I don't care for Margaret (I don't like the sound of it) or Helen (I think Helena is much prettier), but Margaret Helen does flow better than Helen Margaret (Helena Margaret flows, though). I know a Margaret (20-years-old) who goes by Maggie, because she hates her name. I don't think nicknames should be planned, but left up to the child, and if you don't like the name, but she does, then so be it. But, Maggie works, and you could try Meg or Marg. I like Margo as a formal name.

I have a question: why does your family demand a nickname?
