Daisy's Notebook puts her name front and center, written in flowing script across a soft watercolor apple blossom design.
Daisy comes from the English word for the white flower, says Behind the Name, from the Old English dægeseage, “day’s eye”. It was first used as a given name in the 19th century, along with many other flower names. Wikipedia adds that Daisy is also a traditional nickname for Margaret, because Marguerite, the French form of Margaret, is the French name for the oxeye daisy.
Daisy is itself a nickname for Margaret, says Wikipedia. Behind the Name lists Deise in Brazilian Portuguese and Deisy and Deysi in Latin American Spanish as forms of the name.
Daisy Ridley played Rey in the Star Wars sequel trilogy from 2015 to 2019. Daisy Edgar-Jones earned BAFTA and Golden Globe nominations for Normal People and starred in Where the Crawdads Sing and Twisters. And Daisy Duck, created by Carl Barks, first appeared in the 1940 short Mr. Duck Steps Out as Donald’s girlfriend.
Daisy has had two peaks. US Social Security data has it at 60th in the 1880s and 90th in the 1900s, and back in the top 200 since the 1990s, at 147th in the 2000s, when nearly 23,000 American girls were named Daisy. It is even more popular in Britain: Behind the Name shows it 18th in England and Wales in 2025.
Daisy Dukes are named after a Daisy. Wikipedia says the character Daisy Duke on The Dukes of Hazzard wore such short denim cut-offs that they are still called Daisy Dukes. Behind the Name adds that the show gave the name a small boost in 1979.
Any Daisy, of any age. The 6" x 9" size is roomy enough for proper writing and small enough for a handbag or school bag. With 160 plain lined pages there’s no fixed layout, so it can be a diary, a gratitude journal, a study notebook, a recipe book or a home for to-do lists. Notebooks tend to multiply in drawers, but one with her name on the front is instantly hers.
There’s something about seeing your own name in print. It makes a notebook feel like it belongs to you, which is a good reason to fill it. It also means Daisy can pick hers out of a pile in a second, at school, at work or on the kitchen counter.
How big is Daisy’s Notebook? About the size of a trade paperback book: 6 x 9 inches (15.2 x 22.9 cm), 160 lined pages.
