Margaret is a family name on my dad's side. It is my grandmother's fn and my great-grandmother's fn. My grandmother goes by Marge, which I think is terribly boring and old-ladyish. Lately I've been thinking about Margaret nn Margie, because I associate Margie with one of my favorite books, The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys by Chris Fuhrman. I don't really like Margaret, but I do like the nn Margie. Even so, I'd like to use Margaret to honor my great-grandmother. Wdyt? Is Margie old-ladyish or boring? What interesting mns could I use to spice up the fn Margaret?

Edit: I'm not a big fan of the name Maggie. I guess I should've said that earlier.
