Not Margaret...would be Maggie.
Immediate thought...Simpsons right??
Don't think I'm sold, neither is dh but we have nothing so anything goes right now.
What you all think?

Maggi is a well known cooking sauce.

I love Magdalena or Marguerite though!

Mrsknackered · 10/10/2017 01:29

I love it. No bad connotations over here.

Margaret Thatcher was no Maggie in my books.

Flippingecktucker · 10/10/2017 01:25

Maggie is a perennially cool name, I think.

Sophronia · 10/10/2017 00:41

Thatcher is my first thought.

DramaAlpaca · 09/10/2017 22:44

I don't like it, I find it very harsh. And it reminds me of Thatcher.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 09/10/2017 22:42

Very nice.

Rach5l · 09/10/2017 21:46

Gorgeous

RaininSummer · 09/10/2017 21:33

I like it a lot.

Hufflepuff719 · 09/10/2017 21:31

I think I like it- quite classic but underused.

I say 'think' because I'm not sure about the harsh 'gg' sound.

Oh I forgot about Thatcher! Confused
Just don't know if Maggie would suit for all stages especially teens.
Haven't considered any of those names mum2jenny they seem about out there to me.
Thanks though.

reminds me of the Maggi sauce and maggie gyllenhaal

Liadain · 09/10/2017 21:26

In certain places Maggie automatically = Thatcher - it definitely does to me. I'm not loving it on that basis.

Tollygunge · 09/10/2017 21:26

Thatcher. Ewwww

TheGirlOnTheLanding · 09/10/2017 21:25

I'm of an age that it's still ... Thatcher for me. So a no.

OyyVeyy · 09/10/2017 21:25

Makes me think first of Margaret Thatcher - which to me is not good. At all.

But then the Simpsons & Rod Stewart - which is better! Smile

Well you did ask.

addler · 09/10/2017 21:23

I LOVE Maggie. It’s near the top of my list.

Mum2jenny · 09/10/2017 21:18

A no from me for Maggie, but have you considered Marguerite, Magnolia, Madalena, rather than Margaret? There are other options if you google it though.

TheQueenOfWands · 09/10/2017 21:12

I think of Maggie Esmeralda from AHS Freak Show.

Or Maggie from The Walking Dead.

I love it. It's one of my favourite names.

MikeUniformMike · 09/10/2017 21:09

It's a yes from me.
