Thoughts on Maggie

Hi,
I have an Oliver and an Elsie and am due any day with another girlie.

Our names list was:
Martha
Mathilda
Maggie
Beatrice

I have always loved Maggie but it seems to get a really strong reaction (not a good one either!) and loads of people absolutely hate it.

What's the general consensus on Maggie?

Whilst I like the other names I find Bea a bit predictable, Martha a little hard and I love Matilda but can't stand the nn Tilly and have no control over what they will end up being called at school.

To be fair Elsie got a massive marmite reaction when she was born so I'm not adverse to a marmite name but is Maggie a hard name?

Thanks in advance!!!

I love Maggie, Peggy and Meg so Margaret would be a really good choice for me. Only problem is I'm not that keen on Margaret...
