Re: Full name for Daisy?
Possibly, but it's still a flower name. I don't see it being any different from Rose or Lily.

I do think it looks less serious than other flower names, the same way Lily looks less serious than Rose. It's not that it isn't a full name, but it's light and fluffy and ends with "ee".
(The D should make Daisy sound heavier, but it's still sort of young. Maybe because of the yellow. Lily is light but elegant, while Daisy seems more bright and youthful.)

Meh, we have doctors and lawyers with the names Poppy and Alfie (full names, not NNs) so I guess it's just a different naming culture.

I've never met anyone named Poppy. It charted for the first time in the US in 2016, so there are people in the US with this name. Alfie blipped into the top 1000 very briefly in the 60s before (thankfully) sinking away.
