I'm all confused now! Margaret, Josephine, Elizabeth clicky

DH and I have finally agreed to TTC #2.  I've been obsessed with names forever, been working on our girl list well, basically the whole time we've been together.  Margaret has been the first pick for a girl for 3 years now.  Ann will be the middle name no matter what to honor DH's deceased mother.

Now that it's real I'm suddenly freaking out about Margaret.  We want 3-5 kids total, so in theory there's a chance of more than one girl but I'm just not sure I don't love one of the other names better and I don't want to assume I'll get a chance to use it later.

Besides, I had a complicated pregnancy last time and difficulty getting pregnant so who's to say that the decision is entirely up to us on the number.

They are all nice, I like Maggie the best out of all the nn's so I voted for that. If Eliza had been your nn for Elizabeth that would have got my vote.

They are all SO CUTE!! I voted Margaret, nn Maggie, because that's my name and I have always had really good experiences with it. I think your DD would love it But I'm pretty biased. They are all pretty, you really can't go wrong! 

 FWIW I also really love the nn Betsy. Elisabeth nn Betsy is on my list (with the French spelling, Elisabeth, to honor my mom)

Love Margaret and love the nn Maggie!

Josephine is actually my fave of the three, but I'm not crazy about Josephine Ann, so I voted for Margaret. I like that and Elizabeth equally but prefer the nn you picked for Margaret.

It really is a tough call between Margaret and Elizabeth for me, but I went with Margaret because I prefer Maggie over the Elizabeth nns.

I'm honestly not a fan of super classic first names as I think of someone much older. However I think that Maggie is an adorable name and so I choose Margaret.

These names are same/same/same to me. All pretty, all classic, all a little boring for my taste. I don't think you should stress out over it too much before you know if you're having a girl, and for sure not before you're pregnant.

I voted for Elizabeth because I like Betsy. I think Maggie is a cute NN, but I don't think Margaret in full is a very attractive name.

I love Elizabeth with the NN Betsy, so that gets my vote.  But the other names are beautiful as well.  I don't like most common NNs for Margaret and Josephine.

I voted for Margaret, especially since you already have a boy named Theodore. Later on if you use Elizabeth for another girl you could have a whole presidental/first lady theme going.

I love Margaret. We wish we hadn't named our cat Maggie so we could use it. Obviously we love Josie too, but I really like Maggie a lot.

TrudyCampbell

Great names but I chose Elizabeth nn Betsy. I also like Greta for Margaret instead of Maggie.

Tough call.  I love them all.  But I prefer Betsy to Maggie (even though I prefer Margaret to Elizabeth--don't tell my kid), so that gets my vote.

I love them all!  We named our little girl Margaret Louise and call her Maggie.  My name is Elizabeth Ann and I go by Lizzy (and I've always loved my name), and we love the name Josephine but couldn't use it because our last name starts with an O and Josie O is too much.

I can't vote because I love them all.  Seeing your username, I'd suggest going with Elizabeth, nn Lizzy, after the fabulous Miss Bennett.

Elizabeth has been on our list for the last two girls. The only reason it didn't get used was because DH's cousin named a baby Elizabeth.

I also love Margaret.

Soap&Cider

I voted for Margaret. I like all of your choices and especially like the nn Betsy for Elizabeth! Also, your son's name is adorable!
