Help[Opinions] Need help with a nickname, please!
I accidentally made a post in the "Name Facts" board instead of this one, so here I go again!
My name is Margaret and I'm going to begin university in the fall. I went by a childhood nickname my entire life & hated it, so I applied to my new school as Margaret, however I am still looking for nicknames that go well with it. The thing is, I absolutely HATE all nicknames that go with Margaret! Here is a list of common nicknames for this name:
Maggie / Maggy
Marge
Meg, Peg / Peggy
Madge
Absolutely terrible (sorry if someone has this name, it's just my opinion). I was looking at this web site and came across the name Margot. By definition it's the French, short form of Margaret and it's the prettiest name I've come across that's related to Margaret.
*** What do you think of the name Margot in general and as a nickname for Margaret? Also, if you know any other nicknames for Margaret, please let me know! ***
Thank you :)

I like Margot, Greta and Meg. How about Megan?

What about Meggie as a nickname for Margaret ??? .

Presumably...
The progression would be Margaret to Margherita to Daisy. Click on Margherita. I've made the same connection myself in one of my fantasy combos, Daisetta Marguerite.

It was via Marguerite, but otherwise yep :-)

I actually love Maggie, Meg, Maisie, and Daisy as nn's for Margaret (not sure if Daisy is a legit one...just heard it before as a nn for Margaret, as well as a name on its own). Margot (or Margo, which I prefer, because Margot makes me think of maggots :-/) would be a great idea, I think. Good luck.

I think both are pretty and classic. If you want other ideas, go to the following link to see all names related to Margaret.

I really like it. I think it's pretty.

i think Margaret is a pretty name, but if you don't i understand that.
Going to Margot would be pretty much akin to a whole name change, imo. They are very different in feel. But, if you like it, go for it. It may take some getting used to. i like the name Margot a lot, but i much prefer the Margaux spelling.
If you're really considering a big change, what about Greta? Still means Margaret. :)
