| I knew one Margaret who used Mimi as a nickname. I know one Margaret Anne who used to go by MegAnn (pronounced like Megan), but now just goes by Meg. I know a Margaret Jane who goes by MJ. Or just have her use her middle name. I know a number of people who are J. Michael Doe using their middle name as their username. |

| I wouldn't get creative. I'd use Maggie or Meg. |

Ok, ok, I'm the old fart who posted about Dagwood and Driving Miss Daisy. Thanks for giving me a laugh and reminding me of how old I am!
My Margaret is in high school and LOVES her given name. As close as we come to a nickname is occasionally just cutting it off at Marg. |

OP here - wow, so many responses already, thanks all! I do like Margaret by itself, but Margaret is rhyme-y with the last name, so on a day to day basis a nickname would flow better. Our older DD also has a name that lends itself to sassy old-timey nicknames. Haven't thought about middle names yet, because while we'd really like to use Margaret as a first to honor a particular family member, if we can't get on the same page regarding what we'd actually call her, it will probably end up as a middle.
Like the Mae, Mimi, and Mugs (so cute!) suggestions! DH doesn't like "cutesy", i.e., Maisie, Daisy, or Maggie. 
Now that I type it, I think what we're looking for is a sassy, old-timey nickname. Not super girly, and good for an adult, not just little girl. What do you think of Peggy? Too generational still? |

| Or -- here's a funny idea -- use her name and call her Margaret. Hate nicknames. |

| How about Gerry worth a soft g (sound like jerrie) |

| I love Mugs. I had an elderly, much-loved cousin named Margaret who went by Mugs. |

Don't know sex for our baby but, if it is a girl, she will be Margaret Rose and go by Maisie 
But, I also had a mentor names Margaret who went by Migsie. Worked really well for her and I think it would be cute for a baby too! |
