Help[Opinions] Re: Full name for Daisy?
in reply to a message by meagan
I know many adult women with the full name Daisy and it's fine.
Margaret "Daisy" is really pretentious IMO.
If you don't want Daisy as her first name, I'd rather it as a middle name used as a nickname.
Elizabeth Daisy
Cora Daisy
Rachel Daisy
Sarah Daisy
Miriam Daisy
Paula Daisy
Victoria Daisy
Miranda Daisy

I wonder if Daisy strikes you as a more solid full name due to the fact that it is frequently in the top 20 or so names in Britain. It hasn’t been in the top 100 in the USA since around 1908, and I think it may have slightly different connotations.

Possibly, but it's still a flower name. I don't see it being any different from Rose or Lily.

I do think it looks less serious than other flower names, the same way Lily looks less serious than Rose. It's not that it isn't a full name, but it's light and fluffy and ends with "ee".
(The D should make Daisy sound heavier, but it's still sort of young. Maybe because of the yellow. Lily is light but elegant, while Daisy seems more bright and youthful.)

This is exactly how I feel!! Thank you so much for putting it into words I could never find the right ones

Meh, we have doctors and lawyers with the names Poppy and Alfie (full names, not NNs) so I guess it's just a different naming culture.

I've never met anyone named Poppy. It charted for the first time in the US in 2016, so there are people in the US with this name. Alfie blipped into the top 1000 very briefly in the 60s before (thankfully) sinking away.
