HelpThank you :-)
in reply to a message by Llewella
I'm glad I've found such a fan of Margaret! So many people seem to find it dated or dowdy but I see it as a beautiful classic. I like Maggie as well (in fact I kinda love it) but I've always found it too childish to use as a full time nn (all the nns that I'd use are pretty much for every day use - full names are only for when they're in trouble :P) Meg is lovely though. I'll have to consider that. Oh, and Daisy comes from the fact that Marguerite is the French for daisy.
Unfortunately my grandmother is no writer. She's not the most intelligent of people (very opinionated but exceptionally uneducated). It would be pretty amazing if she was a writer. You don't mean Margaret Atwood do you? It would be beyond awesome if she was my gran - I'm studying one of her novels for my dissertation right now.
As I mentioned to Joan-ay, I can't believe I didn't mention the name Libby. My sister has always gone by Libby (her full name is Sarah Elizabeth Liberty) but I often forget it. Lily would probably be my favourite but Libby's favourite name has always been Lillian so I've agreed to leave that for her.
I've thought of Elizabeth Alexandra as well but I'm leaning towards Eleanor Alexandria instead.
Benjamin and Margaret will be such a beautiful sibset! You have fantastic taste :-)

Thanks!
Here's to hoping that we'll have a daughter at some point and not just a bunch of crazy boys. :)
I think Maggie is a bit childish too, but she'd always have the wonderful Margaret to fall back on when she's older. I think it's nice just by itself without a nickname, but for a little girl I think it needs one.
Oh... I apparently jumped over the words "and for" in your post when I read it. Your grandmother and for Margaret Atwood. Silly me.
