I really like the name Meg but not Megan. What other names can be used to shorten to Meg? Can it be a standalone name?
I think it can stand alone! It’s pretty short but I don’t think it’s too informal to be a full name.
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Margaret[/name_f][name_f][/name_f] is the other obvious option to me. I also like [name_f]Megara[/name_f][name_f][/name_f]!
[name_f][/name_f]I think you could probably use any other [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] variation and call her [name_f]Meg[/name_f] – [name_f]Margarita[/name_f], [name_f]Margot[/name_f], [name_f]Margery[/name_f], [name_f]Margarethe[/name_f], etc.

some ideas (some are stretchy)
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Megara[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f]Meganna
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Margaret[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Maggie[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Nutmeg[/name_f] (guilty pleasure

[name_f][/name_f]Magalie/Megalie
I think [name_f]Meg[/name_f] can also be a standalone name but it does sound a little nicknamey and it’s nice to have a long form to fall back on. [name_m]You[/name_m] could also try doing a double barrel/first and middle name combo to get to [name_f]Meg[/name_f], ex. [name_f]Mellie[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f]

I also love [name_f]Meg[/name_f].
[name_f][/name_f]A formal name for [name_f]Meg[/name_f] is [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] or I would say any name related to [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] that begins with M and contains the letter G in it, such as [name_f]Marguerite[/name_f], [name_f]Margery[/name_f], [name_f]Margot[/name_f],
[name_f][/name_f]Another creative way might be with first names beginning with M & middle name beginning with G For example,Mary [name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f], [name_f]Mary[/name_f] [name_f]Gwyneth[/name_f], [name_f]Marie[/name_f] [name_f]Gabrielle[/name_f], [name_f]Mary[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f], [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f], [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f], [name_f]Meredith[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f], [name_f]Marielle[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f]

I think “just” [name_f]Meg[/name_f] could work (like [name_f]Bess[/name_f], [name_f]Tess[/name_f], [name_f]Nel[/name_f] / [name_f]Nell[/name_f], Lou) but I also like it as a nickname to [name_f]Merrigan[/name_f], [name_f]Morrigan[/name_f], and [name_f]Magdalen[/name_f]

I agree with @EagleEyes[name_f][/name_f] that [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] or [name_f]Margot[/name_f] might be the best / most straightforward option to get to [name_f]Meg[/name_f], although I prefer the nickname Maggie/Maggs.
[name_f][/name_f]I think you could use [name_f]Meg[/name_f] on its own, although they might have to deal with people always asking if its short for [name_f]Megan[/name_f].
