Daisy

[Imabanana]

Do you like it? How many do you know? What sort of a girl do you think of?

Sorry but detest cutesy names for girls hate the message it gives, curly twirly smiley sweet. We need to equip our girls to be strong whatever job they do.

Kerala - why does everyone need to be strong? The world needs balance, strong and soft. There's room for gentle people too, and some of them may suit names like Daisy.

I know 4 people called Daisy. One is 19, one is 15 and two are 14.
I also know four pets called Daisy: 2 horses and 2 cats.

I like it but it seems very popular in my area.

You can be gentle and strong. Depressed reading all the shit young women are still putting up with. Just don't think giving our dds adorable cutesy childlike type names is helpful. You disagree that's fine but that's my opinion.

Rather wet IMO.
But also dislike Poppy, Bella, Maisie, Tilly, type names too. All sound rather silly and infantile one you get past four or five.

Exactly CP. It would be a cold day in hell before any daughter of mine is given a name on your list. Or Daisy. But many disagree as they are very popular

This is hilarious. I've never considered my name cutesy or not suited to me as an adult. I'm a Head of Department in a large secondary school and am taken very seriously. Haha!

Obviously it wouldn't stop someone achieving . Just don't like cutesy names myself.

What's suitable in your opinion Kerala? Something like Bert? That's a good old strong name.

Daisy is lovely and would suit every normal person from baby to pensioner.

not for an adult, sorry Ozp

Ozp? OP even!

My girls are Honey Fifi Poppy and Daisy Princess Darling , obviously.

There are thousands of great names for girls that aren't in that bracket. As you know.

And personally think the name Alberta - Bertie for short is fabulous. Appreciate am alone in that view!

I think Daisy is fine because it has become mainstream enough to be 'acceptable' now even in the professions.

Love it, but then I have one! It's classic and femine.

Kerala we get your not a fan, but then I think Alberta which you say you like, is frumpy and ugly, so each to there own...

Feminine that should have said

I like it but it is very cute. Feels like quite a slight name. I think names like Daisy and Poppy conjure up a certain image and you might be surprised to meet Daisy and find she's a rather serious, big boned rugby player rather than a cheeky boho imp.

I have a daisy, middle name maggie. Absolutely love her name and so does she. Have to disagree about it only suiting little girls as we got the idea as we knew a lovely elderly lady named daisy. Some people have mention daisy Lowe as an association, don't really know what she does but a model or something in her 20s

I prefer Annie or Alice.

LOVE the name Maggie. I would pick that

The name maggie means a lot to me for personal reasons, absolutely adore it. It was a toss up between Maggie Daisy and Daisy Maggie and we felt the latter sounded better.

But both Daisy and Maggie are nns for Margaret

KERLA1 Surely if we tell our girls they need to be called Bert to succeed in life and be taken seriously then we are doing them a huge disservice. Off the point of the name now but surely we shouldn't have to ape men or deny an implication of femininity to get on? Don't we need to value feminine attributes whether packaged as Daisy or David?

I know an adult Daisy. She's one of the most intelligent people I know, got a first class degree from Oxbridge and now has a high flying career. Definitely hasn't held her back.

It's not because Daisy sounds feminine that it doesn't appeal to me personally. It's because it sounds so babyish.
