First name for Marguerite

Girl Names

Hello Berries!

My DH and I are planning on starting a family soon so the name game has begun! We already have our boys names decided ([name]Archer[/name] and [name]Miles[/name]) however, we are at a loss with girls’ names. The MN will be [name]Marguerite[/name] after DH’s mother but I cannot find a fn that we both like. We have tossed around names like [name]Daphne[/name], [name]Eleanor[/name], [name]Juno[/name], [name]Lila[/name], [name]Tessa[/name], [name]Savannah[/name], the list goes on and on but nothing seems to spark our interest. We wouldn’t be opposed to using [name]Marguerite[/name] in the fn slot but would like for her to have a nickname since neither of us can picture calling a baby [name]Marguerite[/name].

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Could you picture calling a little girl [name]Margo[/name] or [name]Maggie[/name]? [name]Just[/name] a thought, because [name]Marguerite[/name] is gorgeous! :wink:

@bedhead - sometimes I think you read my mind, because this is about the fifth time I’ve gone to suggest some names that you’ve already replied with!

[name]Catherine[/name] [name]Marguerite[/name]
[name]Vera[/name] [name]Marguerite[/name]
[name]Helen[/name] [name]Marguerite[/name]
[name]Adeline[/name] [name]Marguerite[/name]
[name]Celia[/name] [name]Marguerite[/name]

My grandmother was [name]Marguerite[/name] but she went by ‘[name]Daisy[/name]’ for all her childhood, and as a nickname her whole life?

I love [name]Marguerite[/name], and I think you can get away with any of the [name]Margaret[/name] nicknames-- [name]Maggie[/name], [name]Meg[/name], [name]Maisie[/name], [name]Mae[/name], [name]Margo[/name], [name]Greta[/name], [name]Rita[/name], [name]Daisy[/name]. Otherwise, I adore the suggestions of [name]Adele[/name], [name]Alice[/name], [name]Louisa[/name], [name]Rose[/name], and [name]Lydia[/name] and what about:

[name]Sylvie[/name] [name]Marguerite[/name]
[name]Susanna[/name] [name]Marguerite[/name]
[name]Helena[/name] [name]Marguerite[/name]
[name]Phoebe[/name] [name]Marguerite[/name]
[name]Camille[/name] [name]Marguerite[/name]
[name]Iris[/name] [name]Marguerite[/name]
[name]Catherine[/name] [name]Marguerite[/name]
[name]Ivy[/name] [name]Marguerite[/name]
[name]Eloise[/name] [name]Marguerite[/name]
[name]Julia[/name] [name]Marguerite[/name]
[name]Eve[/name] [name]Marguerite[/name]

Thanks for all the suggestion! There are several that I love but DH is harder to please! I love:

[name]Alice[/name]
[name]Adele[/name]
[name]Calla[/name] ([name]Callie[/name]???)
[name]Adeline[/name] (long time favorite but DH hates)
[name]Celia[/name]
[name]Susannah[/name] (we wanted to us [name]Savannah[/name] but the popularity is a turn off for me)
[name]Eloise[/name]
[name]Eve[/name]
[name]Ivy[/name] (DH vetoed)
[name]Clara[/name] (DH thinks it is an “old lady” name)
[name]Rose[/name]
[name]Olive[/name] ([name]Love[/name] the nn [name]Ollie[/name])

Several others we can’t use because family members have dibs ([name]Lydia[/name], [name]Vera[/name], [name]Camille[/name], [name]Hazel[/name], and [name]Julia[/name]).

[name]Love[/name] the nn [name]Margo[/name] and [name]Greta[/name], DH mentioned [name]Greta[/name] before but I like it better as nn than a stand alone name. I’ll see what he says about [name]Margo[/name].

Thanks for all the input! Keep it coming!
