Pretty distinctive nickname for Margaret. I guess it must be my distant English heritage but I love it when a respectable formal name has a nickname that’s so…ugly cute, and you have to almost stop yourself from smiling…oh, Midge. :)
I like this name (pretty cute, to be honest) but for some reason, I am reminded of the word midget, and it's bugging me so much! Still like the name, though.
It’s very cute, I nicknamed my friend Midge because she was a bit smaller than others and she likes the nickname. I don’t really care about the things such as the insect Midge.
Not to be rude, but a Midge is a mosquito-like bug. Whenever I hear this word or name I am immediately reminded of my experience in Iceland with millions of midges stuck to my car. If it weren't for the bug association, this would be a lovely name.

I love this as a nickname, though I've only seen it as a nickname for Miriam in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. I really like it as a nickname for Imogen, though! It's a cool name.
Midge is a cool name, and it is also the name of a character in an episode of Dr Who in 1989, called Survival. He was a good character, who later turned evil and died. He was played by actor Will Barton.
Midge Hardcastle, character in Agatha Christie's The Hollow.
