PhilPhilConnors · 16/02/2016 18:14

Love it.

LadyWithLapdog · 16/02/2016 18:15

No. Thatcher connection, sorry.

SweetieDrops · 16/02/2016 18:15

Simpson or Thatcher.

Not keen on it.

gymboywalton · 16/02/2016 18:16

makes me thing of maggie thatcher or the song 'maggie may'
especially the folk song-'oh maggie maggie may, now they have taken you away, and you'll never walk down lime street anymore. You've known so many sailors and captains off the whalers...'

It's about a prostitute

SparklyPenguin · 16/02/2016 18:19

No. Thatcher.

Really like it. I know a 3 year old Maggie who is a feisty little lady!

Wishfulmakeupping · 16/02/2016 19:14

My dd's best friend at school is called Maggie is a sweet name I really like it but I'd assume it was a nickname for Margaret

Lottie2611 · 16/02/2016 19:21

Love it!

ChildlessAndOK · 16/02/2016 19:32

I'm in the like camp!!

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 16/02/2016 19:34

Love it

fondationmaeght · 16/02/2016 19:40

Love it!

nellyflora · 16/02/2016 19:51

It's great! But needs to have a full name also

Kittykatmacbill · 16/02/2016 20:29

Love it! Dd1 and dd2 were both nearly it.

But be warned both sets of grandparents hated it, with a passion. Thatcher connection...

QueryQuery · 16/02/2016 20:33

It was on my list, but I very much doubt I'd ever have used it. That Woman has bloody ruined it.

Ellisander · 16/02/2016 20:38

I really love it. I'd use Margaret though (then she has other nickname options - Meg and Greta are also fab). Or Margot - could that shorten to Maggie? Fantastic name, anyway.

dementedma · 16/02/2016 20:40

Simpsons connection for me but love it!

dementedma · 16/02/2016 20:40

Love it

Ankleswingers · 16/02/2016 20:41

Not liking it at all op. Sorry.

candykane25 · 16/02/2016 20:44

It's 24 yrs since the milk snatcher got pushed out.
Maggie is great name. Time for it to be reclaimed I think.

ILiveForNachos · 16/02/2016 21:23

I LOVE Maggie but OH is not convinced 😫

DramaAlpaca · 16/02/2016 21:27

I don't like it at all, sorry.

thebiscuitindustry · 16/02/2016 21:30

I find it a bit harsh, sorry.

Drogon · 16/02/2016 21:36

I love it! I wanted DD to be Maggie but DP got the deciding vote Sad
