babynamesWhat do you think of the name Margaret, nickname Maggie?
It's my name and I've never really cared for it. I much prefer the foreign variations, like Margarita or Marguerite. I feel like they flow better. Margaret has just always sounded ugly to my ears, but maybe that's because I endured so many years of "ewww! You have an OLD LADY NAME!"
I'm not a huge fan of Maggie either, but I like it better than the other nicknames for Margaret [i.e. Marge, Madge, Meg, Peggy, etc.]
Thoughts?

Date: 2009-01-20 12:41 pm (UTC)I'm not a huge fan of Maggie, but it's better than Peggy and some of the others. My favourite nickname for Margaret is Meg, which I really like. Also, I had a friend when I was little who I called Margie (MAR-gee, not MAR-jee), and I liked that, although I think she goes by Maggie now.
