Re: Margaret Nicknames
in reply to a message by Llewella
I've been really into Greta lately, I think it is fab. Spunky, unexpected, approachable, intuitive to the full name, and it will age well as it sounds sweet on a small child but not immature on an adult.
I think Madge and Midge are terribly unattractive.
Mae is cute but I see it as a name in its own right rather than a nickname. Ditto Margo.
I'm not Meg's biggest fan but I know a couple IRL and it works well IMO. It ages well and is very friendly. I know a 20 year old Meggie and I think it sounds ridiculous. Possibly could be confusing at family gatherings having a Peggy and Meggie around?
Maisie is adorable. If it isn't going to be an all the time nickname, I think it is a lovely option.
I like Mamie prn mam-EE but may-mee reminds me of 'maim'
Greta or Maisie would be my picks.
