Since I know you won't sleep until you know the answer:-

‘Dog' refers to its lack of scent, as opposed to ‘sweet' violet. Dog, like horse, is a common English prefix for distinguishing an inferior species from its superior relative. https://www.plantlife.org.uk/uk/discover...let-common

Although, as Scarlet says, its not quite true for the Dog Rose https://www.plantlife.org.uk/uk/discover...s/dog-rose

As for the Dog Daisy/Oxeye daisy/ Horse Daisy and more
Before the 16th century it was more commonly known as the 'Moon Daisy' or 'Dog Daisy'. Also called Horse daisy, Moonpenny and Marguerite. References to the moon derive from the fact that this bright flower can seem to glow in the fields on midsummer evenings. https://www.plantlife.org.uk/uk/discover...xeye-daisy

Use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without.
