No it doesn't tbh.
I've been on here long enough to know there's something of a hive mentality when it comes to names, hence unusual and sometimes outlandish names will be given the stamp of approval when in real life people would be
. In the same vein I've never even heard anyone use the word 'cutesy' in relation to a name in real life.
You can explain over and over about the diminutives aspect but as I keep saying times change, and these names are now recognised in their own right. There were plenty of elderly women in the past who were named Mildred, Margaret, Elizabeth etc at birth, but were known as Milly, Daisy, Betty etc throughout their entire lives without these names infantilising them.
Why should there be rigid rules saying Rose is an acceptable name but Daisy is not? They're both simple flower names. Yes, Daisy was originally a diminutive of Margaret but so what?! - now there are plenty of girls called Daisy as a stand alone name.
When these girls come to apply for graduate positions, or for promotions etc, they might well have their CV read, or be interviewed, by someone of the generation above who has a daughter also called the same name. Daughter's friends and friends' daughters may also be called Molly, Daisy, Poppy etc. People will be familiar with these names and I just don't see it being an issue.
That's why I felt it was OTT to say you felt it was a 'shame' a generation of girls will grow up with these names. If you book into a GPs when you're older and notice one of the doctors is called Dr Evie Jones, will you really think anything of that? Or you report a crime and the detective is called DS Maisie Smith, will you actually think "What a shame! Why oh why isn't she called Margaret?".
However, I think we're never going to see eye to eye on this.
