What goes with Daisy?

[scater]

Hi all

Any thoughts. We are expecting twin girls and set on daisy for one. However struggling with a second.

Quite like Emma and dh has just suggested pippa.

Oh skater. Poppy is one of my favourite names. So is Daisy but DH didn't like it and dd was called another very pretty name. I used to dream of having twin girls called Poppy and Louisa so how about Louisa? I had a little boy at 27 weeks who was with us for only a few hours so I know how you feel. He'd be 17 now so the raw pain has gone. It does eventually. >>>>>hugs

Daisy is a diminutive of the French Marguerite. It is not a diminutive of Margaret btw.

I have a daisy Olivia but she gets called Bella (don't ask lol)
Daisy and Olivia
Daisy and belle
Daisy and Penelope
Daisy and Darcy

I know a daisy and Martha and a daisy and Annabel

Daisy and Katie/Kate
Daisy and Lottie

So many lovely suggestions thanks. It's a bugger as we are the last to have dc that lots of the names seem to have been taken, and why do people insist on calling their pets human names?!

near the windmill, historically it was used used as a diminutive of Margaret. Probably because of the French. But it was common for Margarets to be known has Daisy, Daisy was a "home name" as it were and not for best. In little women meg's daughter is known as Daisy though her full name is Margaret after her mother.

As Indith says, Daisy was used as a pet name version of the English-language name Margaret. It became popular in the 19th century and was especially fashionable in the USA. Another well-known example, along with the Meg in 'Little Women', was real life Victorian Daisy Ashford (child author of the wonderful 'The Young Visiters'), who was christened Margaret.

Because it was fashionable, girlish, fresh, pretty, Daisy was also sometimes used as a nickname for Victorian girls with other names. So were names such as Lily.

Margaret (and the French name Marguerite ) are both versions of a Greek word which means pearl. Marguerite is also the French word for daisy.

I've just looked up Margaret and, if Wikipedia is to be believed, it has the most astonishing variety of nicknames/alternative forms:
