HelpRe: Leona or Liora
in reply to a message by vigdis
Too bad he doesn't like Liora.
Cecilia I like a lot, Judith and Margaret are nice but nms. Katarina is definitely more my style. I've always liked Katarina and Catalina ever since I first heard them.
It's too bad that your naming styles are so different. The one great thing about Margaret is there are a lot of nn's you could choose from. Mara and Mari are some of my favorites. I also like Greta. I know a Margaret who goes by Mags. There is also Meg, Marge, Margie, Gretel, Madge, May / Mae, Maggie, Mamie, Mayme, Midge, Peg, and Peggie / Peggy. There are probably even more than that.
People always say with nn's you can't choose which ones they use, but you can choose which one you give them. If you're not a fan of Margaret you could always call her by her nn and almost never Margaret. No matter what that would always be your name for her. Then your husband can always call her by Margaret or whatever nn he likes. Personally I feel that individual people should get to choose the nn they like for their kid and a couple can choose different nn's from each other and that's fine. You could probably even call her by her mn or a diminutive of her mn. Or use a nn that has nothing to do with either name. You could call her something like Moxy or Firefly or Kitten or Little Lark, etc... or call her by her initials. If you at least like Margaret and can think of a nn that you love then it's not so bad of a compromise.
