nn Meg

I love the nn "Meg" but am not a fan of Margaret.  Any other names that get to that nickname that I might be overlooking?

My mom goes by Meg, but those are her initials.

Sorry I don't have any other suggestions, but I wish you would reconsider Margaret. IMO, it's a beautiful, yet strong name. A refined classic, which carries many nickname options for the baby later in life.

This post reminded me of this lovely little poem:

In search from A to Z they passed,
And "Marguerita" chose at last;
But thought it sound far more sweet
To call the baby "Marguerite."
When grandma saw the little pet,
She called her "darling Margaret."
Next uncle Jack and cousin Aggie
Sent cup and spoon to "little Maggie."
And grandpapa the right must beg
To call the lassie "bonnie Meg."
From "Marguerita" down to "Meg,"
And now she's simply "little Peg."

Just name her Meg? Nothing wrong with that!

That poem is funny. My mom wanted to name me Maggie, but dad's mom was Margaret, so that is the name on my birth certificate. So usually, I go by Maggie, but people think its fun to call me, Peg, Peggy, Mags, Marge, Margie, Meg, Gretta, etc. My speech teacher in high school tried to come up with a new name every day.
