What is Daisy short for?
Daisy is often short for Margaret - the surprising link runs through French, where Margaret's flower is the marguerite, or daisy. It also stands on its own as a given name from the Victorian era on. When you meet a Daisy in 19th-century records, check whether she was baptized Margaret.
