I posted about this name some time ago but I have some more questions and wonder whether people's opinions on it have changed. I also need some opinions on middle names and suggestions.
1. My first question is, do you think it's too nickname-ish ? Many people have told me so yet I don't understand it. It is a flower, after all. Nobody ever told me that
Lily was nickname-ish and it's just as cute and ends in an -ee sound.
2. What do you think about using it as a nickname for
Margaret or
Marguerite ? Just wondering because I don't think I could do that. I know it has been done in the past, in literature etc but I don't get it. How do you get
Daisy out of
Margaret ? I don't even get
Maggie out of
Margaret. I mean no sound that appears in the name
Daisy appears in the name
Margaret. It seems so weird. Like using
Peggy for
Margaret which I never understood either. Or Chuckie for
Charles. I know
Margaret is associated with the daisy flower but it seems weird to me. I only use nicknames that you can get directly from the name such as
Lily for
Lilian or something.
3. do you know anyone named
Daisy ? how old are they ? i was suprised to see it so high on the list in 1996 but it has gone back in popularity since then. It even lost almost 20 places compared to last year. Seems like on of the names that don't get popular even thought you expect them to.
4. do you like any alternate spellings ? i kind of like Daisie but
Daisy is still my favorite.
5. i need some middle names for it. I would like a long classic middle name. I thought of
Daisy Charlotte,
Daisy Emmeline,
Daisy Constance and
Daisy Evangeline but they all don't seem right. I would like to use
Elsa as a honoring name but
Daisy Elsa seems to short. Do you know a longer form of
Elsa that would work ? not Elisabeth/Elizabeth, please. I also like
Daisy Mei and have thought of
Daisy Elsa Mei.
6. What kind of person do you think of when you hear the name
Daisy ? does it sound unprofessional ?
