Maria Daisy or Marianna Daisy

[Pandypuff]

Which do you prefer and why?

(I just love Daisy as a middle name, I think it's so fresh and lovely sounding, but feel it's a bit cute for a first name)

I prefer Maria Daisy only because Marianna seems to 'big' a name to sit well with Daisy

I prefer Marianna as I think the syllables flow better.

Maria. Marianna it too fussy

I actually think Daisy Maria sounds the prettiest and flows the best.

Maria. Marianna is nice but one of those fussy, frilly names. Maria is much nicer.

Maria is a lovely name.

Marianna is too fussy and sounds too much like marijuana for me. Also, depressing associations (Mariana Trench, Mariana of the moated grange etc. It also makes me think of that Habsburg princess who was forced to marry her own uncle, ick).

Marianna Daisy. You could always use Maria as a nickname.

I like the sound of Maria but for some reason it makes me think of the word diarrhea.

Marianna Daisy. Also as pp said Daisy Maria flows really well.

I like them both. Prefer Mariana spelt like that myself, but fine the other eay.

Mariana 1st....although also like Marguerite...which means daisy!

Although sound wise like Daisy 1st

Maria
Marianna is too frilly for me. Also, is it Marry-Anna or Marry-Arna??

I want the Marry-Anna pronunciation, which is why I spelled it 'Marianna' in the OP, but i would actually use the 'Mariana' spelling (I saw on another thread about this name that a lot of people assumed 'Mariana' would be pronounced Marry-Arna, which is why I thought it would be less confusing to just spell it Marianna in my post

It will get said as Marry- Ah-nuh regardless of the double n. How about Mariella or Marina instead?

Daisy Maria flows best

Actually, we live abroad so it will get said how we want it said here

Maria. Marianna is a bit fussy. Daisy works fine with Maria.

And I love Daisy but wouldn't use it as a first name

Marien is another option

Actually I prefer Marianne Daisy to both of them. It flows better.

I'd pronounce Marianna/Mariana the same, just like OP does.

As has just been suggested I like Marianne Daisy best, but I'd choose Marianna/Mariana over Maria. As for why, it sounds younger, fresher and less possibly religious than Maria.

I honestly would just prioritise the name you want to actually call her all day every day for the rest of her life! How it flows with a middle name is only what you think about when you're choosing the name. No-one has used my middle names or my kids middle names since the first few weeks of my/their lives (unless teasingly!).

It honestly doesn't matter. It's her first name that's important. The rest is fluff, or for when you fill in forms, however important it seems now!

I don’t like Maria so Marianna - although prefer Marianne

I don’t think Daisy flows with either really, but middle names are rarely used so it doesn’t matter

How about Marina instead of Marianne?

I love Marina but actually like the religious element of Maria and Marianna and Marina doesn't have that
