Re: Nicknames for Marigold
Congrats! :)Em, Maggie, Maisie and Mae don't make any sense at all as nicknames for Marigold, in my opinion. Where do you even get Em from? Just from the first letter M? Super confusing and unnecessary, in my opinion. And why shorten a beautiful name like Marigold with Em? Maggie is a typical nickname for Margaret or maybe Magnolia but doesn't work with Marigold, in my opinion. Same with Maisie. Mae is better on its own. Sorry, I dislike far fetched nicknames, one of my pet peeves. Nicknames like Maisie were invented at a time when only a handful of given names were in heavy use. With four Margarets or eight Marys in a family you had to make up far fetched nicknames like Maisie, Mamie etc. But now it is unnecessary, in my opinion, and confusing. In my opinion, the ones that work for Marigold are Mari and Goldie. I wouldn't use any other ones. I think the full name is much nicer! It's a great choice! :)
