The narrator’s cousin Daisy Buchanan is named Daisy.
Daisy is a central character in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s 1925 novel The Great Gatsby. Her full name is Daisy Fay Buchanan, and she is Nick Carraway’s second cousin once removed. Nick’s family connection to Daisy helps bring him into the Buchanans’ social world and gives him access to the events he recounts.
Daisy is a wealthy socialite from Louisville, Kentucky. She is married to Tom Buchanan and lives with him in East Egg, the novel’s fictional Long Island enclave associated with inherited wealth. Before her marriage, she had a romantic relationship with Jay Gatsby, whose attempt to recover their past drives much of the plot.
A frequent mistake is choosing Jordan, Myrtle, or Catherine because all three women are important to the story. Jordan Baker is Daisy’s friend, Myrtle Wilson is Tom’s lover, and Catherine is Myrtle’s sister. None is Nick’s cousin or Daisy’s first name.
