Sorry, whenever I see Maggie as a name, something in my mind just choruses 'Out Out Out!' Grin

Maggie isn't as nice as any of the longer names it can come from, IMO.

Maggie is lovely can see why you want to use it. I havent come across any under fives with this name.

My friend called her daughter Maggie.

Her DH called daughter Maggie all the way through pregnancy, and then they then ended up calling her Maggie.

I like it. Think it stands up as a name on its own.

Thank you so much for your responses, the name margot is beautiful as a full name but maybe it would be just fine on it's own after all!! I'm glad (most!) of you like it :-)

I have a Maggie too! Know of 1 other but hers is shortened from Margaret.

We decided it was lovely just as a name in itself and I'm really pleased we gave it to her, I love it.

I was going to have a Maggie short for Marianne. Was a boy in the end.

I once knew a Morag who got Maggie as a nn. I prefer Maggie on its own though.
