Daisy?

[ellxx]

Do you see Daisy as a "cutesy" name?

Can you imagine a fully grown professional woman with this name?

I really love it but OH isn't keen for those reasons, he likes it but only for a child? Just curious as to what everyone else thinks, trying to sway him!!

Yes I do. It’s a bit frilly for me but not offensive.

Personally I find it a bit too cutesy. Kind of like Rosie.

Though Rose is more classic and suits all ages.

My husband loved this name! I really like it too but I preferred another name so we went with that in the end but it was a strong contender.
I can imagine a grown professional woman with this name. Why is it any different from other flower names such as Rose or Iris?

It is a cutesy name. But there are a lot of cutesy names around at the moment, Poppy and Daisy and Alfie and Archie, and the workplace will be full of them in 30 years time. People on MN like to be quite hyperbolic and say that people called Daisy and Alfie will never be taken seriously but I don't buy into that.

I had a school friend called Daisy and she was really cool & not cutesy so it’s hard for me to think of anything other than her really. Can’t see why it would be any different to Lily & Rose etc ?

Love it. I dont think its cutesy just nice and old fashioned without being " clumpy" . Bit biased as i have a Daisy, she's studying a stem subject at Oxbridge. So not held her back. If you like it go for it

It’s actually a nickname for Margaret (because Marguerites are daisies) if you want to give her a ‘proper’ name on the b/c.

I wouldn’t though. Daisy’s a lovely name.

Really love it for a child but it's hard to see it passing the boardroom test.... Would you call her Marguerite or Margaret and Daisy for short? There have been a couple of threads on that recently, though those names also get mixed reviews...

It's nice, but very twee.

It's too cutesy & twee for me.

My niece is called Daisy, so personally I am biased and love the name. It suits her so much

Its to dainty. I wouldn't name my child that name but thats just me.

Hi sorry I wanted to add I realised why it sounds cutesy...it’s because it ends in that “ee” sound which automatically makes it sound cutesy, and nicknamey. (I know it isn’t) . But reminds me of Archie/Alfie/molly/polly/lily...if you see what I mean.

I love it! It's top of our list (currently 35+5!). I had the exact same concern as you OP but then I realised I was comparing it against the names of people I work with, but if you think of all the Isla/Evie/Alfie type names that are really popular just now then Daisy will fit right in in 30 years time. I say this as someone with a name that to me seems typically 90's US high school teen in movie/tv show which I'm sure some people would think does not sound professional but it doesn't seem to be giving me any problems!

Love Daisy.

Daisy daisy......
It's nice but..maybe a middle name ?

It is cutesy but that's alright there have been alot of professional women called Daisy it is a nickname for Marguerite so you could always put that on the BC...

Not for me

I don’t like it. Daisies to me are the commonest, plainest of flowers with no class to them. Plus it’s become such a common name

Theres 4 Daisy's in my work office, So I would say its can be classed as professional

I agree with some PP that Rose is more of a beautiful name (my Opinion)

Daisy's better than most flower names because Daisies are strong, persistent, unpretentious perennials unlike some of the fragile, fleeting, delicate flowers some people name their daughters after. I'm always perplexed at the popularity of flower names with strong associations with death, blood, war, slaughter or funerals (Poppy and Lilly particularly).

However, sadly, Daisy is Daisy Duke or Daisy the cow so the associations still would mean I'd veto Daisy as a name.

I briefly toyed with the idea of using Marguerite, nickname Daisy, because I like Daisies and their straightforward, hardy style of prettiness... Marguerites are big, sometimes colourful daisies.

I love it

I also work with a Professor called Daisy!

I worked with a Daisy (on two seperate occasions). It really suited both girls - even in their 20s

I can see both sides.i have the same quandary, I love it but wonder about it for an adult. Then I realised, in 30 years the world will be full of people in their 30s called daisy, Evie, poppy etc as those are popular names at the moment. It will be like being a woman in your 30s/40s at the moment called Claire or Sarah.
