Hello...new here!

Hello,

I am currently ttc (through IVF), and I am having a hard time deciding between two names. I already have boys names picked out-- James Christopher and Jacob Thomas. If I have a daughter I love the nickname Maggie..but I want to name her Margret/Margaret. That is my problem. I don't know which one to choose from. "Margret" seems phonetically correct, which I like, but "Margaret" is more common, and looks "prettier."

I hope this doesn't sound silly but the name "Margaret" reminds me of a Margarita, and I think of a Spanish dancer with too much makeup, and bright coloured nails! The bad part is Margret looks more plain, and I know this is probably goofy, but when I go to places and look at the name keychains or the cups (from disney-seaworld) with names on them, you only see "Margaret."

So I guess my question is this....which name do you like better, "Margret" or "Margaret"

And also, do you pronounce the names any differently? I think when I say the names I pronounce the "ga" in Mar-ga-ret. Is that right?

Since there is a good possibility of twins (due to IVF) I'm also at a lost cause for another girl name. I was thinking I would stick with another "M" name, but something not too unusual since "margret/margaret" is more of a traditional name.

Any help is *greatly* appreciated!
