[Opinions] Re: Margaret, Marguerite, and Margot
I really love Margaret and Margot. I think Margaret ekes out as the winner though.I really don't like Marguerite on the other hand. I don't like how it looks. I don't like how it sounds. I just don't like it.I don't think Margot needs a nickname, but Margaret might want one for at least occasional use. Mae is sweet, but I don't really get it as a nickname for Margaret. I sometimes like less intuitive or less standard nicknames myself though, so I could go with it. Maggie is cute up until about age 7. I feel like most girls would outgrow it by about then, although there are obviously exceptions. I could see myself using it as an "every so often" nickname. Mamie is definitely a no-go, in my opinion. It does bring to mind offensive depictions of Africans/African Americans/Blacks and racial slurs because it is so close to "mammy." Peggy is sooo homely to me. My favorite nickname, and the one I would use most often were I to name a child Margaret, is Meg. I would still use her full name a lot too though, because I really like it.-----------------------------------------
