[Opinions] Margaret
My husband has begun calling our second baby Maggie. Margaret is one of our top contenders, though I'm not 100% sold. The top three are Catherine, Elisabeth, and Margret.
Which do you like best?
Also, the combo we like best is Margaret Catherine, however I don't like the flow. Do you think the flow is very important. Does Catherine margaret sound better? What do you think bout Catherine margaret but going by the middle name?
Sorry for all these questions. I'm pondering pretty hard since my husband has basically decided he wants Margret.
Siblings are Rosemary, Stephen and Andrew.

I like all three contenders. But I think I might choose Margaret too, partially because it isn't as popular as the others. (Don't have time to check but I'm pretty sure).No I don't think Margaret Catherine flows terribly well, but it's not bad. But really I don't think the flow matters much, unless she goes by both names. Otherwise the mn is usually unnoticed anyway.Catherine Margaret, but going by Margaret, seems unnecessarily complicated. Might as well give her the fn Margaret, seems to me.

Margaret Catherine flows pretty well IMO, depending on the last name. Maggie is cute, thought Margaret isn't really my style. I like Margaret Elisabeth, better too, because I really don't likw Catherine

Catherine, Elizabeth and Margaret are all three terribly popular, but I definitely like Margaret (Maggie) the best. It sounds lovely with Rosemary as well, imo.

My mother is a Margaret - Margaret Elizabeth. Much as I love her, I've never loved the name Margaret. I do however love the nn Maggie, and Margot as a full name. Margot Catherine would be very sweet, and go so nicely with Rosemary! (And on a side note - Margaret and Margot mean pearl, which is sweet as it kind of 'fits' with Rosemary Pearl without being obvious :-) )
