Lily or Daisy

[nuggetofchicken]

Help please.

I'm sort of swaying towards Daisy as there seems to be too many Lily-Mae's etc.

I don't know tho. Opinions please.

I think Lily works better for grown-up women, though I agree it's very popular at the moment.

I think they are both lovely names, I love flower names though!

Lily I prefer

I know 6 Lily's in the infant side of my sons school (5 of these are Lily-Mays) and I only know one daisy who is in her late 20s so I prefer Daisy just because it is less popular

Not overly keen on either, but I agree that Lily works a bit better on a grown woman.

Both lovely.

Have just realised I hardly ever say anything positive on here.

I like both too but agree that Lily is better when an adult.

I know a daisy-mae whose sisters are lily-mae, poppy and blossom. Once she started with the flower theme she thought she might as well carry on! They are always called Days and Lil so it depends if you like the shortenings although both are popular round here

my dneice changed her name from Daisy at 14. nuff said

Neither are my style, but Lily is the nicer one of the two & like others have already said it works better on an adult.

Daisy is too twee & cutesy for me.

Daisy. I do like both though

I have a Lily, so I choose that (although it's nowhere near as popular where I live as it is in the UK, and its popularity here is decreasing each year).

But I love Daisy. I think Daisy seems to be more divisive in real life though - Lily seems to be quite universally liked.

Thank you for all the comments everyone!
They're really helpful.

Glad to see other opinions on both the names, both seem to be mostly good.

Thanks x

Lily.

Lily. I can't cope with grown up Daisies. A doctor introduced herself to me recently as Daisy and I had to stifle an internal snigger.

Didn't Daisy use to be the nickname for Margaret? I don't know. It's lovely on a small child, but odd on an adult.

Lily is incredibly popular, and likely to date, sadly. I like Violet but we decided against it on similar grounds.

Didn't Daisy use to be the nickname for Margaret?

I never knew that! How'd you derive Daisy from Margaret though?

Marguerite is Daisy in French, hence Daisy being a shortening for Margaret.

Ooh I see thanks! Learn something new everyday. ☺️

I'd go for Daisy, I know several adult Daisy's and I don't think it's a silly name on an adult at all. Not like Teddy or indeed lily-mae

They're both dull and overused, there's so many more nicer flower names if that's what you like.
I much prefer Lily though of the two.

I think Lily is just lovely but sadly it has now been overused. Don't let that put you off if you love it. Other less used flower names - Hebe, Violet, Iris, Flora, Fleur, (Hyacinth, Petunia, Myrtle 😉)

I love both. I'd use Daisy if my last name sounded nice with it.
