As most people here I'm sure know by now, it's been my favorite girl's name for over 10 years and we've been planning to use it for our first daughter since we got married. In short, I just love the jewelly sound of it, the red color, the history and super classic feel, that it's feminine but strong, that it feels domestic and intelligent, and that I can picture it on any sort of person.

I love it without a nickname, but we'd most likely use a nickname at least some of the time if we ever have a Margaret. My favorite nickname for it lately has been Margie, which I've always loved and think feels very fresh and upbeat, but I also really like Gretchen, Meg, and Mamie.

I know I have some combos I like, but I tend not to make Margaret combos since we plan to use it. I do like it best of all the variants, but I also really like Mererid and Mairead.
