I guess the name was popular then. I had both a great-grandmother and a great-aunt named Daisy Jane who were born around that time. The ggm had one sister named Cora and the ga had several siblings. The brothers all had formal names while the one sister was named Sallie. No rhyme or reason there. I will say that I grew up in the South and while I was given a nn at birth, I knew many people who believed in formal family names but called their children by a nn. Some of the nns didn't seem to be tied to the formal fns at all. The further north I moved, the less I saw that.
