Re: Margaret
in reply to a message by Llewella
In all honesty, I can't picture a baby or girl Margaret and I have tried! This is because where I'm from it's only middle aged and elderly women who have this name.
I've known a lot of Margarets and they have always been very sensible, organised people, the sort of people who are on lots of committees. Maggie I find slightly easier to picture on someone young but again, it's still a bit middle-aged for me. Maggies tend to be more outgoing and louder than Margarets in my experience.
I guess my favourite nicknames would be Maisie or Meg but overall it's not one of my favourite names at all. Sorry!
