She didn't do much, would be my objection - Apollo pursued her, she wasn't interested, she turned into a laurel...

That's the trouble with classical names for girls. Mostly the originals are described as a bit feeble, or they are 'baddies' like Clytemnestra or Medea.

& the short forms would be Daff or Daffy.

I wouldn't. Sorry.
