immediate thoughts on Magnolia?

Jb&Jb · April 2010

dh and I were throwing out names the other day and this one came up. we both decided we kind of like it, but i'm not sure if it's a little awkward as a name. what are you thoughts? is maggie the obvious nickname (dh suggested noli(e?) as a NN).

NMS

Maggie would be my first thought on a nn, but Noli would work if that's what you chose to call her.

I think flower, then movie. Then I saw that sister was Lillian, and I thought flower some more. Nms.

I loove flower names for girls and I think Magnolia is beautiful I'd prefer the name Noli(a) but Maggie is cute too.

I also like Lavender, Iris and Ivy.

I think its very unique and pretty, and I really like the nn Noli.

I really dislike Magnolia BUT if you nn her Maggie and stick to that it's kind of cute. I agree it's a little awkward. It makes me think old lady.

These were my thoughts too.

I do love Maggie though!

Not for a child.

Different but cute. I prefer the nn Maggie over Noli.

I think of tree when I hear that name.

If you like the name Maggie just name her that.

i think of a flower when i hear the name, it will go well with lillian.

goodgollie · April 2010

I think it's cute for a little girl, but not an adult. I don't care for Maggie as a nn.

K-I-S-S-I-N-G · April 2010

I love magnolias and I love the way the word magnolia sounds and rolls off the tongue but I don't like it as a name....you are right, it is awkward.

sbuxsweetie · April 2010

It's the name of a plantation home here in SC, so that's what I automatically think of. I haven't decided if I like it as a name, but Maggie or Nolie would be cute nns.

makes me think of cupcakes. there is a magnolia bakery here in nyc that is famous for their cupcakes. ?

MrsMeMo · April 2010

Don't like it at all. Rose translates well to a name, Magnolia not so much. Sorry.

ams8099 · April 2010

Magnolia is NMS.

Lillian Mae is my nieces name though. She is about the same age as your DD.

hellomynameisfabulous · April 2010

I think it's pretty and I like Maggie as a nickname. Definitely different, but not in a 'made up' or weird way.

tct1219 · April 2010

maggie or meg could work but i would probably call her may. i think it's cuter and less like a dog's name than maggie. i think it's adorable. i like that it's an old name that was never very popular so it doesn't sound old at all.

westcoaststyle · April 2010

Yeah, I do kind of like it!

GulfCoaster · April 2010

NMS. I think of the magnolia tree in my front yard -- a tree that has been a pain to care for.

So I don't really think of it as a child's name.

MWoodside · April 2010

That's my dad's nn for me & my name is Megan. I never thought about it for a name in itself though.

Crispity · April 2010

NMS, but Maggie is cute. I also like Nola (rather than Noli) as a possible nn.

tch81 · April 2010

I absolutely LOVE IT!!!! I even love Noli or Nolie as a nickname. I think it's beautiful and different.

finfinfin · April 2010

Love it. Maggie as nickname is still great.

bandwife928 · April 2010

I loooove it. I like Noli and Maggie and Lia as nicknames. Do you have connections to the South? If so, I like it even more. I think the world needs more names that remind people of cupcakes!
