Which nn do you prefer for Margaret, Macy or Maggie?

Personally, I think I like Macy better.

Maggie. Macy is blah and I don't see it working for Margaret, whereas Maggie is classic.

I'm all for untraditional nicknames, but I really don't see the connection between Macy and Margaret outside of the opening two letters. Then again Maisy and Daisy are accepted nns for Margaret, so why not?

I still prefer Maggie, though (I acknowledge a bit of a bias: my sister is a Maggie Margaret). Macy is too closely associated with the department store and the parade it sponsors.

But my favourite nickname for Margaret is definitely Margo/Margot/Margaux. Meg is sweet and spry, Greta is deliciously foreign, and Daisy just plain adorable, but Margo is perfect.

Maggie. One of my middle names is Margaret. I don't like Maggie or Macy but if I had to pick, I'd pick Maggie hehe.

I dislike both, but I hate Macy. It sounds so stuck-up, to me.
I don't even relate it all that much to Margaret, actually.

I prefer Meg or Marge, or other nn's.

I know too many Maggies that I hate with a passion, and I will never be able to hear that name without thinking about them, so I would have too pick Macy, by default.

I would say Maggie if I didn't know a girl who ruined the name for me. I like Macy, but I've never heard that as a nickname for Margaret before.

I think Maggie is a very sweet, friendly nickname for Margaret. I much prefer it over Mazy.

Maggie, but I hate Margaret. I like Magnolia better.
