I love the name Magnolia, I much prefer it to Magdalen, Magdalena, Margaret, and other names that you could use Maggie as a nn. So many Magnolia trees grow in Seattle which is where I grew up. We even have a neighborhood called Magnolia and it is a very nice neighborhood with beautiful houses, most of the people who live there are affluent or at least fairly well off though most people in Seattle who own a home seem to be well off. So I always think of the flowers but also of the neighborhood.

I love Maggie, I also love Mags, Nola, and Nollie / Noli. Ollie / Oli, Lia, and Mia are also pretty good but I prefer Mags, Maggie, Nola, and Noli / Nollie.

I love Magnolia, it sounds dignified and stern but also carefree and a bit frilly. I feel that it will age well. Plus it has a lot of great nn's. I also love that it is a plant name and that it is so unusual but familiar enough that very few people will be unfamiliar with it. Plus she can go by Mags or Maggie if she dislikes how unusual and floral her name is. So yeah I love Magnolia and I encourage you to use it someday. :)
