Help[Opinions] Re: Margaret
in reply to a message by Llewella
Well, I really like it, and I imagine a young girl with dark hair.
This is the poem I associate with it:
http://www.tetrameter.com/hopkins.htm
(it's actually called Spring and Fall)
Maggie spoils it I think. Where Margaret is understated, solemn, and timeless, Maggie is harsh, childish, and modern. I prefer it without a nickname, but my favorite nickname for it is Mar. Meg is kind of cute. I think Daisy as a NN for it is silly.

That poem is rather dark and depressing. :/
I do agree that Margaret and Maggie have quite different feels to them. I would agree that Maggie seems childish, and it would likely only be a childhood nickname, but I think it's soft and has a simple pioneery feel. Mar is really cute. I've never really thought of that before. I also really like Meg and would probably use that some. I too think Daisy is a silly nn.
