Iris or Daisy?

Which is more classy and sophisticated?

DH has his eyes on one and me the other..

Love Iris!

Daisy only a little girls name IMHO.

Cannot imagine taking a grown up Daisy very seriosly,...would always want to say "Aahh,..how cute"

Hate both of them. Especially Iris.

henry37 · 02/03/2010 10:06

both nice just have different feel to them.

Thanks.

Daisy is my fave and Iris DH's. I can see that there are pros and cons to both. Daisy cutesy but Iris is quite hard sounding.
I am considering Lily, Poppy & Violet too.
I love flower names!

sorry but daisy always makes me think of cows.

Iris is nicer

Daisy is lovely, not keen on Iris, reminds me of eyes.

Jamieandhismagictorch · 02/03/2010 11:35

Sorry, I beg to differ - Iris is not hard, to my ears. I have a friend whose 18 month old is Iris. It doesn't sound hard, or too grown up for her.

Violet is nice, too

I think Iris is okay I know a little girl and also a 40 year old called it...but I do prefer Daisy...it's softer, but so much more popular!

zozzle · 02/03/2010 22:53

Iris.

Iris is wonderful. I would have been tempted to use it on a second girl were it not for the fact that DD1's name begins with I.

Daisy is a nickname for Margaret or Marguerite as far as I'm concerned and I don't think it would bode well for an adult wanting to go into a serious career. It belongs in the same space in my head in that respect to names like Poppy and Honey.

Thanks again and keep 'em coming.

I'm now concerned that Daisy's too popular. It's quite high up in the top 100 but I don't know of many. Sod's Law they'll all come out the woodwork if I use it!

I really don't like Margaret although Margarette (however it's spelt) is quite cool.
