Re: Meg
in reply to a message by Millie
I like Meg. It's the only nickname for Margaret that I do like. But while I like Meg a lot, I'm lukewarm on Margaret. That's the reason I'd never have a Margaret nn Meg. I hate nicknames used as full name but I also wouldn't use a full name I didn't love to get to a nickname that I love or like. So the question is, how do you feel about Margaret? If you don't love it, I'd give up on the idea.

Well Margaret is one of my sister's middle names, it has really lose family connections, but I do like it. I agree about using a name that you don't like to get a nickname that you like, my mum was faced with this decision with both of us and in the end she just used the nicknames as full names - its not to everyone's taste but its what she decided to do.
