Stellar Margaret Nicknames

Girl Names
1

I’ve been contemplating [name]Margaret[/name] a lot lately. We’re expecting #3 and our favorite name for a girl is [name]Josephine[/name]. However, [name]Margaret[/name] ([name]Peggy[/name]) is a meaningful family name, so I want to give it serious consideration.
I don’t absolutely adore [name]Margaret[/name] on its own, but I like it well enough. And, there are a couple nicknames I’m more than fond of, I just haven’t found one that I’m crazy about yet.

  • [name]Greta[/name]: my favorite so far; it sounds kind of harsh though.
  • [name]Pearl[/name]: love, but it’s not very intuitive, and many people won’t know the meaning, and thus won’t get it.
  • [name]Meg[/name]: really like, but I feel like it’s a name that doesn’t suit every personality. Perhaps it’s one to grow into.
  • [name]Maggie[/name]: sweet, but kind of country-hokey sounding to me.
  • [name]Maisie[/name]: I want to like this, but I don’t.
  • [name]Mae[/name]: again, sweet but too country.
  • [name]Daisy[/name]: like a lot, but it’s not intuitive. I think I like [name]Pearl[/name] more.
  • Magpie: this intrigues me, but it’s a personality thing again. Maybe if she’s vivacious and chatty? It seems like more of a pet name.
  • [name]Margo[/name]: don’t really like
  • [name]Molly[/name]: not intuitive enough and a sibling has dibs on it.

I know there are a lot more, but the ones I’ve seen I don’t care for.

Does anyone have some unique, intuitive [name]Margaret[/name] nickname? For example, I heard of a tomboy [name]Margaret[/name] who went by [name]Rhett[/name]/Rett. I really like that, but think she’d have to grow into it. But nicknames along those lines- not a stretch from [name]Margaret[/name] but something fresh and unexpected.

Thanks so much!

My favourite nn for [name]Margaret[/name] is [name]Madge[/name]/[name]Madgie[/name] although I like [name]Mae[/name] and [name]Greta[/name] as well. [name]Lovely[/name] name Magaret as well.

You’ve pretty much covered it I think…

[name]Mamie[/name] ([name]Meryl[/name] Streep named her daughter [name]Mamie[/name]… I find it kinda odd, but it has flapperish appeal)
M ("[name]Em[/name]")
[name]Margie[/name] (as in [name]Marge[/name])
maybe [name]Garnet[/name]?
[name]Marty[/name]?
I personally think [name]Greta[/name] is wonderful.

A good friend of mine plans to use [name]Margaret[/name] nn [name]Marley[/name]. I love [name]Daisy[/name], [name]Pearl[/name], [name]Margo/name, and the occasional [name]Maggie[/name].
