Greta!
Followed by Daisy and Meg.
I think Etta / Ettie could work too though

Daisy or Maggie
But Greta is pretty cute too.
Daisy has been my favourite the longest though. Just adorable.

How is it a nickname for Margaret?

Anneza is right, it's from the French term for a daisy, "marguerite".
A marguerite is a large and important-looking daisy! And the origin is Greek: pearl, pearly-white ... I think most people just use Daisy as a flower name, though I know a Desiree who is sometimes known as Daisy. But, in Little Women, Meg is known as Daisy to some of her silly, snobbish friends.
Peggy (It was my great-grandmother's name)
I adore Maggie, and I also really like Meg. Midge and Daisy are cute, too.
I always forget that those can even be nicknames for Margaret. Meg because Megan is very popular with girls my age so that is what I think of Meg being short for. Idk why I never think Margo. I think Margo is one of the few nicknames that can stand alone. My favorites are Maggie or Margie. Someone mentioned Greta, I like that too but again always forget it.
Meg, closely followed by May/Mae.
I seem to be in the minority, but I really dislike Maggie.

Meg/Megan, Greta or May (I really cannot choose a favourite out of them though). And I think Daisy or Pearl would be cute although kind of a stretch.
Maggie! I like Margot as a name on it's own.
Maisie.
Recently, Meggie.

Margo, Marga, Marg, Marge, Greta.
Meg. By miles. Although Maggie is acceptable on some level too, I think Meg is so much spunkier.
Hands down, Maggie. But I also think Maisie & Meg are cute.
Midge
it's just so cute
it's just so cute
Ditto. :-)
Greta, I guess. But I think Greta is fine as a stand-alone.
Maisie and Daisy :) .
Maggie probably, maybe Meg. I like Maisie but think of that more as a name in its own right.
Mine is Margo. It's so spunky and vivacious. I also really like May / Mae.
Greta
Margie,
I adore Maisie :)
Maggie. I like Daisy, but I'd probably rather use it as a full name. Margo is cute, too.
Maggie.
Maggie, or Margo.
Oh, and can I just say I don't understans why so many people on BtN seem to dislike Maggie? I think it's adorable.

Gretch/Gretchen is the one I plan to use currently (since we plan to use Margaret).
But I could see myself using Meg, Margo, or Mamie.

Mamie! Too cute.
Maggie, Maisie, Daisy, Greta, and Peggy-Sue are my favorites (in no particular order), but I prefer Margaret in it's entirety...
Madge
no one else seems to like Madge, but I think it's neat.
But. Margaret is only two syllables and I think I like it better nicknameless.

I love Madge too. It's very 1950's housewife-y. Fun.
I like Megan

But I also like Maisie, Meg, Daisy and Peggy.
I love how many different nn possibilities there are with Margaret.

I much prefer Margot as a name in it's own right, it's in my top ten. However, it's great as a nn too. I'm basically in agreement with you, Meg and Margot are my fav nn's for Margaret :)
