Struggling to name our baby girl

[Nameforbaby2025]

I’ve name changed because the details are outing.

The two names I love are Maeve and Daisy. However, DH is called Dave and I have a baby niece named Darcy.

I can’t find any other names that I really gel with, grateful for any ideas.

Don't see any problem with a Daisy and a Darcy in the family.
Maeve and Dave I agree is a bit too much, what about Maeva?

I think Dave and Maeve is adorable. Go for it.

I love Maeve

Violet
Iris
Eva
Polly/Polina/Paola
Beatrice
Phoebe
Gwen

Instead of Maeve, how about…
Martha
Molly
Mara
Mabel
Grace
Jade
Ada
Claire
Caitlin

Instead of Daisy, what about..
Poppy
Flora
Lily
Rose
Jasmine
Ivy
Violet

Agree, Daisy and Darcy is fine.

And I prefer Daisy.

I dislike Maeve (and Maeva) but Daisy is nice.

I also dislike Darcy, but that's not the point.

Maeve and Daisy are both lovely names and I would use them despite the similar family names - it’s more important to choose a name you love than overthink these things. Dave will be daddy to her anyway, so it won’t be an issue a lot of the time.

Or how about Maisie or Niamh?

Both lovely names but I’d personally avoid Maeve with Dave because it does sound a bit silly and I imagine it’ll raise eyebrows when you start to do things like nursery birthday parties and school events- ‘Hi I’m Dave and this is my daughter Maeve’. However, there’s no issue with Daisy and Darcy for cousins.

Go for Daisy, I think it’s fine with Dave and Darcy

Maisie combines both the names you love

Darcy and Daisy aren't similar at all apart from both starting with D.
Daisy is lovely.
(Or Maisy if it's the sound of the name you like).

How about Niamh?

Stick with Maeve. Rename your husband David. Lol

Love Daisy! And Daisy and Darcy are totally fine for cousins, siblings would be too close but cousins are fine!

I know what you mean about the rhyming Dave and Maeve being best avoided, but I see no issues with a Darcy, Dave and Daisy combo. I love the name Daisy.

You could use Maeve or Maeva as a middle name with Daisy.

My husband is Joe and we have a Beau who is 12..
it really hasn’t caused us any problems!!
if you love it go for it xx

I like Maeve and I don’t think it’s a big issue.

I have a similar sounding name to my mum and aunt and it was fine unless grandma was trying to remember my name, more of a running joke than a hindrance!

Love this suggestion!

So do I! Best of both worlds.

It's a little softer than Maeve and more unusual than Daisy.

Best of all, it sounds nothing like Dave or Darcy!

Maeva and Daisy are lovely.

I don't see a problem with Darcey and Daisy either.

I would avoid Dave and Maeve.

But agree that Maisie is the perfect combo name between the two and I like it better than either Maeve or Daisy, personally.

I know a Dave with a Maeve and tbh it's never really occurred to me that they rhyme!

I've always thought Maeve was pronounced "Meeve".
Is it not?
I don't think I have actually known someone with the name so only ever seen it written.
Apologies to any Maeve's out there if I have always got it wrong.

@Needmorelego it's May-ve not Mee-ve
