Peggy is fine though.

SuckingEggs · 16/08/2016 21:31

They all look silly. And made up.

I love Peggy! It is so due a revival.

Not sure I'd use any of your choices, they sound made up.

I'd use Margaret or just Peggy by itself.

TwentyCups · 16/08/2016 21:31

I would honestly just call her Peggy

Dontrocktheboat · 16/08/2016 21:31

How about Margaret nickname Peggy (as is usual i think)

Yes, sort of made up, just wondered which looked nicer/'correct'.

I've never heard of it. Id probably spell it Pegaty or Peggaty but i really don't like it. I know you didn't ask for opinions :)

No!
Peggy or Peg is usually short for Margaret.

Dontrocktheboat · 16/08/2016 21:30

Peggity. It was the name of my parents' VW beetle in early eighties. I don't think it works that well as a child's name though....

Zippidydoodah · 16/08/2016 21:29

Never heard of that name! But agree with the pp.

(PS. Just call her Peggy!)

The only reference I could find is:

"The Peggotty family are fictional characters in Charles Dickens's 1850 novel David Copperfield"

So I guess that's how I would spell it.

I don't really understand the question...

Is it a real name? If so, how is it spelled?

Or is it a made up name? If so, you can spell it however you want, can't you?
