    I voted Maggie, because I've always loved that nn, but I also like Greta. 

    I know it's not on your list, but I'm also a fan of Meg.

    I voted Maggie, as that is what my Margaret has been since before she was born.  So I am probably a tad biased.

    Thanks everyone! I actually don't like the name Meg at all, which is why I didn't include it. I do enjoy Molly though :)

    I voted Maggie, but wanted to also note that a very dear friend of mine goes by Margs. Yes, like a pitcher of margs at the Mexican restaurant. But it fits her spunky personality and I love it on her.

    I like Maggie and that's my first instinct and what I voted for, but Greta is starting to grow on me.

    Edit:  Looking at other posts, I kinda don't hate Molly, either.

    I had a dog named Maggie that my brother named because when he found her (stray) she had maggots in her butt. Ruined the name forever!

    I like Daisy, Margot, [kind of like] Greta.

     

    I also really just like Margaret on it's own.

    How does one get Daisy from Margaret? That makes zero sense.

    LOL thanks for the assessment. I'm going to assume you didn't vote for that one then ;)

    For your reference, Daisy has been used as a nickname for Margaret dating back to the Middle Ages. Marguerite means Daisy in French.

    I chose Greta though I prefer it on its own.

    I was wondering the same thing, Calla, so thanks for the clarification.

    I love love love Daisy.  And I get how it comes from Margaret, but I like it on its own, not as a nickname for Margaret.  I prefer Maggie as a nickname.

    My grandma is Margaret.  My grandpa always calls her "Margy" (sounds like mar-Gee not mar-Jee).  I voted for Maggie.

    I just remembered I played soccer with someone in high school who was Margaret and went by Margy(or maybe Margie)...sounded like Marge(like from the Simpsons)-ee.  It actually was pretty cute.

    @futuremrsw9 - The one thing that makes me nervous about that nickname (as ridiculous as this sounds) is that because DH and I are so tall, likely any daughter we have would be around 6' tall. I knew someone who was called Marge the Barge, and I'd like to avoid that if at all possible ;)
