Seriously, you always write that and it’s ridiculous. Spot is a dog’s name; Daisy is a literary name and has been for over a century as well as a common French nickname for Marguitte.

My dog’s name is Sophia.

It’s your baby so name them what you want but …
To a boomer Stella is somewhat ugly sooner retired than later and there’s Stella Smucha Della from SBL.

Evelyn to a millennial is Eve+Lyn therefore pretty. To a boomer it’s that weird girl. Stella is Ella with an S so therefore pretty to millennial but to boomer … just why? It’s the Norman of girls names.
Hannah is cute but so over used in the early 90s.
Zelda is just try way too hard. And Zelda Fitzgerald famous crazy person.
Beatrice and Edith are UC names so there’s that. Despite Edith Bunker.
Daisy = ditsy or permanent pet name.

Names that have grown on me are plain, “boring” but classic American names. Like Mary or Thomas.

You’re an idiot. Daisy Buchanan ring a bell, fool? What about Driving Miss Daisy? Daisy Kenyon? Daisy Miller? Princess Daisy? Daisy Clover?

And the word “daisy” in French is Marguerite. It has nothing to do with pronunciation.
