HelpRe: Honey
in reply to a message by queenv
It's almost pathetically rustic, and that somehow makes it less annoying to me than Daisy.
It's like Precious or Caramia - a show of sentimentality on the part of her parents. The name being an endearment, is so necessarily deliberate that it has to be innocent (or benignly ignorant if you prefer).
I think it can be pulled off without seeming too childlike, but it'd never seem sophisticated ... when you have to address her as "Honey" eventually you forget that it's an endearment, but not quickly enough.
I think Precious is a better name than Honey.
Ranking best to worst (order I'd put them in, if one had to be my own name):
Daisy
Precious
Posy
Honey
Ranking according to how well I'd personally endure calling people them:
Precious
Honey / Daisy (tied)
Posy
