I am not sure I can picture an adult named [name_f]Daisy[/name_f], but I do love the name! But then again I don’t see how it’s really different than a name like [name_f]Sally[/name_f], [name_f]Mary[/name_f], [name_f]Molly[/name_f], [name_f]Katy[/name_f], etc. they all have a similar sound! I am struggling with this same issue about another flower name- [name_f]Marigold[/name_f], so I’m interested to see what people think!
Thank you!
Yes I agree, making a list is all fun and games until there is an actual baby that has to wear that name for the rest of their life! And getting another person to agree and fall in love with your choice is even harder! We still have about 10 weeks until she is born but it is a tough decision to make.
I do like [name_f]Margaret[/name_f]! I am also a fan of the name [name_f]Maggie[/name_f] but yes I do think [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] [name_u]Marion[/name_u] is a bit of a mouthful especially with our long 3 syllable last name!
I love [name_f]Marigold[/name_f]! Especially with nn [name_f]Goldie[/name_f]!! It’s stunning!
My 22 year old little brother has a nature/tree name ([name_u]Linden[/name_u]) and I think it has aged with him well so I don’t see why [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] wouldn’t!
It’s definitely not common nowadays, but it does have a innocent, vintage charm that could work in the right situation depending on the last name.
What I’d recommend is to to try saying the name out loud every so often and see if it’s something you think would fit in in different situations. Maybe use [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] for restaurant reservations or at coffee shops and see if it feels natural when the name is called.
Also just as a thought, maybe watch some Downton [name_u]Abbey[/name_u] clips, they have a character named [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] who ages from her late teens to mid-twenties so it might be a good gauge to see how the name works as someone ages.
[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this help!
I love [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] as a name. What people often forget is that in the past all the babies named [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] eventually grew up. [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] even has her own song where her young man proposes to her.
I once knew an older lady whose name was [name_f]Dulcie[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f]. She hated it, but her mother must have liked it. [name_f]Dulcie[/name_f] would have preferred [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] as a name. If you BOTH love a name USE IT. Your [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] could use [name_u]Marion[/name_u] as an alternative if she wants to as an adult. I agree with other posters, [name_f]Lilly[/name_f], [name_f]Rosie[/name_f], [name_f]Goldie[/name_f], [name_f]Katie[/name_f] can also be seen as too cutsey. Other people’s opinions do not matter.

I love [name_f]Daisy[/name_f]. For sure it sounds adult enough. There’s adult Daisys, no?!
Yes, I am sure there are many adult Daisys! I however have never met anyone of any age named [name_f]Daisy[/name_f]! Where we live in the US it is not commonly used! I think it’s being used more so now than any time in the last 90-100 years!
Whatever name you give her let’s says [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] it will grow with her. If you love the name go for it. It is such a sweet name and it will be her name and it will be just as nice on her when she’s 20,40,80. The name grows with the person. I think [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] is super cute and I only know 1 person with this name l don’t think it’s a popular as you’d think.
If you love the name [name_f]Daisy[/name_f], and are truly concerned about the aging factor, I vote with use [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] as a nickname for something else. In my opinion [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] could be a sweet nickname for any D name.
[name_f]Daphne[/name_f] [name_u]Marion[/name_u]
[name_f]Dahlia[/name_f] [name_u]Marion[/name_u]
[name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] [name_u]Marion[/name_u]
[name_f]Delilah[/name_f] [name_u]Marion[/name_u]
[name_f]Deborah[/name_f] [name_u]Marion[/name_u]
…
[name_f]Daisy[/name_f] [name_u]Marion[/name_u] is quite lovely, and [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] has long been a favourite of mine. I know plenty of doctors, lawyers, judges with names such as [name_f]Sally[/name_f], [name_f]Poppy[/name_f], [name_f]Posie[/name_f]. So it certainly is fine.
However I am in 2 minds for this reason: I’ve been in the process of changing my first name, and the names I have considered and come back to are consistently ‘grown up’ sounding names eg [name_f]Julia[/name_f], [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f], [name_f]Johanna[/name_f]. This has made me pause as I’ve always said on these forums previously that names like [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] are fine for an adult - and I do believe they are - but I personally wouldn’t be comfortable with one, so I don’t know if that’s just me and only certain more serious sounding names work for me, or whether it’s something other adults generally think?
Another option is [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] nn [name_f]Daisy[/name_f]. I do tend to think though if [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] is always going to be written and used then there is not much point putting another name on the birth certificate. Only do the full/nickname thing if you will actually use both.
[name_f]Daisy[/name_f] [name_u]Ridley[/name_u] wears the name beautifully
[name_f]Daisy[/name_f] has been in the Top 100 steadily in the UK for the last twenty or thirty years, so naturally there is nothing unexpected about [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] on an adult over here. It’s less cutesy than [name_f]Poppy[/name_f] and [name_f]Posy[/name_f] to me: more in the same category as [name_f]Lily[/name_f] and [name_f]Rose[/name_f].
[name_f]Daisy[/name_f] is charming and very wearable, but if you do want a long form, the lovely [name_f]Marguerite[/name_f] is an option.
