Creative Nicknames for Margaret

[Anonymous]

As a Margaret the only one I would NOT use is Molly... it is the #1 name for dogs.

I introduce myself as Margaret... I go by Marg (family), Margie (family), Madge (HS friends), Margarita (neighbor), Marguerite (neighbor) , Margery (coworker),Rita (college boyfriend) and .... thanks to Pee Wee Herman... Large Marge (HS)

I like that i have different nicknames that were organically created... my advice, just embrace it.

You'll come up with something. I have a tendency to call my daughter Lou (or Lou Lou), which isn't at all her name.

We almost had a Margaret, named for my beloved grandmother. We still hadn't decided if we would call her Daisy, Greta, or Maggie when we had a boy instead. At the time, I was leaning heavily towards Daisy, while DH preferred Greta, but now (12 years later) I think Maggie would have been the way to go.

Consider initials too. If the middle or last name is an O, she could be Mo/Moe, which is cute.

I actually don't associate Molly with dogs. And that's not a big deal either. In my family our dogs are named Emma, Abby, Sophie and Sadie, which lots of people are naming their babies. I think Molly is sweet.

When you are a little girl kids are mean...'hey i know a dog named Molly" "my dogs named Molly" etc

I never met a Daisy. First thought, Dagwood Bumstead's dog. Second thought, Driving Miss Daisy. I'm sure the high school boys will have fun with that one.

I was a Molly and this was never an issue.

Yeah, high school boys in 15 years or so are really going to know the name of Dagwood's dog or a movie made in 1989.

Daisy Ridley is the actress who plays Rey in the new Star Wars.

I don't know either of your references and kids surely wouldn't.
