Margaret, Morag or Jean?

[soundsystem]

Margaret would get shorted to Margot, Greta or Peggy, depending on which best suited her.

Morag would just be Morag. (Though DD1 has suggested she might call her Morag the Toerag)

Jean might become Jeannie.

Give me your thoughts, please!

Definitely Margaret but doesn't go with Charlotte as a middle name. I always thought Margaret Rose like Princess Margaret was beautiful.

Margaret is terrible. And anybody that was unfortunate enough to be saddled with that name will tell you so!

I like Margaret (but hate Margot especially if pronounced Margott). I also like Margherita.

Hate old fashioned names for babies. It’s so try hard.

All horrible old lady names - sorry.

Haha OP : you really do need to listen to people in London saying Katie Morag more! No one will say it the way you do and your ears will hurt. The English way of saying names is the very reason I didn't call DS Alexander.

All I can hear in Morag is RAG!

Jean, lovely (a bit coloured by the fact that one of the best people I know is a Jean!). Also goes best with Charlotte.

Margaret - good strong classic, plenty of great nicknames.

Morag - agree with pps, unless you’re planning on living in Stornaway, the pronunciation will be harsh, although it is a good, strong name.

OP they're all great - another vote for Jean here. Some hilarious comments about "old-fashioned" names - as though the currently very popular Ruby, Harriet etc etc weren't once seen as dated. Soon there'll be a few harridan Great Aunts called Lilly-Mae around anyway!

My DDs both have names that you might have an aunt called and don't seem to be suffering with them. We think they're great.

But OP have you considered Evie/Eva/Ava or maybe Mia/Mya/Maya? Every class needs a few more of those...

Are you giving birth to an old woman?

I would not want to be called ANY of these names.

Morag is horrendous.

I know it’s not the same name at all but Myfanwy at ds school gets mercilessly mocked for her name......kids can be cruel.

There are so many lovely vintage names that I can't comprehend naming a child Margret (thatcher/moody Margret) or Jean which is just awful. It makes me think of someone with a short choppy grey haircut, not a child.
Morag is the least bad but only in a northern accent. What about Nora instead?

Definitely not Morag! It even looks ugly how it's spelt. Margot is cute.

I think Margot is much uglier than Morag.

I prefer Margherita!

Jean is gorgeous. I love it.

Jean / Jeannie

And here is a cute & fun name
(Jayne - get's Jaynie as nickname)
