Re: Margaret/Marguerite
I think Genevieve and Marguerite are beautiful together and it doesn't matter if you're not French. It just means that you love French names. I also don't think Margaret and Marguerite for cousins would be bad -- especially since Margaret is called Greta. Furthermore, Greta and Margo sound completely different. Only a name nerd would know they're related. My sister has a dd named Emily and her SIL named her dd Emma several years later. No problem. Similar names are definitely doable within families. As for the mn, Genevieve, it's just a mn and is most likely rarely used.

I know cousins ...First cousins who lived until recently two houses down from each other, who are named Anna and Hannah. Putting aside the fact the names are forms of the same name, they sound almost exactly alike, and since the girls lived so close together and played together, if one name was called from any distance, it would be almost impossible to tell which name was being called.
