In both senses of the word!

I've heard it's a name used mostly by chavs

What do you reckon?

i know of a northerner who i would definately describe as common who called her baby Daisy (or Dais-eh) but i always thought it was quite timeless and classic like Molly, in and out of fashion but always quite pretty.

I get the impression that the op isn't seriously considering using this name herself
First time poster too......

I know three baby Daisys - none chav at all - all born in the last year.

My impression is it is popular at the moment - along with other flower names: Poppy, Lily, Rose, Iris.

But still a pretty name & pretty flower

Its used rather a lot now, but think its still pretty. I know a few and they're all really lovely people.

I think it's a very pretty name.

loobylu3 · 28/10/2009 09:48

I think it's v pretty and a vintage classic. I don't see how it could be 'chavvy'. Everything seems to be classed as chavvy on here nowadays -really odd!

It has absolutely ventured into the realms of chav and/or west highland terrier name.

15/20 years ago it was fresh and edgy (think Gatsby inspired/Daisy Lowe etc.)

Now it's just dated and naff.

Downmarket, yes it is rather.

Lily feels more classy.

wrongun · 27/10/2009 23:05

It's getting popular now I think.
More 'common' are people who use the word chav

I have a beautiful labradoodle called Daisy!

sargentpooper · 27/10/2009 23:01

It is a bit. Put it this way - I can think of a million classier choices! Daisy Mae galore round here, besides - it's a cow's name!

brimfull · 27/10/2009 22:59

no not chavy
I know 2 , one 17 yr one 7 yrs

anonnnnny · 27/10/2009 22:56

I think it is unfortunately. It's not dog awful but it's mostly used by chavvy types. Especially here oop north!

runawayquickly · 27/10/2009 22:56

I don't think it's chav either, like it, but in a small primary school we already have three - always think it's a shame, they're always known with second initial too (eg, Daisy M). Also Sykes, they're 7 and 6 too.

sykes · 27/10/2009 22:54

I know two and they're v nice girls but are seven.

thisisyesterday · 27/10/2009 22:53

i don't think it's a "chav" name in the slightest!!
it is becoming very popular though,i know at least 5 under the age of 4
