I would like to name my daughter Megi (pronounce Maggie) but it is very rare name in Croatia so I'm afraid that children would tease her. There are only fifty people with name Megi here in Croatia. I was thinking to call her Magdalena so Megi would be a nickname but I'm not sure because i like Megi the best.

I love my name. Maggie screams unique to me, the only downside to being a maggie is that it rhymes baddly :( other than that I'm in love with my name

I LOVE being a Maggie. I'm just Maggie, not Margaret. The only downer is all the nicknames! Maggot, Magaroni, Mags, Maggles, Faggie, Magpie...the list goes on. I secretly like it though. I do get the whole "Hey! My dog's name is Maggie!" When I grow up, I'll have a dog named, Rachel or something, so the joke is on them ;) But I really do love it! It's so unique and It'suits my kooky personality perfectly.

My birth name is Margaret Ann, but I really prefer to be called Maggie. I don't really think Margaret fits me. Only when my friends tease me/ or try to get my attention, or when I'm in trouble with my parents am I called Margaret. My nicknames are Margo, Mags, Magpie, Magaroo, Magzilla, Maggie the Ferocious Beast, and Magdalena. I love Maggie and my friends say its perfect for me, and I wouldn't give my name up for anything! :)

My name is Maggie and I was named after the Rod Stewart song. A lot of people take liberties and call me Margaret, thinking they will sound smarter I suppose, but It's just Maggie. A few choice friends call me Marge as an inside joke (It'started that if I were catholic I'd be Sister Maggie Margaret). i've only met one other Maggie, and It's lovely to know that when your name is said someone is calling for you, not the 3 other Jessicas in the room.

My name is Maggie, not Margaret. I agree that it is commonly used as a dog name. However, I have never hated my name. I actually am very proud to say that I am Maggie. My parents got the name from the origin of Margaret and because of the'song "Little Maggie" sung originally by: Ralphy Stanley. It's a bluegrass song, but I love it. I also tend to find that people named Maggie seem to be more extroverted than people with oridinary names.

Those other comments must have come from people who didn't grow up in my part of the country. This is my name and I was born in 1986, and you can see from the chart that there were a zillion other Amys out there at that time. I always had other Amys around. I didn't like that it had to be paired with my last name or last initial when somebody was speaking to me. I lived in Central America for a while as an adult and this name was unheard of there, so nobody could pronounce it and I usually got Any (Annie) on their first try. Amy's a pretty name and it has a lovely meaning (beloved), but my parents just had bad luck on the timing.

My name is simply just Maggie. People describe it as usually a cute name and I often find that dogs are named Maggie. I guess the name'suits people with cute and quirky attitudes. I, however, am planning to become the dominator of the world and I beli've it does not suit me at all!! A villain named Maggie? BLASPHEMY!

My name is Marguerite, which is pretty unique i guess. I was named after my moms grandma but my dad only agreed to the name if he could call me Maggie after one of his favorite E.E. Cummings poems. I have met maybe ten Maggies in my life but had only heard of other MarguerIt's, often other grandmothe's, last summer I'met a little girl named Marguerite (also named after a grandparent) she was 6 and i was 18 at the time, we were the only MarguerIt's each of us had met. I like being a Maggie and im told it fits me wellthe nicknames listed in other posts are all common: mags, maggers, maggot (my brother called me that when we were younger), magpie, magacita, maggie may.... i love my name and how my parents came to name me. i think that the meaning pearl is neat and the meaning of marguerite is daisy, so daisy and pearl arent bad things to be associated with if u ask me :-) oh and the whole thing with EVERYONE naming their dog Maggie.... i dont get it, lol

Just named my daughter Maggie. My mum is Margaret but didn't like that enough to call my baby!! I think people thought I was joking when I was pregnant and said I was naming her Maggie but now she is 4 months and can't imagine her being anything else - it is different and I think it is brilliant!

