What could Daisy be short for

[HannahElizaJohnson]

what names could Daisy be short for.

Margaret or Marguerite.

Its short for Margaret or Marguerite.

Margaret.

Daisy alone is a proper name, it doesn’t need to be short for anything.

DaisyMay? (as in Cooper)

Desdemona?

Daisy is the pet name for Margaret and Marguerite as above. I don't think you can make it 'short for something else . She could be called Daisy as a stand alone.

I think traditionally Anastasia

This. If you want to call your daughter Daisy then call her that. It's as valid as any other flower name.

Désirée.

Definitely Margaret or Marguerite as others have said above (daisy, as in the flower, is "margarita" and similar in many European languages).

Woopsa

Although lots of people are just called Daisy, having said that.

@LaserPointer

Margaret

Upsy daisy

Perfectly fine by itself but yes as already said is a traditional diminutive for Margaret.

My Margaret is called Daisy by family, Margaret by teachers and Peggy by friends.
