[Opinions] Marguerite?
How do you feel about this name and the nickname Daisy? Any combo ideas?Also, what do you think of Nino? Do you prefer it by itself or as a nickname for something like Antonino? I'm liking it on its own right now... Combo ideas? Thanks!

I absolutely love Marguerite and like the nn Daisy.
Marguerite is beautiful and classy, and every time mum sees a pot of margeurite daisies in bloom she says she wishes she'd called me Marguerite.
It's a lovely historic regal name, borne by French princesses, and I say "Go for it!"

My baby sister's name :-)She is Marguerite Siena Catherine nn Daisy- so I am kind of biased. I think it is gorgeous.I like Nino better as a nn for something like Antonino. It is a little childish on its own.Sorry, I am feeling very uninspired today when it comes to combos. I might come back later and edit some in!

I don't hate Marguerite, but I definitely don't love it. It seems pretentious and I would feel like the girl would be catty and mean. Daisy really doesn't seem to fit as a NN, although I definitely prefer it to something like Margie.Nino reminds me of vino. Definitely use it as a nickname! That's why they're called nicknames... they're used as a short form of a more formal name that tends to carry a bit more heft.Marguerite Alessia

Thanks for your suggestions! I love Marguerite Ottoline and Marguerite Antonia. Marguerite means Daisy in French, and that's where we got the idea from. I now realize Marguerite may seem a bit pretentious without the backstory. My husband is from France, and is insisting that we use a French name this time around. He suggested Nino, which is a common first name on its own in his country, though I would like it as a nickname. I like Nino Renato and Nino Charles from your list.
