Thoughts on name daffodil

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???

Amaryllis, Petunia, Eustacia? Opens up the options to; Amy, Mary, Nina, Stacey if Dd prefers as an adult.

I know an adult Daffodil.

I refer people to her through work on a semi regular basis and the number of clients who snigger a bit, raise their eyebrows or make some comment when they hear her name is shocking.

She may be blissfully unaware but I wouldn't do that to a child.

No, OP. Just NO.

To all those suggesting 'Dilly' as a shortening, a friends child is called this, except at school where they are forever being called "Dildo". They hate their name. As would daffodil.

And what would schoolkids call Dylan? Much loved name on MN.

Bonkers but very sweet Grin

Jonquil is the more usual option.

Hey moms! I’ve just decided to let everyone know that we have recently found out that we are actually having twin girls! Their names are going to be Stella-Marie Joyce Mitchell and Adelie-Blaise Kathaleen Mitchell! Thank you ladies for input on names and wish me and my wife luck with our girls! Kisses, Sarah-Grace❤️

Agree with others - shortened to daffy equals daffy duck!!

Primrose, rosie, lily, even tulip at a stretch!! But please,
Not daffodil.

What about something relating to daffodils like 'summer' thats
A pretty name.
