What could Maggie be short for?

38w pregnant with DC2. Have some names on a list but not sure if I love any of them yet. This evening I've decided I really like Maggie but DH will need a long form for the Birth Certificate (yes, I know, I think it's stupid but is a non-negotiable for him - DS has a 'Sunday name' for when he's naughty)

Margaret is a bit close to a very close family member - are there any other obvious longer forms to consider?

Magdalena/ Magdalena?

BeanieTeen · 29/07/2022 20:08

Also thought Magdalena. Magda can also be a name on its own. Margot instead of Margaret?

Spidey66 · 29/07/2022 20:09

Margarita? Though sounds like a pizza or cocktail.
Megan?

Marjorie
Margarita
Margot

Magdalena, marguerite

Cos she’s got little legs?

Magenta

Oh I wonder if I like Magda, hadn't thought about that @BeanieTeen

I love Marigold @Fivesixseven8 but DH traditionally not into floral names

Marguerite is pretty @MammaWeasel

I grew up with a Maggie who was known as Mags.

Marguerite
Margarita
Imogen ( though that could be Moggie )

ElizaSkye · 29/07/2022 21:07

I have a Margo and whilst we don’t call her Maggie (Margi if anything) some family members do (in a cute way)

Only others I can think of have been mentioned.Magnolia?
I do think Maggie could be stand alone though

FlissyPaps · 29/07/2022 21:47

I know an Agnieszka who would get called “Aggy” and some others called her “Maggy”

HobnobsChoice · 29/07/2022 21:52

I know a 4 year old Magnolia who gets called Maggie. Her sister is Juni short for Juniper
