Love Daisy, it's a fave of mine. It was a contender for our DD, but it didn't suit her. I don't think it's too cutesy at all, it's a flower name after all, so I don't see how they can be too cutesy.

It sounds like a good name for an animal or cartoon character.

I think Daisy us sweet & lovely. Not too cutesy at all!
Some thoughts for middles with Daisy:
Daisy Josephine
Daisy Cecilia
Daisy Frances
Daisy Beatrix

I love it! Perky rather than cutesy, I would say. (My friend Desiree was called Daisy-Rae at her preschool because one helper thought that was her name. She didn't complain! And I still call her Daisy sometimes, which probably started my liking for the name.)

Daisy Anne Georgina pleases me but doesn't provide the best in initials. Daisy Georgina Helen, perhaps?

I like it - one of the better flower names, imo. I have known three people called Daisy and only one of them could be described as cute, and she's also a pretty fierce & feisty little person. The others were both strong, influential, feminist women who could not in any sense be described as airheaded.

I suppose any -ee-type ending name sounds cutesy to some extent, because it's a common diminutive ending. But as flowers go, daisies are fairly tough and sturdy. They thrive almost anywhere, and you can sit on them and squash them flat and they bounce back up again. Not a delicate flower.

Way too cutesy. My grandmother was Dasie and it never bothered me on her. She had a very sweet and bright personality and it suited her, but when I think about using it in reality it just seems impossibly young. Incapable of growing up. I feel the same way about Lucy.

Love it!

It used to be one of my favorites. I can't really say why I don't like it so much anymore. I guess after a while I thought it sounded too light headed or insubstantial. I think it is perfectly fine as a full name, it's a flower name, but I find it more childlike than Lily or Ivy or other similar names.

I adore Daisy. It's sunny, it's happy and it makes me smile. I even saw a little girl the other day named Daisy. She had really blonde hair and actually looked like someone named Daisy. Would I ever use it? Possibly but only as a nn for Marguerite because I, like you, would fear people would think of it as too cutesy.

It's extremely cutesy imo. I can't picture it seriously on a grown woman. Also it makes me think of Daisy from the Great Gatsby, and that's not exactly a good association.

I've said in the past that I like it, but at the moment it's striking me as too cutesy and perhaps too hard to take seriously on a grown woman. For that reason, I'd advocate for Margaret or Marguerite nn Daisy, so she'd have options.

No more cutesy than Lily and far fresher.

I like Daisy a lot.

I have a dachshund names Daisy.

Too cutesy for me. It's a fun nickname though

I'm goin to say it's cute, but a bit too cute. Like a little girl in a big flowered hat, or a very fast and destructive yellow kitten, or a rosy-cheeked country girl in shorts too short and tight.
It's not really that bad, just a bit trying too hard.
