HelpRe: Margaret.
in reply to a message by Siri
I think Margaret Christine is lovely Siri :-) It doesn't sound at all dated to me but it does seem traditional. Sounds like a wintry type of name and very pretty.
I've always like Margaret myself as well, though it's nowhere near the top of my list so I'll never use it personally but I like to suggest it to friends and family who are having children :-) It's not all that common these days and I LOVE the nn of Meg (but hate Maggie lol).
edit: I forgot to say that in high school I worked with a Margaret and she didn't go by any nn's, which I actually liked. She was kind of gothy/rock-ish and calling her Margaret was a good balance. Plus it's just a pretty name to say!

Her grandpa would call her Margaret
As would her daddy. :-D Only my side of the family would use nicknames.
I really like the traditional feeling to it. I'd still like something a little more quirky, but X doesn't.
And as for Maggie: I really hate it. I do love Meg, though. We'll see how her personality develops and whether she's a Meg, May, or Maisie.

I never even thought of May as a nn for Margaret but I like it. In your original post you said there a lot of nns for Margaret and so I was trying to think of some and all I could come up with was Meg and variants of Maggie... but I see May and Maisie now. What other nns would you consider for Margaret?

Meg, Maisie, May, Mare , Greta
Maybe Peg/Peggy.
Maybe Peg/Peggy.

Greta!
I love Greta. Long ago, I decided that's what I'm going to be called in my 'old age' becuase Stacey is not a Gramma name =)
