Thoughts on name daffodil

[Sarahgrace123]

Ever since I was a little girl my favorite flowers were daffodils and I really like creative names so I was thinking the name daffodil for my new daughter. What are your honest thoughts? Is it to “out there”? Because daffie would be a really cute nickname but my sister and dad don’t like it that much. Opinions???

Go with Pansy instead....

If it’s the Daffy nickname you like, what about Saffron nn Saffy?

Amaryllis was a shepherdess who stood at her love object's door every night, sticking an arrow into her heart.

It should work, DAisy,Poppy and Rose etc, but Daffodil just sounds wrong as a name. But Daddy and Fully are both sweet as nicknames. What about Daphne?

If you like flower names, what about Honeysuckle? I know a Honeysuckle, known as Honey a lot of the time, and have always thought it’s a great name.

I recently met a Daphna. Not sure about Daffodil personally but I don't think unusual names necessarily hold people back in a business context as a PP suggested. I'd think 'Oh, that's unusual' the first time I heard it, but that'd be it.

I like Stella, Poppy, Phoebe.

I think people might be put off cause they haven't heard it before maybe?

Anyway I think it's lovely

I don't think Daffodil sounds like a name for a girl.

There are loads of better flower names like:

Rose
Marigold (Goldie for short)
Amaryllis (pronounced Amma-re-leeese)
Magnolia
Daisy
Violet
Dahlia
Jasmine
Poppy
Alyssa
Lilly

❤️ Stella.

Did you mean to spell it Pheobe?

It’s probably not a great name choice if you can’t spell it correctly.

If you did mean to spell it that way, still not a great choice as the poor child will have a lifetime of having to explain/correct spelling and pronunciation.

Kids wanted to call guinea pig daffodil but I vetoed as a bit ridiculous...butI do like Dahlia (for a human).

I like Scout from your new list but not sure it goes with Daffodil as a middle name.

I actually (for maybe an afternoon) considered Dandelion nn Dandy.

I think its pretty and you get kids called 'Bluebell' etc nowdays so I dont think it will come across as odd

I do like Stella from your second list. It would be the one I might pick.

Phoebe is OK (ish) though not to my taste. If you do use it then please spell it correctly or your child will have a lifetime of explaining themselves over and over again. It is Phoebe, not Pheobe.

Stella - really like
Eilidh - really like
Scout - like as a nickname but not as name on birth certificate
Coco(short for Colette) - like Colette
Jami - hate this - it sounds like 'jammy' as in covered in jam. Not good
Eliana - love it
Poppy (short for Penelope) - don't like Penelope or Poppy really
Gracelynn - sounds very American/made up to me. I'd go with Grace.
Pheobe - fine if you spell it Phoebe. The way you've spelt it is wrong.
Amaryllis - bit try-hard
Shay - awful
Adalie - sounds made up. Adeline is fine, so is Amalie, but not Adalie

I know someone called Jonquille which is a type of daffodil

If it's the flower you like, not the word, how about Jonquil? It's another name fro daffodil.
Or ditto Narcissa.

Lovely-as long as you like who gives a ...anything flowery is fab..least there wont be10 others in class called the same

You will leave her open to some very bad name calling in the future. So many more lovely flower names out there but not that one.

Not only the daffy duck thing / being daffy, but when I was at school the word 'dill' was a cause for sniggering - it can be short for dildo.

Like:
Eilidh - if in Scotland where most people will be able to spell it
Colette aka Coco
Penelope aka Poppy
Phoebe - spelling

Adalie as a spelling seems to be a new coinage, yet more popular than the correct spelling Adelie according to BabyCenter. But Adelie penguins(and Adalie sounds the same). Not the worst association to have but might feel like a bit of a millstone.

Adeline is a more established human name: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adeline_(given_name)

Stella or Phoebe are fine just don’t go too weird else she will spend the rest of her life fed up telling people how to spell her name

Eilidh is my favourite name but it got vetoed for my daughter because we live in England and everyone thought i was saying Hayley but dropping the H because I have a rough accent 🙈We also have an unusual surname and i didn't want her to have to spell her full name all the time. I'd definitely have an Eilidh if in Scotland though.

How about Daphne? Daisy, Dahlia, Delphine?

I really like Flora, btw.

Stella: cute
Eilidh: depends on where you live.
Scout: no.
Coco(short for Colette): nice!
Jami: no
Eliana: lovely!
Poppy (short for Penelope): really nice.
Gracelynn: not my cup of tea.
Pheobe: nice!
Amaryllis: cute.
Shay: It's not really my kind of name but I actually really like it!
Adalie: Reminds me of Athalie. I prefer Adeline nn Adalie but Adalie would work as well imo. :)

I have only read about half of the thread; but how about; Amaryillis; Petal; Blossom.
I think they are beautiful...……...tho just my opinion!
