Help[Opinions] Re: Middle name for Margaret?
in reply to a message by Solunastra
Is there a box for "All of the Above?"
Margaret is such a terrific name. It runs the gamut from meat-and-potatoes sensible to lady-of-the-manor refinement. And the nn possibilites are endless.
From your list, if I have to choose, Margaret Helen gets my vote just to see the look on your mother's face when she learns. :-) Margaret Elena would be s nifty twist if you're still not settled.
I try to avoid using Georgia in the mn position. Margaret Georgia sound more like a place than a name. [But I'm odd that way. It may come from the fact that here in Washington State (U.S.) we have a town named George, Washington.]
Personally, Margaret Alice is my favorite combo. Margaret Cecily and Margaret Eleanor round out my Tudor Megs nicely.

I see your point about Margaret Georgia. My main critique of it is not that it sounds like a city, but that the gret-Geor flow is a bit harsh. Georgia would be after my father-in-law, George, though, so it would get double points for family names.
Margaret Elena is nice! As are Margaret Alice, Margaret Eleanor, and Margaret Cecily. Margaret Cecilia could be nice too. I know DH and I both like Cecilia.
