Peggy nn Margaret, Elizabeth nn Lily etc were thought of at a time when there were usually several girls with the same name in a family. There wasn't such a huge variety in names and it was normal to have 5 Marys in the family. As they had to differentiate them somehow nicknames such as Molly and Mamie were thought of. At least that's what I read. To each their own it's just not for me.
