How is the nickname Peggy derived from Margaret? What is the origin? I know Margaret means "Pearl" but everyone asks how I got Peggy.

Margaret > Marge/Margie > Meg/Meggie > Peg/Peggy. How the M became a P, I don't know. Y :)

In response to how the M became P it's probably because it rhymes. Rather like the game where you take someones name and rhyme it.
