I also love Pearl.

Pearl as a nn for Margaret?
I've never heard that before. Interesting.

Comes from the meaning, much like Daisy came from Marguerite.

From your list, Daisy. Overall, Maisie.

Peggy!
I love all of the nns you list. But I have to vote for Peggy. It's my SIL's name and she's a dear. Plus, I like to root for the underdog and I've noticed Peggy usually gets the cold shoulder from most people.
If I really have to tell the truth, though, my secret wish is to say that Mairead is my favorite. But I think it's cheating to use a variant as a nn so I went with Peggy.

It's a toss up between Meg and Daisy.

Peg/Peggy & Daisy I have never understood as a nn for Margaret and I'm not a fan anyhow.

Greta
Although I don't mind Meg or Daisy, I prefer Greta. Maggie I absolutely loathe, and there's no real appeal to Marge or Madge to me.

Greta!
My niece is Margaret nn Greta. I love it, particularly since it's so uncommon!

Depends on the person
Some people are better Meg's than Peggy's and I wouldn't rule out nicknames if they suited her better.
Out of them all my favourites are Meg, Maggie and Peggy. The only one I really dislike is Madge. I also like Margaret as a full name along with nns Mar, Griet, Maisie and maybe even M.

Marge and margie are terrible, and I'm not fond of Peg/Peggy, Maggie or Madge. Meg has a good association with me, but I really like Greta and Daisy.
Where does Daisy come from out of Margaret?

I've always assumed that Daisy came to be a nn for Margaret because the French form of Margaret is Marguerite, and the French word for daisy is also marguerite. I don't have any documentation for this, but it seems unlikely to be a coincidence.

Aaack. I didn't realize that Maisie is a nickname for Margaret. I thought it was a name in its own right, and didn't know there was any connection. I also didn't think of Margo, because that seems like a separate name to me, though it's obvious its source is Margaret. I thought of Margo and Margaret as being like Nancy and Anne.

I like Meg the best. How about Maisie, May, or Margo?

I agree.

I really like Greta. Meg is nice as well but with all of those Megan's out there, it's much more popular in the US than Greta is.

My favourite is Daisy.

Meg or Maggie. Like Margery?
But I don't love any of the nn.
Margery is my favorite form of Margaret.
