Just love Maggie as it is, sorry that is not much help Xmas Hmm

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.

I love Marguerite.

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 :-)

SpringHeeledJack · 14/12/2010 23:11

I've got a Maggie!

we have only once- in seven years- met another one

(under thirty, anyway Smile)

panettoinydog · 14/12/2010 23:18

I like Maggie a lot but I do like Margaret too.

notaroundmuch · 15/12/2010 01:05

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.

mathanxiety · 15/12/2010 02:11

I know a bunch of them DD1's age and younger. All are short for Margaret but one is Margret on her BC.

faverolles · 15/12/2010 10:35

I have a Maggie too, and have never met another!
Mine isn't short for anything.
SHe really suits her name.

pipplin · 16/12/2010 14:28

I love Maggie. Shame dp doesn't :(

AllieW · 16/12/2010 14:30

DP put off by The Simpsons, perhaps?

boogeek · 16/12/2010 14:30

I've got a Maggie too - seems there are a few about even though I also have never met another.
Mine is really a Margaret :)

Bagpusstree · 16/12/2010 17:59

I like Maggie in its own right too. One we toyed with.

Fourleaf · 16/12/2010 18:40

I love Maggie :) But would personally call her Margaret on the birth certificate...

GirlWithTheMouseyHair · 16/12/2010 22:21

My 2 best friends are called Maggie, not short for anything, just Maggie

It's a lush name

SilkStalkings · 18/12/2010 18:00

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

JojoMags · 18/12/2010 19:20

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

tomorrowsanotherday · 18/12/2010 20:07

Like a lot of the others I love Maggie on its own. One of the few girls names I like so gutted my DP doesn't like it Sad
