[Opinions] Re: Margaretha
I like Margaret very much and would use it as a mn; it's very hard to avoid nicknames for Margaret and I don't much like any of them, so I would avoid it as a fn.Margaretha is long, and I dislike the rhythm. MAR-ga-RET-a, like Isabella, works much better without that final -a. Where I live, nobody would say it as if the -reth- rhymed with 'breath', so that's OK, but in other parts of the world I imagine they might.
