[Opinions] Re: Margaret
in reply to a message by Jacinta Ismene
I like Margaret a lot. I like it for the same reasons I like a lot of other classic names like Elizabeth and Alexandra- besides the obvious history and timelessness, they have an amazing amount of nickname options which means the name will serve the person really well throughout their life.
Margaret was my great-grandmother's name and it is a name I will probably consider the mn position for a daughter one day.
But as a fn, I prefer Marguerite which is my youngest sister's name (she was named for my great-grandma). She is Marguerite Siena Catherine but we call her Daisy. I imagine once she is older, she will prefer to go by Marguerite or one of the many other nicknames.
My favourite Margaret nn is Maggie. I like Maggie is cute and spunky. I really am not much a of a Greta fan, but I don't mind Margot.
I prefer Margaret to Margareta. Margareta is a little frilly and sounds like the pizza topping (marguerita).
