[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?

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?

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

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?

i love the name Gemma. How do you pronounce Mairead?

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.

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 like Meg as a nn but I also don't know which full name to use. I only think of Margaret and Megan and maybe Margareta, Margarita (better not) ehm yeah that's it.
