Maggie MagnoliaI have no idea why they didn't name this child Magnolia Margrete or something like that and just call her Maggie. I feel like this is akin to naming someone Robbie Robert or Betty Bettina...

MaybeThey wanted to use Maggie as a first name but they still wanted her to have a full name to fall back on if she chose to do so? It's odd but I could understand it.

Yeah. That's an odd one. Happily, Maggie is cute and she can use Magnolia as her "formal" name if she really wants to.

That's weird. I love Maggie, but why Magnolia? It sounds "off".

I agree with you, it is a little weird. Magnolia Margrete would have been great!
