Random Baby Name Chatter

What do we think of the name

Margaret?

I personally don't love it.
It's a huge family name on both my side and DH's side.

But I love/adore/swoon over the nickname Maggie.

Re: Random Baby Name Chatter

  • Eh... not a fan. My step-grandmother was Margaret and went by Peggy. Much prefer Maggie as a nn, but not really into either.
  • My cousin named her LO Margaret with the nn Maggie. When I first saw they named her Margaret, I was 'meh' about it. Then when I learned they would be calling her Maggie, I fell in love.
  • I've loved that name for a while, but its been roundly vetoed by DH.  Even if I say I would call her Maggie.  Le sigh.

  • I actually like Margaret.  I think Maggie and Maisie are both adorable nn's.

    It was DH's grandmother's name who recently passed away.  I would consider using it but SIL has "claimed" the name (yep, that's SIL who doesn't want kids... and claims that heads will roll if anyone uses the name-- me or any of the cousins.  EYEROLL.)

  • I really like Maggie, but I don't really like Margaret.

    Totally this! I have even thought of just using Maggie, without a formal name.

  • How about Marge? ;-)

    I LOVE the NN Maggie. And, I'm kind of likin' Margaret too.

  • My real name is Margaret. Megan is a nn for it. It is a family name and if my grandmother who I am named after wasn't a royal *** and wrote me off, I would pass down the name with the nn Maggie.  :)

  • I hate the nn Maggie, but that's only because I have a personal reason to. I've known 3 and they were all spoiled brats, lol.
  • I really like both Margaret & Maggie, especially Maggie as a nickname :)
