[Opinions] Re: Margaret or Marguerite?
in reply to a message by carmags
When I think of Marguerite, I think of the stepsister in Ever After. ALthough she isn't that nice of a character, I do now think that the name is pretty. It's not quite Margarita, which would earn a kid a few alchohol-related jokes, but it does sounds upper-class to my ear--as if Marguerite should be having tea with Georgiana, Artemis, Clementine and Jane. Maggie is a now-cute nn that works with both, but Margaret does have the benefit of the nn Greta. If one chose Marguerite, I would only wish that they wouldn't use the nn Rita, which doesn't really do anything for me. Both are pretty names.
