I love them both.

I'm going to say Maggie followed really shortly behind by Annie.

SpringHeeledJack · 02/06/2010 22:13

Lila

...everyone else must agree with you, as I've only ever met one other little Maggie in 6 years!

LaRagazzaInglese · 02/06/2010 22:10

Annie, as classic as they both are, i think Maggie might date badly.

LiquoriceLila · 02/06/2010 22:07

Sorry SpringHeeledJack

SpringHeeledJack · 02/06/2010 21:51

...tsc- can't you just sulk for the next 6 weeks till he caves in?

LiquoriceLila · 02/06/2010 21:42

my granny's name too

have absolutely no regrets about calling dd Maggie- still love it- and she completely inhabits her name iykwim. Couldn't imagine her being called anything else

...I also loved Maggie in Love and Rockets comics

I've got a Maggie! and a Frank- with Stanley for a middle name

everyone trusts a Maggie. And it's such a happy name, imho

(my brother swore that every time he saw dd, he'd think of Thatcher- he doesn't, though.

Tho we do like to sing Maggie Maggie Maggie- Out Out Out when the circumstances demand)

Great secondcoming

BTW - I hate Thatcher as much as the next 70s child, but wouldn't rule it out

Jamieandhismagictorch · 02/06/2010 20:25

hi secondcoming - how long now ?

Jamieandhismagictorch · 02/06/2010 20:25

I like both, but Annie slightly more

However, I would choose Margaret and then good choice of nn - Meg, Maggie and Peggy

Annie gets my vote

sedgiebaby · 02/06/2010 14:22

Maggie for me

liliputlady · 02/06/2010 14:16

Annie

SqueezyB · 02/06/2010 13:33

I love them both, but only as NNs, so for me Annie would have to be Anna or Annabel and Maggie would have to be Margaret/Magdelena/Margot or something. In fact that's the reason I crossed Maggie off my list as I couldn't find a long version that I liked!

swanandduck · 02/06/2010 13:03

I like Annie and think it's quite quirky. Not mad on Maggie, bit old lady.

mummyneedschocolate · 02/06/2010 10:54

I have a Maggie (19weeks), it's a lovely, pretty name. It's short for Margaret & I like the fact that it's a Saint's name, classic and timeless. It's much less common than Ann/Anna/Annie etc too.

Hedwig3 · 02/06/2010 10:09

I really like both, and Pearl too!
