[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow! Haha I woke up from my daily afternoon pregnancy nap and wasn’t expecting so many answers, what a nice surprise :)

Thank you everyone whose commented - you all bring up points I’ve thought of myself and am considering. We’re  definitely are in a more “nickname” generation, aren’t we?

[b]One of the big things is that so few people know Daisy is a nickname for Margaret, and I don’t like that they start with different letters. None of the other “Margaret” nicknames appeal to me either...

I’m pretty strongly leaning towards using Daisy as a standalone name, I love the poster who said it’s a good thing to have a happy association with a name :) I love that!

Thank you all so much for your input, it means a lot! [/quote]

Why DOES Margaret have so many nicknames? And some are so random...Peg?? Daisy?? I have a Molly (JUST Molly, not nn for Margaret) so I've heard it all before.[/quote]

I don't know about the others, but Daisy is a nn for Margaret because in French, daisy is margeurite.

I personally prefer it as a standalone name for the same reason OP mentions above -- if you are going to have your baby go by a nickname from the start, it should at least sound something like the full name. Plus sometimes initials are significant and I don't love the idea of giving my kid a name where her initials won't include the letter that her name that we all call her starts with. It's just odd.[/quote]
