I'm really having a love for Margaret and Marguerite

I have
Margaret Ilene
Margaret Rose (but i all ready have Lillian Rose)
&
Marguerite Constance

Both have the very cute potential of "Margie" or "Maggie" for shorts. I need some opinions...I'm not really thrilled with what I have.

I love Marguerite.

me too! thank you.

Perhaps Marguerite Constance is a bit long. What about using Ilene with it?

Marguerite Ilene has a nice ring to it.

i adore Margaret Constance
but Marguerite Ilene is beautiful

did you mean to switch them?

yes i did.

Would the nickname be "Marge-Gee" or "Mar-Gee". My aunt was born Margot, but goes by Margie "Mar-Gee".

I was thinking "Mar-Gee"

I'd go with Margaret Rose and use a different middle for Lillian (since Lillian Rose sounds like "lily and rose" and thus feels a bit too flowery).

Whoops, I thought she meant she already had the combo on her list!

no no, i all ready have the combo on my list...i don't have any children--yet.

My dad's sister's name is Marguerite Ann

I defiently prefer Margot to any of those. Margaret really seems very old lady to me, and not in a nice way. However, Maggie as the real name not nn is very cute.

The names you chose seem very old fashioned to me. I think I'd just go with Maggie as a first name. It's cute.

Margaret Esther
Margaret Eden
Margaret Ruth
Margaret Grace

I took most of those names (except I changed Edna to Eden) from the most popular girls names of the 1910s. Old fashioned is pretty!

Margaret Ruth! I love it

I always wanted to use Margaret Helena (being bookish), and call her Meg. But Hubby's girlfriend before me was psycho, and named Margaret, Maggie for short. So that's a no-go!

I like Margaret with Rose and Ilene.

i looooooove the name helena
