My first name is Margaret. I was named after my grandmother on my mom's side and great-grandmother on my dad's side. Everyone calls me called Maggie, the name I use, all the time. Friends call me Mag, Mags, Magnadoodle, Magsy, Magda. My grandmother's nickname was Mugsy :-) As a child, I used to think Margaret was meant for elderly ladies. But now that I am 28 and about to have my own children, I find it very neat that I was named after two amazing women. Plus, I rarely hear "Maggie" anywhere.
