Girl name help

mysticriver · February 2012

Okay, it's probably way too early for me to start thinking about this, but I've spent hours with insomnia thinking about it, so...

If we have a girl I'd like to pick a name to honor my grandmothers, Margaret and Anna and am looking for different variations on the names.

My first choice was Anna Margaret but DH is not a fan (Grrr!). He prefers Hannah to Anna but I already know too many Hannahs. I love the name Margaret but am not sure I want it as a first name since I prefer names without lots of nicknames.

Any ideas? I'm up for all different variations and combinations of the two names (Anne, Meg, etc.), including names from different cultures (I'm a fan of Aine and Mairead). I've also thought of adding other names like Mary (ex. Marianne Margaret) but I definitely want both Anna/Anne and Margaret.

Thanks!

Maggie Ann

Margaret seems too old fashioned to actually call a child.

I think Aine Mairead is beautiful if you are of Irish descent.

I don't like Margaret at all, a very 65 yr old name.

I like Margaret Anne and call her Maggie.

My sister is named after many Margarets in my family and her name is Megan. You could always do Megan Anne or Megan Anna or something along those lines.
