Daisie?

[ohbabygirl]

Is it ok to spell it like this instead of with a y? I don't know why but I just prefer it. I don't want to look too "try hard" though. Is it common to be spelt this way too or just weird?

Cute only works for babies / toddlers. It becomes a bad thing very quickly.

You can have Daisy. Otherwise go with Maisie.

Feels like it's trying too hard to be unique but is actually poorly spelt

Noooo people will assume she comes from an illiterate family & judge her for that (wrongly of course - but it will happen).

What about Dulcie?

No.
Daisie is cutesy odd and babyish.

Glad you’re not using it OP. My first thought was it’s stupid.

Why don’t you just use Daisy? It’s such a pretty name. You might later wish you had used it rather than finding an alternative for the sake of the spelling, it’s not how you spell it it’s how you say it.

That's not how you spell Daisy op 🤷‍♀️

I prefer Daisy and Maisy.

Daisie and Maisie looks babyish imo

I wouldn't. I know there is a political correspondent called Daisy so it hasn't done her any harm but Daisy is nearly (nearly) too flippant and childish as it is without playing around with the spelling.

I'm not a total hardliner, I prefer Jillian to Gillian and I know a woman with a Linzey and I like both of those but Daisy has to stay Daisy.

I like Dulcie as suggested, if you need a name to end in 'ie'

I like Dulcie! Not one I've actually come across on baby name pages. Thanks for the suggestion, will mention it to OH

Don't like Daisie at all - Daisy is nice but the "ie" ending makes it prissy and just wrong IMO.
Could I add Posie, Heidi, Sadie and Haidee to the list of alternatives?

It's fine.
If that's your preferred spelling then go for it.
People may spell it Daisy as that's the more common spelling, but there are lots of names that have different spellings.
I know a Maisy who always gets the spelling Maisie, but it's no big deal.
I certainly don't think it's weird to spell it Daisie.
The "ie" spellings do seem to be more popular now.
I know a lot more little ones called Hollie and Lucie than I do Holly and Lucy.
Don't let it worry you.

I know a Daisi

I don’t think it looks odd. Sort of like Maisy/Maisie where both seem equally acceptable?

Daisy is the long established spelling of daisy. It’s not the same as maisy/Maisie.

purple ah I didn’t know that.

Sorry, Daisie is weird and somewhat naff. It looks like you can’t spell.

I suppose Daisie is like Hollie - I've seen plenty of those. I do much prefer Daisy and Holly though.

If you want weird and different, try Day-Z.

I think it's cute too. It's not as pretty with a Y, IMO.
Me, too.
However, I would still use Daisy for all the reasons other posters have already mentioned.

It makes me want to pronounce it incorrectly - sort of like Dais-ee, with the emphasis on the ending.

I don't think it makes a difference as both y and ie sound the same. Maisie, Daisie, Millie sounds the same as Daisy, Milly, Maisy.
