I am the joint guardian of a girl named Meg, but I refer to her as my daughter. Her parents have the surnames Full and Stoppe, so her full name is Meg Full- Stoppe. Many people think her name is actually MEGAN, but we have to correct them, as her FULL NAME is JUST MEG. Meg means Pearl in Greek, which is perfect for my beautiful little girl, as well as Meg backwards spelling Gem. Her friends call her Megamind and Megatron, but she doesn't mind it and is never bullied for her name. Meg is PERFECT for a beautiful, talented, kind and intelligent girl. It ages beautifully and has been a classic for a long time. ♡♡♡♡ Sleep well my beautiful baby girl ♡♡♡♡♡.

Meg is such a sexy girl. I want to kiss every Meg that exists. I knew a Meg in high school and I wanted to sell myself to her, a shame she needed no money. I love the name, it reminds me of a lavender field with rabbits running too and fro looking for a lover. Meg reminds me of a club in NYC that's bustling with people but outside it's raining and quiet. It reminds me of a pumpkin soup on a freezing day that makes you think you will survive. I want to reincarnate as a Meg sooooo bad!

I think this is beautiful, but I don't understand how this, Maegan, Megan, and Meghan are diminutives of Margaret though.

Hm, I love the name Margaret, and the name Meg reminds me of Meg March from the book/movie Little Women. This is a good nickname for Margaret.

My name is Meg, it's not short for anything, just Meg. When I was younger people called me Megan which was frustrating. I like my name and like how it's not too common, but not really wacky. :)

My name is Meg, short for Margaret and I don't like when people say my name is Megan. Meg is a nice name and isn't hard to pronounce. Maggie is also a great name and it isn't shrewd.
Thank You. #MegStrong #Megisthebestnameever.

I prefer it as a short for the name Megan. Margaret has too many nicknames like Elizabeth or Mary.

Easily the prettiest nickname for Margaret in my honest opinion. I have loved Meg since finding the character Meg Merrilees in Sir Walter Scott's novel "Guy Mannering".

The lovely name Meg was originally a nickname for the wonderful name Margaret, not Megan. I think Meg is a trillion times prettier and more elegant than the rather horrid nickname "Maggie," which sounds to me like a shrew. Yes, Meg could be a nickname for Megan, but again, it was originally a nickname for Margaret. That being said, I think Meg stands very nicely on its own. Reminds me of nutmeg and rustic beauty.

I absolutely love the name Meg. :D ♥ It's so simple yet cute and pretty. :D It makes me think of writer Meg Rosoff. Also, it makes me think of American rock band Meg & Dia who have this awesome song "Monster" which I totally recommend listening to if you haven't already! :D.

My name is Megan and I hate when people call me Meg. It just sounds so gross and unoriginal and it cuts off my name at a harsh sounding place.

My name is Margaret Mary and I have gone by Meg my entire life. I love it! I have yet to have any problems with someone having the same name as me. I know a lot of Margaret's who go by Maggie, and I feel like my name is more unique. The only downside is that some people think my real name is Megan (which I cannot stand). Overall, I like my name and I'm glad my parents chose Meg and not the more common Maggie.

No way. I wouldn't name my kid after that arrogant snob Meg Ryan. And I wouldn't want to get Meg Griffin jokes either.

My name is Megan, but I find it really irritating when people call me Meg. My family and friends have always done it, and probably always will, out of habit. Meg doesn't look like a finished name, in my opinion-it lacks. And yet, I will always be cursed to be called "Meg", no matter how many times I correct people.
As a pet name for Margaret, I think it all depends on the person's opinion - if they'd rather be called Maggie, call them Maggie. If they prefer Meg, call them Meg, even though many people become confused.

I do believe this is a perfectly fine nickname for Margaret. The only downside that emerges is the annoyingly high number of people who, be it school or every day life, feel the need to start calling you Meghan. Yes, I do realize that it is easier to shorten Meghan or Megan to Meg. I get it. The first three letters are all the same. BUT. But. Meg is a perfectly acceptable nickname to Margaret and has been for long time. As previously said, however, most people do not appear to get that in real life. People will call me Meghan all the time, thinking they are so smart for coming up with a full name for me. It gets tedious, telling them that, no, in fact, my name is Margaret. But I digress. Meg is a lovely name that I would recommend greatly to both Margarets and Meghans. It is not too childish that you need to grow out of it, though I assume many people drop it for their full name because all their childhood friends used to call them it and it makes them feel more grown-up to be called their full name. I do know that I will continue to ask people who become my friends in college to call me Meg. ^^' Of course, I am guessing most of you already assumed most of the things I said. I was reading about how lots of people knew it as a nickname for Megan and Meghan.

I hate the nickname Meg, and Hercules and A Wrinkle in Time just makes it worse. Even though Meg is smart, she's emotionally unstable.

It's not usually short for Margaret, but Megan or something like that. Usually Margarets are Maggies.

It is too a short form of Margaret. In fact, it probably was a short form of Margaret before it was a short form of Megan, because Margaret is an older name than Megan is.

This name is simple, but has plenty of character. I think it is the type of name, like Jane, that packs a lot into a short name. Very powerful.
