Girls name Marguerite, nn Maggie or Margot

[JenSFP]

Thoughts please on girls name Marguerite, to be Maggie when little and perhaps Margot when older.

Would be sister to Bert and Florrie.

Had decided on Nancy but now not sure it's interesting enough.

Thanks

Lovely

All seem a bit try hard. Why not call her Margot?

I prefer Margot and Nancy but if you love it...

Maggie

It's nice, although personally I'm not so keen on Maggie or Margot. Margaretta with Greta as nickname is another Ida.

Thanks so much really appreciate your opinions

Idea not Ida!

Margot is a name in itself, not a nickname and definitely not a nickname for Marguerite.

And do people really impose nicknames on children when they’re older? Or at all?

Margot and nn Maggie when she's little

My little girls a margot. Always amaizes me how many people dont realise the T is silent. Something id genuinely never thought of before she was born.

@FamilyOfAliens Margot is a diminutive of Marguerite though.

@Notquiteagandt that hadn't really crossed my mind. Small price to pay for a lovely name though?

@FamilyOfAliens it's less about imposing but more about wondering what Marguerite could be shortened to if she found it too much of a mouthful generally. I'm erring towards Margot, nn Maggie for that reason.

All lovely.
Esp Margot. Marguerite is so much nicer than (frumpy imo) Margaret.

Marguerite nn Rita? Love Rita
Really Really dislike Margot. Lots.

I have a Margo and love it (no t as in laws speak English as second language and were saying maggot).

Margot is a diminutive of Marguerite though.

Ok, fair enough I looked it up and you’re right. Just seems odd to have a nickname that it actually a full name in itself but if the OP wants it, why not?

Lovely both full name and nick name. I don’t know any

I love it. It's DD's middle name so I'm possibly biased.

Know two with these names

Marguerite nn mags
Margot nn marg ( like margarine)

I would go with Marguerite nn Maggie

I also like Nancy

Think pearl would be nice with your other children’s names.

Prefer Margot as a stand alone name

I read your thread title as "Maggot".

That aside, Marguerite is lovely.

Love Marguerite. If I wasn't saying my children with a mouthful of a hyphenated surname (and I'd had a girl!), I'd have considered it.

I love the nickname Rita

Margot. I love Nancy. I love Maggie too btw. Marguerite is the only one that makes me think of a pizza or a cocktail

Daisy.

That's the nn for Marguerite...
