Marguerite is a nice name - I prefer it miles more than Margaret, which I've never warmed up to. However, while Daisy or Pearl might have worked as nicknames in the 19th century, when a name's meaning seemed to be much more common knowledge, it would seriously be reaching today, imo.

LOVE THIS NAME! I had to do a project in school for younger children and for two elves I named one boy Edwin and one girl Marguerite. I like it a bit better than Margaret. Very pretty!

I like Marguerite well enough since it's the French form of my mom's name, Margaret. Marguerite is certainly intriguing and pretty to look at although to be honest, I like it more for the potential nns, Margot and Daisy. ;-)

I think it's really lovely and I don't think it needs a nickname. I've only ever known one (she'd be about 30 now) and she went by her full name. Her sister's name was Rebecca "Becca" and I thought it was a nice sibset; it sort of "normalized" Marguerite.

The only reason I've never considered it is because I don't think I could pull it off... it's elaborate and almost sexy in a way that only certain people can carry.

Marguerite is one of my absolute favorite names. I adore it and say it to myself all the time so that I can revel in its melodiousness.

I don't ever want it to be diminutized!

I see Daisy and Pearl as separate names. I also like Rita and Greta but see them as fully established names as well. I guess I would just call her Marguerite. It is nice, makes me think of France and of spring :) It is really out of fashion in France but I hope it can make a comeback.

I think Marguerite is elegantly old-fashioned and I love the use of the classic nicknames for it - imo Daisy is far too childish to be used as a name in its own right. I don't like Pearl as a given name either, but it's a fun nickname for Marguerite

I love Marguerite, it's so elegant yet so unfussy. Much prettier than plain old Margaret. I also like Margarita, but it has a different, much flashier feel to it.

I would rather not have any nns, or at least let one develop naturally. Daisy and Pearl would not be nns to me; if I wanted to use them I'd just use them and skip the messy, rather show-off-how-nerdy-I-am step of making them nicknames for Marguerite.

Hi !!!

Marguerite sounds dated and austere.

I prefer the Italian Margherita which is the variant of Marguerite and the Italian for "daisy" at the same time.
