Jennifer or Peggy?

[Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g]

Not for a real baby! A character in The Archers (Phoebe) has just had a baby and named her Margaret, but they plan to call her Peggy for everyday. This was Phoebe's great-grandmother's name. Peggy died earlier this year. Some listeners think Jennifer would have been better. That was Peggy's daughter's name, i.e Phoebe's Granny, who died two or three years ago. I think Jennifer is currently considered very dated, but Peggy is having a resurgence. Am I right?

Begw has grown on me, but Peggy is probably better known.

Peggy is great but it's my dog's name.

Mostly this has just made me feel old because I haven't listened to The Archers in years and I remember Phoebe being a baby

Phoebe being memorably born at Glastonbury of course (as listeners were recently reminded.)

I know a toddler Peggy. Both are nice. Jenny is very sweet.

She is going to call her Margaret and call.her Peggy day to day
I think Peggy is nice and Margaret has a lot of other nick names she can use instead of she chooses.
I like it more than Jenny and I also think it is more fashionable

I had a dog called Peggy, and I remember Phoebe being born. @DappledThings

Nice! What kind of dog? My Peggy is a cocker spaniel

JRT. I think you've incurred the pet tax. @DappledThings

Jenny is a pretty name.

Peggy is my fave fo the two.
Margaret is better than Jennifer.
Jen and Jenni are sweet.

There are also .. Maggie, Meggie, Greta, Daisy, Margo.

Peggy can easily be Peggy Meg or Peg.

Jennifer is awful and dated.

Margaret (Peggy) is lovely and modern.
