Virginia is my choice. I like both of the other choices too, though.

Daisy!! I LOVE this name, as to me, it has a sweet and feminine sound which I love. It's just gorgeous!

I have the impression that Virginia ("Ginny" not "Virgie") is very classy. I guess because I only ever seem to see it on people who are, well, classy. Well-off, well-educated, well-groomed, well-mannered etc. But it's not pompous - it doesn't work at seeming classy. Daisy is nmsaa, spunkified/childish/trivial and reminds me of Daisy Buchanan. Olivia is nice, but comes off as a little chilly to me, and I'm not thrilled by its history. Virginia intimidates me a little, but I guess I'd pick it from those three since Ginny seems unpretentious.

Virginia! It reminds me of a cross between a charming Southern belle and a stalwart feminine go-getter.

Virginia... Olivia's overused and Daisy makes me think of livestock more than people... Virginia's nice enough and not overused at all these days.

Olivia, no contestDaisy is so cutesy, and I really dislike the "virgin" element of Virginia.

VirginiaI love it, it's #2 on our list. It's such a beautiful name. It's elegant and mature, but upbeat and bright. It's jewelly colors and has a gardeny, domestic feel. I'm very happy that my DH likes it too so I might be able to use it someday!

Olivia, because it's the prettiest and it ages well.

Daisy -- because Olivia is done to death and as nice as Virginia is, I see potential teasing with the 'virgin' bit. Daisy isn't ideal either since there's the perception by some of it being flaky or less sophisticated.

Oliviabecause Virginia just seems too open to teasing, and Daisy wouldn't age well.

OliviaI know it's super popular, but I think Olivia is such a pretty name. I would take Virginia next. I have a lot of respect for it but I don't particularly find it to be attractive. Daisy I just don't like. It strikes me as being empty and trendy and silly in a way that other flower names don't seem to.

VirginiaVirginia was my grandmother's name, and I think it has a more refined, grown-up look to it than Olivia or Daisy, which I prefer in a named. I also really like the nickname Ginny.

VirginiaDaisy seems ditzy, and Olivia has never appealed to me. So Virginia it is.

I like all three namesI would pick Daisy .It is a pretty name and it is not common name.

Daisy.Olivia is disgustingly trendy atm, and although it is a lovely name (the nn Livvy is super cute too), I am so bored by it these days. Virginia is another beautiful name, but the "Virgin-" part would not be helpful to any child, and I don't feel virginity is something to value. The nn Ginny is adorable though.Daisy is a nature name, and I love those. As with most nature names, I don't feel I'd actually use Daisy, but it's beautiful nonetheless. I think it is substantial... It feels spunky to me. To me, it's the name of a headstrong girl with pep and attitude.

DaisyI live Olivia, too. Virginia is okay. They're all different personalities. You know what I mean? So you've got to keep that in mind if you're naming a character in a book. Or even a real baby. I had a friend that settled on a name for her baby that she absolutely loved, but when the baby was born she decided that it didn't fit his personality and chose a different name. I don't know what kind of personality a baby has that is only a few hours old and hasn't really opened his eyes. She saw it, though.

Olivia, because I don't see Virginity as a virtue and Daisy is cute but a little dippy. Also I really love Olivia, even though it is super common and will be super dated.

VirginiaOlivia is pretty, but a little too frilly with it's L and V and four syllables. Also, it's trendy right now. Daisy is sweet, but I would only like it as a nickname for the more substantial name Margaret.Virginia is feminine, but not too frilly. It's more stable in terms of popularity. It has a lot more history, it can be a namesake for the Virgin Mary, and I like the nickname Ginny.

Daisy becayse it's the prettiest

I would choose Daisy.Olivia is too boring and common. Also I wouldn't use it because my brothers name is Oliver and it's too similar.Virginia is too open to teasing nicknames, and I also think it sounds too pretentious and posh. I like Ginny though.Daisy is a little bit childish sounding for me, but it's my favourite of the 3.

Virginia!It's home-y to me and quaint, and at the same time it's elegant and regal. Olivia is stale to me and Daisy's all right, but Virginia is a gold brick found in a mudhole.

I'd go with Virginia. It's dignified sounding, not too popular, and it lends itself to Ginny, which I like. While I really like Olivia, it's far too popular these days, and I already have a family member with that name.Daisy is a cute name, but it's too sweet and childlike for me. I think it's better as a nickname.

Virginia. It's sophisticated, elegant and I like the nn Ginny.Olivia is very common and Daisy is a bit flimsy and insubstantial, imo.

LOL I like the nickname Ginny too. I hadn't even thought of that until you said that.

Olivia, I've always loved it and it's a beautiful name.Daisy is just too cutesy for me and I've never really liked Virginia that much.

Daisy for me. It's a name I've liked for a long time, it's so fresh and wide-awake and makes me think of naughty 1920's girls.Daisy Virginia would actually be a nice combo!
