Subject: Can Daisy be taken seriously?
I love the name. Reminds me of a student I knew a few years ago who was just delightful.
I know several adult women with cutesy names but they are taken seriously because they are serious and professional when needed and expect people to treat them seriously.
If you decide to name your daughter Daisy, or any other name, teach her to expect to be taken seriously.

My daughters name is Daisy 
she’s sweet, happy, and the most social baby! Everyone loves her name and comments on how well it suits her! We have a common last name (think: Jackson), and her middle name is my mothers name.

I have a good friend who went by Daisy up until maybe age 25 and then switched to her full name professionally. She was a very youthful looking and petite young adult who entered an industry dominated by big macho dudes and felt like she wasn’t being taken seriously. Daisy fit her a little too perfectly! Katie is much more common and seems less cutesy, I would give Daisy a formal name in case she wants to switch as an adult.

There are lots of people who name their animals human names. I know a dog named Michael and Conor. Would you not use those names because of that? Of course not! Now is op wanted to name her kid Buttercup I would say that is a name that you can't take seriously

So now Annie, Annabelle, and Rosie are off the table too?
Y'all are so sad sometimes. No one is going to think about a cow or compare your child to a cow if you give her the name Daisy. They will think of the flower! Duh.

I disagree with the other posters. I think if adult women can be called "Katie" than Daisy is fine. Much better than Margaret...yike
But Katie made a choice - she had another name to go by if she preferred. It’s boxing Daisy in to a cutesy name that is objectionable.
Sure, but the question wasn't that. The question was will Daisy be taken seriously and if women choose Katie and are taken seriously than Daisy can too. Btw, Op could give her a middle name like Elizabeth and she could go by that too. Or make up her own.

Plus it will be a memorable name that people have positive associations with (daisies are pretty, cheerful, a little wild, but never harmful or unpleasant). And if YOU like it, you will enjoy saying it several trillion times in the course of her life.
Don't listen to these judgmental PPs. Yes, there are absolutely people who will judge you for giving your DD what they consider to be a "cutesy" name. But here are the other things people will 100% judge a baby name for being: too common, too different, too hard to pronounce, to easy to shorten, too hard to shorten, too short, too trendy, too "try hard", too feminine, not feminine enough, too French, too similar to their least favorite aunt's name. And that's just a taste.
Do not skip a baby name you love because some anonymous person on the internet told you it was too hard for them to imagine a Dr. Daisy, or a Daisy PhD, or a Judge Daisy, or a Daisy CEO. It's not.
Oh, and also it's a top 50 name in the UK. I wonder how many Daisies have Oxford degrees? But I guess they're all silly, too?
To be clear, I'm saying yes, Daisy can be taken seriously (the question in your thread title), not that it's too juvenile (the question in your OP). Daisy absolutely can be taken seriously.
I agree pp! Well said. Daisy Ridley comes to mind!

Personally it sounds juvenile and cutesy to me. I don’t understand the daisy name trend at all.
