[Opinions] Re: Nicknames for Marigold
in reply to a message by Nicknames for Marigold
I like Mae - it's cute, and definitely an interesting and different nickname for Marigold.
Em makes me think that it's short for Emma or Emily, or something like that, so I'm not sure that works. Maisie doesn't seem to work as a nickname either, though I like it as a name in its own right. Maggie does work as a nickname for Marigold, but I just really hate it. Also, people would probably assume her name was Margaret instead.
The nicknames that spring to mind for me are Mari/Mary, Goldie, or Ri - though those do all end in the 'ee' sound.
