Margie

[turtlemania6]

Trying (in vain) to come up with a name for impending DC2, boys name sorted but so stuck on girls names.

What do people think of Margie? I met one today and thought it was pretty cool.

Cute but it's a nickname, I'd go for Margaret as a full name

I'd go for Margaret

I'd prefer margot

I just can't help thinking of marg I'm afraid but if you like it, that shouldn't matter. I love the name Linnet despite being told it makes everyone think of tampons! The Margie I know is really Marguerite - French for daisy I think. Very pretty.

Would you pronounce it with a hard or soft G?

I prefer Maggie as a nn for Margaret

I'd put Margaret on her BC.
Maggie
Margo
And Peggy
Are all nice nns, too

Love it! I know a gorgeous Margie (pronounced with soft g) it's suh a characterful and delightful name!

Agree it's a nick name. I also know a Margie short for Marguerite. Think it's a lovely name.

First thought was Marge Simpson.
Second, margarine.
Third, Maggie Thatcher.
(Yes Marge and Maggie don't have quite the same name, but still that's what came into my head).

So...no from me! I do like Marguerite though.

Thanks all. I think we'd pronounce with a soft g but I'm less keen on Margaret for BC. Marguerite I like. Any other more formal options?

Margot or Marjorie?

Margarita:-)

Marjorie or Margery nn Margie?

Hmm, Margi Clark sprang to mind there. It's OK though - nice than Margaret or Maggie.

Marjorie is very nice, imo. I don't know why it hasn't been revived the way that Elsie and other granny names have. If I were to use the NN Margie it would be short for Marjorie.

Marjorie or Margery (think that's the old English spelling) are nicer than Margaret IMO. Also Margie seems to come more naturally from it?

Or there was a character in an American show called Margene (pronounced Marjeen) which would also work? Sounds a bit too close to margarine, though, maybe!
