I was Mimi growing up. My dad was pretty preppy. Not super rich but definitely an old preppy family.

My Mom a Margaret was called ‘Madge’ in college by her friends. She hated it but maybe it would be considered cool now idk.

I have a Margaret. I don’t understand trying to come up w/ a nn? Isn’t the point that a nn evolves in an organic way? Related to something about the child or someone pronounces or can’t pronounce the name? It seems really strange to decide a nn before you even know the child?

This is the correct answer. The richest woman I know is nn "Scotch." Think Bunny Williams, etc. (Bunny was nn for birth name of Bruce Boxley Blackwell).

Yep. The unrelated nn is definitely the most preppy.

Margaret by itself is a lovely name. Unfortunately if we used her baby talk name it would be Maggot, so....

I never understand when people don't want their child to be called by their first name. If you don't like it, don't name your child that name!

I like Mimi but she may not like that as she grows up. I think of it more as a nickname for Miriam or Camille.

I love everything about nicknames and purposefully chose names with nickname potential. I hate that my name has no diminutives. It’s bugged me that my name doesn’t fit me and can’t change as I grow.

My dad was a Bobby who became a Rob and then later became a Bob

I love my kid's name, but I don't like some of the nickname options for it so we proactively chose a nn we do like. Letting them develop organically sometimes ends with them having a nickname you don't like.
