Amy has gone out of fashion. It was very poular in the late eighties.

So on the positive side at least there wouldn't be too many other Amys.

Agree with Merrylegs - my Daisy is Margaret on her birth cert - named for grandmothers on both sides. Many Daisy decorated items find their way in here too.

There are loads of Daisys now - very common. Amy is okay ish.

Daisy.

My DD is the only one at school.

Plus, everytime you see something with a daisy on it you will have an irresistable urge to purchase it. Hence we have daisy bed linen, daisy dresses, shoes with daisies , daisy jewelry, daisy pencil case. daisy lunchbox...

I love Daisy but DP won't. I know a few grown up Daisies. They are all very nice and professionally successful.

I used to pretend to be called Amy when I was little because I loved the name so much.

My dd is Daisy, but it does seem so popular. I had lots of Amy's at school when i was younger but i don't hear it now so much. If you are anything like us you will still be deciding when you are in labour and it will be 2 different names. In the end i wanted Amelia and dh wanted Daisy so he got final say and she is Daisy Amelia.

Amy but only spelt like that, not Aimee.
Really not keen on Daisy. There seem to be loads around and it only really suits little girls, IMHO. Plus there's the Upsy Daisy thing.

I love Daisy, was thinking of it for ours but not sure about Daisy Greeno? Does it sound a bit like a country bumpkin?

I also love the name Amy, my sister is called Amy so we can't use that either! And as a teacher I would say Amy is great as its easy for them to spell, not so important over the age of 5 though!

Both unobjectionable, I reckon. Amy a bit mousy sounding though. Maybe the Little Dorrit connection!

I love the name Daisy but DH hates it for a daughter, so I've given it to the cat instead

I also like Amy though, BTW, but it just makes me go "mreh, it's okay", whereas I love Daisy.

I prefer Daisy.

When I was 18, I had a friend called Daisy. My gran's friend was called Daisy. IMO it fits with a range of ages.

I called my DD1 Daisy nods I loves it.
