Re: Marguerite?
in reply to a message by Mildred
I don't hate Marguerite, but I definitely don't love it. It seems pretentious and I would feel like the girl would be catty and mean. Daisy really doesn't seem to fit as a NN, although I definitely prefer it to something like Margie.
Nino reminds me of vino. Definitely use it as a nickname! That's why they're called nicknames... they're used as a short form of a more formal name that tends to carry a bit more heft.

Thanks for your suggestions! I love Marguerite Ottoline and Marguerite Antonia. Marguerite means Daisy in French, and that's where we got the idea from. I now realize Marguerite may seem a bit pretentious without the backstory. My husband is from France, and is insisting that we use a French name this time around. He suggested Nino, which is a common first name on its own in his country, though I would like it as a nickname. I like Nino Renato and Nino Charles from your list.
