HelpRe: Lucinda or Margaret?
in reply to a message by Helena
I personally prefer Margaret.
May is a bit more appealing to me than Louie.
Louie is cute for very familiar address; as a regular short form though, because it's so often a masculine name, it seems too casual - almost disrespectful - to me for everyone to call Lucinda that. (Sort of like my great grandmother Frances Robertson being called Fanny by most people, and called Robbie only by the family.) FWIW, I would nickname a Lucinda: Lu, and a Margaret: Maggie.
