Help[Opinions] Re: Daisy
in reply to a message by Lily8
1. At first, Daisy appears a little nicknamey, but when you think about it for a while I think it becomes more obvious as a name in its own right. To me, think it sounds quite immature and quite sweet, possibly because the daisy is such a small, cute flower.
2. I might use Daisy as a nickname for Margaret - but that's just me. I'm quite unusual like that. (xD) Others might find it a little odd, but that's probably because they don't know or don't particularly like the Daisy/Margaret associations. Personally, I prefer Margaret as a name in its own right.
3. I don't know anyone called Daisy per se , but in a shoe store on Friday there was a horribly cheap-looking little girl, with brassy orange hair, dirty, chavvy clothing and gold earrings. She acted like a total spoilt brat the whole time - and as they were leaving, I heard her mommy call her Daisy . I was horrified. I've always pictured a Daisy as blonde and sweet - the type of child who wears white dresses and plays with china dolls, before she skips off to do her sewing in the garden. But that's just me.
4. I don't like any alternative spellings of Daisy. My whole life has been PLAGUED with misspellings - people repeatedly spell my name (Sophannagh) as "Sophanna" or "Sofannah", etc., and my nickname Sophy is almost always written down as Sophie. Grr .
5. I like Daisy Evangeline best. I also like Daisy Victoria, Daisy Jennifer and Daisy Harriet, all of which sort of fit the classic theme you were going for. If you want to use Elsa, Daisy Elsa Mei is beautiful - or what about Daisy Elspeth, or Daisy Elsia? (Ell-SEE-ah)
6. As I've stated above, I've always thought of a Daisy as a sweet, demure, clean, kind person. It does sound a little youthful to me, but not unprofessional - I think a Daisy would be very trustworthy and hardworking. But if you're worried about that, why not call her Margaret and use the nickname Daisy, as you've already suggested?
Hope I helped!
