middle name for Margaret

somethingchangd · September 2012

I'm bored out of my mind and feeling like doing something baby related - help me name my kid! 99% sure her first name will be Margaret (nn Greta) after my grandma. Current front runner is Margaret Eleri. I also really like Margaret Daisy and Margaret Dove. (Last name starts with a G, ends in ths.)

I like nature names. Welsh names are a plus (DH is from Wales), which explains Eleri. Suggestions?

Middle names that start with a D clash a bit with the ending T of Margaret. love this first name, BTW.

How do you feel about alliteration? Mae is cute.
Also, Ivy, although it's not that popular around here. I love it though!
Briony or Brione
Fawn
Wren
Flora
Azalea

Margaret Iris

Margaret Lark

Margaret Clementine

Margaret Lavender

Margaret Heather

Margaret Hadley (means heather)

Margaret Briar

Margaret River

Margaret Bryn

You're right about Margaret Daisy, but do you think that's something that only name nerds know? A lot of people have side-eyed me when I included Daisy on a list of possible nicknames for Margaret. (My great-aunt was Daisy, so that one isn't just pulled out of a hat.)

I like Margaret Clementine. DH started singing right away. :-/

My grandmother was Margaret Jane. I think Margaret is such a beautiful name with so many great nicknames!

What about Margaret Sela? Only other name I can think of is not nature related sorry is Margaret Louise.

We have Margaret Victoria and Margaret Eleanor on our list right now.

I like Margaret Dove. Margaret Daisy is repetitive; I'd use Greta and Daisy as NNs.

Margaret Fern

Margaret Beatrix

Margaret Camellia

Margaret Dahlia

I love Margaret - awesome choice!

I like the Margaret Flora suggestion. Or... Ivy? Marigold? June? May/Mae?

Margaret Eleri is nice, I like that it honors your DH's heritage. I think of Dove as a last name before a nature name, I'd assume it was a family surname. I like pp's suggestion of Willow. I also like Winter, Hazel, Heather, Ivy, Iris, Juniper, Lily, Mae. Juniper and Willow are guilty pleasures of mine.
