Help[Opinions] Re: Marigold & Magnolia
in reply to a message by LiaMaria
Marigold nn Goldie is very cutesy but I have been leaning more and more towards not caring as much about things like that. I mean everything I know called Goldie are either Goldilocks, a goldfish, or Goldie Hawn who has a somewhat cute reputation. It definitely makes me think of the cute flowers and fairy tales but I like that association. It also feels like a hobbit name imo. I imagine a rl Marigold being very cheerful, a little naive, optimist/ idealist, and artistic. Truthfully I imagine a Marigold being a lot like myself in personality.
Margot has a snobby reputation, it is a name that is often used in American books and movies for someone upper class and at least a bit snobby probably in part because it is a French name but that doesn't mean that actual Margot's are snobby. I know at least two Margot's very well, one was only slightly snobby and the other mostly went by her mn so she was called Penny and she wasn't snobby at all, both of them are partially artists though. The first Margot wanted to be a photographer but only has a photography side business, she mostly is a psychologist who works with prison inmates. The one who goes by Penny is mostly a mother and a mariner who lives on her boat most of the year but she loves to create artwork and bake. Penny also does some sustainable farming and preserving/ canning food at a friend's property along with her identical twin sister Morgan who goes by her mn Lizzie.
I have never known anyone named Magnolia other than in passing but they were my best friend in childhood's favorite flower and she called them tulip trees. I have a family friend who goes by Mags - which is a nn for Margaret - so I personally prefer Mags as a nn for Magnolia. Nola is a pretty nn though and it is only the slightest stretch. I also like Maggie as a nn for Magnolia although I prefer Mag or Mags or Magna. Meg or Peg could also work well as a nn. The image I have of someone named Magnolia is not cutesy at all, rather she is elegant, poised, and artistic. She seems like someone interested in fine arts like playing the piano, or dance like ballet or modern, or painting, etc... I imagine a Magnolia being very feminine although not necessarily frilly. She might be snobby just like a Margot may be snobby, although Margot feels more snobby than Magnolia.
Overall the same thread all these names share is that I imagine someone very artistic having these names.
