Name opinion - Daisy

[Anonymous]

What do you all think of the name Daisy? Simple last name (think Jackson), we both love it but I am a tiny bit concerned it won’t age well. Neither of us care for the name Margaret, but think Daisy would be a nice tribute to great grandma Margaret without using the name officially. Big brother is Jonah btw

Margaret nn Daisy is on my shortlist if we have another girl (also to honor a great grandma). I strongly prefer full given names particularly if the nickname leans toward twee (like, Kitty on a birth certificate would bug me much more than Kate), but that's a personal preference.

Cute for a 2 year old, but many (most?) adult women would probably hate having that as their name.

Love love love Margaret nn Daisy. I think you should go with the full name and call her by her nn.

I think its fine as a full name if you want that.

Very sweet. I like it. I think it would age just fine.

Does it pass the Supreme Court justice test?

I would only do it as a nickname that she can easily opt out of when she’s older.

I love it, it's perfect. People obsess too much about not giving girls very feminine names. Why? The trend is toward giving all children more masculine names. Why?

Anyway, this has been my choice for a second daughter for years. It's looking less and less like it will happen, so I hope you use it because the world could use a Daisy.

Some similar names I also love: June, Joy, Lila, Poppy, Penny

I think you're misreading the issue. It would be a very strange argument indeed that Daisy is *more feminine* than Margaret, for instance. They're both unequivocally feminine. But Daisy has a diminutive feel, like it is a pet name or nickname. Not everyone wants their kid to have no options other than "super cute" for their name.

I'd say the same thing to an OP suggesting naming a boy Timmy instead of Timothy. It's not about gender, it's about formality and options.

it's not an anti-feminine sentiment, it's juvenile as compared to what a grown woman may choose to go by. Margaret is not a masculine name, just one that gives a woman more choices than Daisy.

June, Joy, Lila, and Penelope are all great names.

I would do Margaret and call her Daisy.
