Help[Opinions] Meg?
I really am starting to like the name Meg, but I don't think it works as a full name. I don't like Margaret, but can't think of any other names for the nn Meg. Any suggestions? WDYTO Meg?

Miguela is enchanting! I've never heard of it before. It's going on my mong list right now. Too late for copyright. :-)

Ugh, I hate Meg - and being a Megan, I feel I am justified in saying it. ;) I don't let anyone call me Meg at all. I don't like my name, but I like Meg even less. Always have. I'm not sure why.
Margaret and Megan are the only ones I can think of with the nn Meg. Oh, maybe Megara? She was the love interest of Hercules in the Disney movie. I've always liked that name, though I wouldn't use myself because it's too close to my own name, lol.

I love Meg. It's simple, uncomplicated and down-to-earth.
How about Mairead, nn Meg? Others:
Magdalene / Magdalena
Margery
Margit / Margaid
Magnolia
Marigold
Germaine
Gemma
Melanie Grace
Morwenna Glynis
any three name combination of the letters M.E.G.
Some of these are a stretch, I admit. But to me nns are the place to let your imagination run free; creativity is a plus in the nn department. You like?

Mairead is the modern Irish form of Margaret. It is pronounced, "ma-RAYD" / "muh-RAYD." It rhymes with the English word parade.
The older Irish form has a "g" in it, but it's followed by an "h" that makes the "g" sound silent. When the Irish were simplifying their spellings in the 1920's they went with the more stream-lined Mairead spelling.

I'm not a fan of Meg. The only name I can think of with Meg as a nn is Megan.

I also love the name Meg, but I personally feel it can stand on it's own as a full name. What about Megan, nn Meg?
