My latest favorite: Margaret

BlindysWife · June 2012

I've posted before about Betsy being my flavor o' the month, but I just can get H on board. My new favorite is Margaret. I love both Maggie and Margo. What does everyone think of it? What kind of impression does it give you? And how does it pair with Linus? And nope, not KU quite yet. Just playing make-believe at the moment.

We have this name picked out if we have a girl (Margaret Tess). I have always LOVED Maggie, too. If it's a girl, she'll be named after H's GM and my mom, although I liked the name before I realized that.

I love Margaret. The nns are great. My favorites would be Margo/Margot, Pearl and Greta, although Maggie is pretty cute too!

My newest association it with is the Boardwalk Empire character.

I really like the idea of a sibset with Linus and Margaret. Yes

ETA: The actress Marlo Thomas is actually a Margaret too. I've been crushing on Marlo lately.

I dont think you can go wrong with the classics!

I am not a fan of Margaret as a name to go by, but love Margo. I love it spelled 'Margot'.

I adore Margaret, it's one of my favorite names! However, it's one of the few names that I prefer in it's formal form, with no nicknames. I dislike Maggie and Meg, and Margo is just okay.

I love Margaret and think it would be adorable with Linus! I also really like the nicknames Maggie and Margo, with a light preference for the latter.

I like it with nns of Maggie or Margot (which could also be its own name). Not a fan of the Meg, Peg nns.

Margo is super cute, Maggie is nice as well. And btw I loooove that your son is named Linus- that name rocks! I think the 2 sound nice together. I like the sound of Margo and Linus better than Maggie and Linus.

Yes

I also love Margaret as itself, as well as the two nn's. H and I talked about how I wouldn't know what to call our imaginary girl because I like all three so much! What would I do? :-P

I like Margaret with NNs Meg, or Maggie.

I love Margo stand alone.

I like Margaret a lot!

My name is Margaret (nn Maggie). I love it

. I have also considered switching to Margaret or Margo professionally, as I'm just starting my career - I love that there are so many options with my name!

I love the name Margaret! It sounds a lot fresher to me than Meg or Maggie or Margot. I don't feel the Margo(t) love at all, though. Greta is a fun nn I had never associated with Margaret, though!

I totally think it goes with Linus. They are both saint names, if that is something you care about.

I like Margaret and like Maggie and Margo too. I think a little Linus and Margo would be excellent.

BLPL101 · June 2012

It's really grown on me. I like it a lot and think Maggie is adorable.

I really love Maggie! Margaret is our top girl choice. Sometimes I think about more exciting Maggie options. But they're kind of like names I want to date for the experience, Margaret is who I'll marry and love.