I was born Margaret, but go by Maggie daily. For the most part I enjoy going by Maggie, but I wish that It'sounded as classic and elegant as Margaret did. I appreciate the fact that my parents named me Margaret, but call me Maggie, because that leaves me the option to go by Margaret later in life. When I think of myself fitting my name, Maggie reminds me of a young, outgoing, and athletic girl. My parents were influenced by St. Margaret, Queen of Scots, Margaret Thatcher, and my aunt. Good luck with your decision, I am sure you will make the right one!

My name is Maggie, short for nothing. I really hated it and wished it were Meghan (because that was more common) until I was probably about 18, now I love it. My ONLY problem is that I have always found It'slightly hard to pronounce...no one seems to know what I'mean when I say that, but I am a linguistics major, and the thing is, the vowel sounds around the "g" are pronounced in the front of the mouth, whereas the "g" is pronounced in the back, forcing the tongue to travel back and forth when saying it. Ok...but truly I do love the name.

My name is Maggie. It'sounds similar like my Chinese name. My familiy name'sounds like "meng". One of my friend who is a funny French guy said maggie is an old name. He calls me aunt maggie sometimes. but it is ok, it is still a sweet name because I am considered as a nice girl. It is us who have this name make it meaningful.

i've only known people with the nickname Maggie, along with MANY dogs. Though yes, my name is Maggie, my mom tells me I was named after the poem Spring and Fall by Gerard Manley Hopkins, where the name Margaret is used. My favorite nickname is Magpie, though I have plenty: Mag(s), Madge, Magster, Magarooni, Maggot. In my case, I was also given'the full name of Maggie Jane Parker, so when people find out my whole name I get a lot of Spiderman jokes, and sometimes Michael Jackson or Michael Jordan jokes when I used to go by M.J. The name is alright in my opinion. Sometimes I wish that my name was Magnolia, or Magdeline, or Magpie. People are always messing up It's spelling or asking if It's a nickname.

I was christened Margaret Mary but changed it to Maggie when I hit my teens in the 1982s. Until recently, I only know one other Maggie, about the'same age as me. I was thinking It's not such a good name as you get older but hey! three of my young friends have named their baby daughters Maggie so I wear my name with pride!! I get called Magsie, Margo, Marg (not Marge!!)Margie. I have always hated Margaret - imagine a stiff hair perm and twin-set and pearls!!

My name is Marguerite and I go by Maggie. I have been called Maggie since kindergarten (you can imagine how hard it was to spell Marguerite at 5yrs old). I love to be called Maggs or Maggie. But I do love my real name as it has history and meaning to it. I love old fashion names. There are too many Jennys, Nicoles, ETC in the world. I named my first daughter Margaret and her teacher calls her Maggie Molly Margaret because she cant make up her mind what she wants to be called!!!

Personally I cannot stand when people use nicknames as legal first names. Names like Maggie(my nm), Katie, Jess, Tom, and John are nick names NOT full names. I do actually go by both Margaret and Maggie depending on what it is that I am doing. With work or formal settings I use Margaret and with more casual settings I go by Maggie. The down side with Maggie is that it rhymes with some bad things. I remember once in high school I got so embarrassed because we had to read The Great Gatsby and people were laughing about the old fashioned names and of course my teacher had to point out how my name was just as old fashioned as the ones in the book.

Well my name is Makai and i like how there is a low amount of people that have this name. If you are going to name your child Makai, spell it like that. In the beginning no one can say it right but being in middle school it is a rare chance to get it wrong. I have never met another Makai, but i have met a Takai who was also born in September. I think the Kai name is kinda of like a September name

My parents named me Margaret after my grandmother. I preferred Maggie when I was younger. But as I got older, I got to thinking, EVERYONE who's name is Margaret knows It's an older name, so they might all be changing their names to Maggie. But, while they are going by Maggie, I will be one of the few going by Margaret (: I wish It'stood for something cooler than "pearl". D:
