[Opinions] Daisy (m)
in reply to a message by Lily8
Marguerite means daisy and both Marguerite and Margaret have the same roots, therefore people use Daisy or Pearl as a nickname for both - they are both directly derived from these names.

Margaret actually doesn't mean daisy. Marguerite is the French word for daisy, but Margaret isn't. Just because they are related doesn't mean they share a meaning. I mean the French word for daisy is marguerite, not Margaret, and they aren't even pronounced the same.

That isn't what I saidIf you'd read my post properly you'd realise this. Margaret and Marguerite both have separate meanings but come from the same roots - roots that mean pearl and daisy and therefore people use the nicknames Pearl and Daisy.
