[Eleta]

Like, dislike, neutral? Any thoughts welcome

Well my middle name is Margaret, but I don't like Maggie much tbh - if it was my first name I would prefer the nickname Greta...

but that is just me

(not my first name anyway!)

Negative - because of Thatcher (also child of the 80s) Sorry.

love it

my mum is margaret

she is called Rea though

margaret is mine and dd's middle name

I love it

Simpsons, thatcher, maggie and the ferocious beast ...

not to my taste as a name either really.

But as I always say if you like it then you choose it

prefer margaret to maggie if I'm honest

I really like Maggie. It's v. sweet. Not Margaret though. I think that's a bit stuffy.

Margaret/Maggie has been on my list of girls names for 4 years now but only had boys. I love it.

love Margo, and think Margaret and Maggie are classics and nice.

I'd really like it were it not for Thatcher

That ruins it for me sadly, but you have to go for what you want, not some person you never met!

Aww i think its really sweet!

Not sure that i would use it myself though ...

Maggie, Maggie, Maggie, Out, Out, Out!

Sorry, another child of the '80s.

I really like it (particularly after reading Mill on the Floss) but the Thatcher thing puts me off, plus DH is five years older than me so it's an even stronger association for him. Pah.

Thatcher also puts me off it.
Not bad though. What about Margot instead?

Nah, Thatcher...

You want a Maddie instead...

Quite a nice name, and it's trending up in popularity in recent years: www.babynamespedia.com/meaning/Maggie

Will become popular with the actress Maggie Gyllenhaal, being in the Dark Knight, mark my words.

nice name but there is the maggot factor.

Margot is a nightmare name, i can confidently say. no one can pronounce it or spell it.

is fab
reclaim it from thatch

i like it, wanted my niece to be called this, because she looked like a maggie but they went with Ayesha instead. tut, these parentas that think they have the right to name their offspring eh!?

I am having a Maggie next time round, short for Marianne which i love but is a bit of a mouthful!

So yes its great go for it x
