Daisy
This has been on my list for a long time. However I'm still not sure whether it's usable or not. I've met quite a few dogs (and other animals) with the name and all of my friends absolutely hate it. They say it's childish and immature and not a good name for a human being.I understand that it's a bit cutesy but it never bothered me. I don't think that Daisy is any worse than Lily, Gracie or Zoe. What do you think? Is it usable as a first name or is it too cutesy?Oh and please don't suggest Margaret nn Daisy as I absolutely do not want that. I have very bad associations with Margaret and dislike it in general. Marguerite is better but still not for me. I also dislike anything else it could be short for so it would be Daisy as a full name or not at all.The other thing is that I usually prefer long, feminine, in A ending girls names, my favorites being Estella, Aurora, Cecily, Adelaida, Elinor and Juliet and I wonder if a Daisy would feel weird between all those grown up, mature names.I love it so much but I don't want to settle my child with a super cutesy name that she will dislike when she is older so I need your advice. Oh and it has been used by Scott F Fitzgerald for The Great Gatsby and Benjamin Button, does anybody know why he named two of his characters Daisy? Just a bit curious.Also do you think it will rise in popularity? Maybe even get as common as Lily?Do you know any little Daisys? dogs or kids?
