As I'm sure everyone around here knows, Margaret is like my favorite name ever and has been for years. I've never thought of it as an old lady name, really. It's such a beautiful name. I love the way it looks, and it sounds very sophisticated to me. I can picture it on almost any type of person, but mainly it makes me think of a girl who is nice and friendly, smart, athletic, creative, musical, scientific... pretty much successful at everything she does. And I really like the meaning too. And it's so classic, has history and some nice namesakes... I could rave about it for several more paragraphs, I'm sure. :)

And Maggie also happens to be my favorite nickname for it! I think it's so sweet and adorable and perfect for a little girl, although I can see it being used informally on a teenager, adult, and elderly person too.

We plan to name our first daughter Margaret nn Maggie. So you can see, I'm a bit partial to it. :)
