, it was daisy and Poppy, still too flowery

Tommy · 27/12/2008 20:22

Matilda - then she can choose whether to shorten it. Daisy and Rosie sound like little girls' names IMO which she will be of course for the first few years but she'll be a grown woman for longer.

(although actually Rosie is my cat so it sounds like a cat's name to me )

doesn't Jamie Oliver have a Rosie and a Daisy? It is just too many flowers in one family

beanieb · 27/12/2008 20:20

I don't know why but I just don't like Rosie. Rose, yes, but not Rosie. It's just too 'sweet'. Daisy I like but not sure how it will last into adulthood. I always group Nancy and Daisy together in my mind though and I love Nancy, so Daisy is probably my favorite out of the three.

LOL @ loolaboys - you are even less tactful than me.

hairycaterpillar · 27/12/2008 20:09

...but if I had to rank them, then it would be Rosie first, closely followed by Daisy then Matilda.

compo · 27/12/2008 20:08

Can I add a word of caution.... they are all very popular just now...

hairycaterpillar · 27/12/2008 20:08

I have friends with girls with these names and they are all gorgeous...so I like them all!

LoolaBoys · 27/12/2008 20:06

Matilda - Tilly nicest.

Daisy nice but very girly

Rosie a dogs name

Bessie123 · 27/12/2008 20:01

Janeite - I'll let you off if your dd is older than 6

lljkk · 24/12/2008 11:16

Tilda -- I don't like Matilda (I think of that awful Roald Dahl story), but Tilda is a classic English name in its own right, and Tilly is very cute, too.

Rosemary (Rosie) was on my list for DD.

Daisy, I just find it a bit bland. Plus, I don't like names without many obvious nickname options, so that's against it, too.

  1. Matilda - love Tilly
  1. Daisy - pretty
  1. Rosie - makes me think of Corrie too but a pretty name.
Pinkjennybellrock · 24/12/2008 09:55

My BF has just called her new baby Daisy. I like Tilly too. Rosie reminds me of Rosie Webster off Corrie.

janeite · 24/12/2008 09:50

Bessie - I have an Isobel too. So my name choices aren't doing very well on this thread. Oh well - I like them!

littleboyblue · 24/12/2008 08:20

Out of the 3, prefer Tilly, 2nd Rosie.
I rally don't like Daisy though

Tas1 · 24/12/2008 08:19

My DD is a Tilly, Tilly Alisha.

NorktasticNinja · 24/12/2008 06:50

Ah DBXmum makes an interesting point, I'm not in the UK so not up to speed on 'naming fashion', in that case I'd like to change my order of preference:

Rosie, Matilda, Daisy

NorktasticNinja · 24/12/2008 06:48

Matilda, Rosie, Daisy in order of preference...

DBXmum · 24/12/2008 05:40

We have a Rosie! Matilda is nice but perhaps a bit 'fashionable'.

Peckarolloveragain · 23/12/2008 23:58

I have a Mathilda

We call her Mat, Mattie, Tilda, Til, Tilly and finally Mathilda

Love it!

TinselianAstra · 23/12/2008 23:55

When our cats had kittens the first two were called Daisy and Rosie, and in the next litter one was called Tilly!

Sorry, just thought it was odd to see all the names in a thread title.

Rosie is a nicer person name IMO

Bessie123 · 23/12/2008 23:50

My dd is daisy. I also know a tilda (from matilda) but I think Rosie (surprisingly) is less common. EVERYONE uses Rose as a middle name so I think it's got a bit dull, like calling your dd Isobel. Don't do it, pick something different.

Rosie out of your 3 options.

funkydude · 23/12/2008 23:36

Matilda Rose sounds lovely together

funkydude · 23/12/2008 23:36

Matilda - nn Tilly

janeite · 23/12/2008 21:00

I love Posy too.
