does this work as a nn for Margaret

genromeo · June 2014

DD2 is now 2 months old. We named her Margaret for my aunt. DH loves her name but I still don't really like it. I've been calling her Mimi because that's what my toddler calls her, but I don't like that either. I'm not a huge fan of Maggie, Marge, Madge, Molly, Midge, Margie, Meg, or Greta. Daisy is cute but won't work b/c DD1 is named Rose.

Soooooooo ... do y'all/youse guys think Maisie is a legit nn for Margaret? How about Mae? I think I might like those.

Totally legit and totally adorable!

Edit-- forgot to add that the name I think is adorable is Maisie.

I love both Maisie and Mae and I think they are totally legit.

I like Masie a lot.

Also, I laughed bc DD called DS Mimi for ages after he was born.

Thanks all. I've been testing Maisie out on her all day. So far, so good ...

Yes both are perfectly acceptable. The beauty of Margaret is her nickname potential, imo. (I love Daisy, Greta and Mae most). My great grandma was Margaret, she was called Mae. I would have totally used it but a cousin got to it first

I do like Maisie a lot as well, but I always worried that people would think it was "Macy" ... although DD has a little classmate named Maisie and it does sound distinct.
