Is Daisy short for anything?
Not always. From the Victorian era on, plenty of girls were christened Daisy, full stop. But in older records it is a pet form of Margaret - the French for the daisy flower is marguerite - so a nineteenth-century Daisy may well be a Margaret at her baptism. Check the family's church records before you pick one.
