I've always loved Daisy for its fresh appeal, and for one of my oldest friends, whose perents named her Desiree because they really, really wanted a daughter! When she went to playschool, her teacher was unfamiliar with the name and called her Daisy-Ray, which she accepted serenely. I would use it as an independent name rather than a nn for Margaret, Desiree or anything else ... and I would use it, given enough daughters, which one never is. Plus, it was Chaucer's favourite flower! That should tip all scales in its favour.
