Peggy

[timinyday]

What do you think?

This will be the full name. Not short for Margaret or anything else.

Love it!!!!!!

I want it, but DH isn't convinced. My Nan is a Peggy too, also not short for anything.

I wish I could get DH to come round to it...

My first thought was Mitchell(from Eastenders) but maybe thats because I'm uncivilised, soap watching pleb

I had an auntie Peggy, she was a nun.

Go for Margaret. Gives her TONS of fab choices!

Peggy is a great name. I love it. Doitdoitdoitdoitdoit.

Unless, as Pinapple says, your last name is Mitchell. In which case, what's wrong with you?

Awful.

Lol Pineapple

There's a 15yo Peggy who lives 2 doors away from us.
I'd prefer Margaret with Peggy as NN myself, though.

I'd use Margaret as the birth cert name, but Peggy as a nn. I think it's lovely.

I would use Margaret with Peggy as a nn too.

I know a 13(?) year old Peigi (gaelic spelling) and it really suits her.

my first reaction was Peggy Mitchell, but I actually think it's quite cute for a little girl. I don't like Margaret though, see my other post!

Oooo, it's lovely.

Another one here with a grannie called Peggy- I love it too!

Thanks. Still won't be convinced on Margaret though.

I like it a lot. I love dinner-lady names.

I know a Meghan known as Peggy - she is fab.

DD was Margaret (as in Margaret from Litte Britain who lives upstairs in the shop) when she was inside, then became Peggy. I didn't call her that when she was born, but still think of it fondly sometimes. I announced it as 'Peggy's here' though before I decided on her name!! It's really sweet.

Hi-de-Hi!!!

I like weegiemum's spelling Peigi - a lot less cleaning/dinnerlady.

There's a baby called Peggy in Brighton.

Don't use Margaret though, that is a horrible name.

Sorry to say that I don't like it. I think it is one of the old lady names that is totally bizarre on a young child (know a 5yo called Peggy). I also know a 70 year old Peggy who is a total busybody who goes round terrorising everyone who lives nearby so perhaps my opinion is harsh. I do prefer Margaret and it does give more options and doesn't tie the child to Peggy.

Lol @ Peggy Mitchell. I always think Peggy Patch from Playdays...

Still working on DH to consider it.

Stick to your guns about not being short for Margaret

My initial links with the name are

my Grandmother was called Peggy,

Peggy in MadMen and she is a lovely character

Peggy Mitchell - Eastenders

Peggy Sue - the song

and Peggy Sue Got Married - the film

so 4 good ones from 5 isn't bad (Peggy Mitchell being the bad one), as long as you don't use Sue as a middle name

I think it is definitely set for a big comeback as people seem to be into 'old lady' names at the moment.

I love Margaret, Maggie, Greta, Margot, Daisy.... any of the nick names, except Peggy.

I'm not sure how I can love Maggie and hate Peggy. I realise that's not entirely logical. But there you are.

If you don't like Margaret how about Margureite (sp?)

I like Peggy very much. Go for it.

I love it, have been trying to convince DH but without success. Maybe I'll try him with Margaret but I really prefer just Peggy too.

Is your baby 80?

Granny name..... sorry its hideous!
