I think Daisy is very overused. Daphne's kind of...naff.

Monkeytapper · 16/12/2020 22:23

Daisy is lovely
Daphne = Scooby doo

SleeplessWB · 16/12/2020 22:23

Definitely Daisy.

Yennefer19 · 16/12/2020 22:29

Out of the two I prefer Daphne. Daisy is still a nice name but it is the name that Katy Perry just used for her daughter if that bothers you.

VenusClapTrap · 16/12/2020 22:38

I like both, but Daphne would be my preference. As a professional woman I think I’d rather be a Daphne than a Daisy.

PlantPotting · 16/12/2020 22:41

I love Daisy

Delphine?

Ajl46 · 16/12/2020 22:45

My grandparents run a dairy farm and have had several cows called Daisy!

Daphne is quite old fashioned... I like the suggestion of Delphine above.

I love Daphne.

Krazynights34 · 16/12/2020 22:53

Daphne!
Daisy is cute.
Also.. as pp suggested ..love Delphine

ellenpartridge · 16/12/2020 23:00

I like daisy but not Daphne

PetraRabbit · 16/12/2020 23:39

Much prefer Daphne. It's elegant. Dislike Daisy unless it's a nickname.

MercyBodle · 17/12/2020 00:20

Both cool names! My favourite is Daisy, but I think Daphne has strong appeal too.

DramaAlpaca · 17/12/2020 00:22

Daphne is elegant and sophisticated.

Daisy is cutesy and twee.

I know which I'd rather be called.

LightDrizzle · 17/12/2020 02:07

Hmmm... I think Daphne is due a comeback. It’s actually a lovely sounding name.

Sausagedog1 · 17/12/2020 20:57

I love Daphne, could you deal with her being Daph or Daffers for short? That's the only thing that puts me off.
Daisy is fine but a bit more twee and girly.

TenThousandSpoons · 17/12/2020 21:04

I like both but think Daisy is prettier and Daphne (I know one age 7) gets called Daph which I’m not keen on.

Porridgeoat · 17/12/2020 21:05

Delphine

nosswith · 17/12/2020 21:06

I'd choose Daisy of the two, but agree it has become overused.

lilly2000 · 17/12/2020 21:07

Love daphne! Also Delphine or Delphina are so pretty and similar

Calmondeck · 17/12/2020 21:22

Definitely Daphne. I don’t think Daisy works well for adults. I had a classmate Daisy who was a bit of a ferocious character. A floral name was so out of place on her. She nicknamed herself Dee.

Firebird83 · 17/12/2020 22:45

Daphne is lovely. Daisy is nice too but not as elegant as Daphne.

JanewaysBun · 17/12/2020 23:50

Daphne! I am genuinely still a little upset that DH vetoed it as always though to would have a daughter called that. It's elegant, sophisticated, Daphne is smart and witty and drop dead gorgeous!

Daisy Is fine too

Kanaloa · 17/12/2020 23:51

Both really nice. I slightly prefer Daphne since I know lots of little girls named Daisy and I’ve never met a Daphne.

Ellmau · 18/12/2020 00:14

I like Daphne.

Pulchra76 · 18/12/2020 00:18

Daphne....if she would have a brother by the name of Henry, Joe or Horace, or a sister Maggie, don’t do it and go for Daisy 😊
