Are those two statements related: you like Marguerite and you like Peggy as a nn? I'm not sure I see a connection.

Um, Peggy is a nickname for Marguerite, and I like it.

I have never really thought about what Peggy is a nnn for, but I certainly wouldn't have guessed it'd be for Marguerite. How does that work?

I like Marguerite for the same reasons as you. Not fond of Peggy as a nickname, though, I think Margot is better because it keeps the style but not the length of Marguerite.

I really like Marguerite. It is very elegant and feminine, but it has a spiciness to it. I can't really judge the nickname Peggy, though, since it's my Mom's name.

Of those combos I really like:
Marguerite Beata
Marguerite Finola
Marguerite Helen
Marguerite Mathilda
Marguerite Philippa - I think this is my favorite!
Marguerite Rosemary
Marguerite Shoshana
Marguerite Virginia

I have the combo Claire Marguerite, which I love.

Marguerite Estella
Marguerite Eulalie (prefer Marguerite Eulalia)

I like Marguerite Adele but I think Marguerite Adelaide had better flow. Marguerite Rosemonde, Marguerite Eustacia, and Celeste are nice, too.

I like Marguerite Adele

My ggg grandmothers name was Marguerite and my gg grandmothers name was Adele.

It is my youngest sister's name. I love it- it is so elegant and strong. We call her Daisy for short but Peggy is quite cute too.

You have some great combos there! My favourites are:

Marguerite Dinah
Marguerite Althea
Marguerite Solveig (love love love this!)
Marguerite Lucinda
Marguerite Osanna

How is Daisy short for Marguerite? Or Peggy for that matter? I'm confused.

- Aine (poetic_freedom)

Marguerite is the French word for 'daisy' so it has been used as a nn for it in English speaking countries over the years. Peggy is a traditional nn for Margaret and how it came about is a little confusing but my best guess is Margie -> Maggie -> Meggie -> Peggy

...or maybe Marg -> Mag -> Meg -> Peg -> Peggy
