Re: Mary vs. Margaret
in reply to a message by Violet89
To be honest, I like them both very much!
That said, I’d go with Mary. I have it on my PNL, actually.
I like Margaret but I don’t really like any of its nicknames, and I feel a nickname would be inevitable for Margaret. Mary doesn’t have any obvious nicknames, nor does it need one and it’s a lovely name with dozens of great namesakes. It doesn’t sound hopelessly boring or uptight to me like it may to some others. I think it’d be extremely refreshing to meet a little Mary today.
