Margaret itself has always seemed dowdy to me, but I do like the nickname Meg. That's the only nickname for Margaret that I like. The rest--Marge, Margie, Peggy, Maggie, are all yuk. I don't believe in giving nicknames as full names, and would never put Meg on a birth certificate, yet I would never give a full name I didn't like just to get to the nickname, either. Therefore, I would never name a daughter Margaret.
