'Daisy' is so much more than just a popular girls' name.
Silver Daisy Jewellery by Paul Wright (Designer)
I recently received an email from one of our customers complimenting us on our popular range of silver daisy jewellery. Here's what she said:
"I want you to know how much I enjoy wearing my Daisy jewellery. The first 'daisy' in my collection was received as a gift. I have since added to the collection and now I have several daisy pieces in the range. As my name is 'Daisy' I am particularly thrilled to have jewellery with a 'Daisy' theme. I am always asked where I found them and I receive compliments whenever I wear them."

We receive a disproportionate number of orders from customers with the name Daisy or we are asked to post gift wrapped orders directly to recipients, with our daisy gifts, who are named 'Daisy'. Daisy is clearly a popular girl's name and I am reliably informed that many babies are being named Daisy these days. I am sure that can only help make our unusual silver and gold daisy jewellery that much more appealing as it is obviously a great gift for any girl called Daisy!
What do we know about the name Daisy? According to Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, Daisy is "more commonly known as Despina, in Greek. It is also known as Marguerite in French, or Margarida in Portuguese. Daisy may refer to a flower of the family Asteraceae, especially the common daisy Bellis perennis".
Daisy has also been used as the names of towns. There are three I can find in the world and they are all in the United States. There is a town called Daisy in Arkansas, a Daisy in Georgia and a Daisy in Oklahoma.
Wikipedia also identifies several films that have been made with the name 'Daisy'. There was a Korean urban melodrama made in 2006 called 'Daisy'. In 1998 there was a Malaysian musical romance filmed called 'Daisy' and before that in 1966 a Czech film production company shot a movie called 'Daisies'. Daisy Bell was sung by HAL 9000 in the Kubrick 2001 film: A Space Odyssey and finally Daisy Wertham was the lead character in the film 'Driving Miss Daisy'.
If we extend the list to include television and cartoons the following may also be included:
A Walt Disney cartoon character called Daisy Duck
There is Daisy in 'Keeping Up Appearances'
A character on the TV series
Californication is called Daisy
Daisy Adair - a character on the TV series 'Dead Like Me'
Daisy Duke - a character on the TV series 'The Dukes of Hazzard' and the movie
Daisy Mayhem - a character in the TV cartoon series 'Laff-A-Lympics'
Daisy - a character on the TV series 'Pokemon'
A meerkat on the TV series Meerkat Manor is called Daisy
An orangutan on the TV series Orangutan Island is called Daisy
A train in the TV series 'Thomas and Friends' is called Daisy
I also found that there are many examples where music has connections with the name Daisy too. For example the musician 'Daisy' was a member of 'Foxy Shazam'. There is a song called "Daisy Bell" which I'm sure you all remember. It starts with "Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer, do ..." . Then there is "Daisy" - a single by 'Halfway to Hazard'.
Did you know that D.A.I.S.Y. is an acronym for "Da Inner Sound, Y'all", coined on the De LA Soul album 3 Feet High and Rising? There is also a song called "Daisy" written by Brotherhood of Man from the album Oh Boy!
Yes 'Daisy' is a popular girl's name but did you also know it is also the name of a cocktail drink? Then there is the fashion designer Rudolph Moshammer's pet dog called Daisy. There are the 'Daisy' Girl Scouts there is a digital talking book called 'Daisy' and the Apache computer software programme called 'Daisy'. There is a geyser in the Yellowstone National Park called the 'Daisy Geyser', a guitar manufacturer called 'Daisy Rock Guitars' and, apparently, even a sour cream called 'Daisy'!

And finally if you are choosing a name for your baby remember the words of our famous Bard:
"What's in a name? That which we call a rose (or a daisy)
By any other name would smell as sweet."
William Shakespeare
