Could the contacts have been synced from your Google account? Perhaps when you deleted them on the old phone, they were deleted from the server and then synced with your new phone? I would suggest that you sign into your Google account and navigate to your contacts page and check to see if there is a trash can you could restore them from.
As for your old phone, you should factory reset the whole phone so it can be set up for your daughter's account instead of having remnants of your information on the phone.
I'm most definitely NOT a VZW employee. If a post answered your question, please mark it as the answer.
