Anyone got any ideas for a full name for maggie that's not margaret?! I love the nn but would like a full name too - any thoughts welcome!

luckily my DP does (despite the Simpsons!) so thats number 1 choice at the moment. Still slightly undecided about whether it will be a nn or a full name - but i dont need to decide for a while yet. Only slight problem is, despite being desparate not to find out the sex at the 20 week scan, I think I saw something very suspicious - so there is a strong likliehood that a boys name will be in order instead! never mind, will keep this one as top choice for the next one if my suspicions are correct!!

No-one's mentioned Marigold! I really love that name (can you tell?), but dh was not having it Sad. Maggie is the most obvious nn for it.

Been put off Marigold by the Jacqueline Wilson book 'The Tattooed Mum.'

Love name Maggie as it is. Much prettier than Magaret. Expecting baby in dec and is in top two names for us.

What about Margaratha (think it is the name fo the Queen of Denmark)?

juliabb · 18/08/2011 14:27

Not or me. Just like maggie. Cute and simple.

We have friends with a daughter Maggie.

Maggie is the full name. When I heard it I was, Hmm, but its a grower, and I'm now a fan of the name.

Magaly

Emphasis on the first syllable MAGalee

There are lots in france,spain, portugal because I think she was a saint.

I'd put Margaret or Margaretha on the bc and use Maggie as a nickname.

I'd hesitate to use Maggie as to me it is this (Maggi): en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maggi

but perhaps it is not sold in the UK.

This isn't the first Maggi baby name thread.

Makes me curious, as I was a child in the '80's, and it just makes me think of "Maggi, Maggie, Maggie, Out, Out, Out!"

But I supposed it could be short for Magdalene, which is nice.

Similar but different: Peggy
