I used Elizabeth an a middle name for family reasons. I wouldn't use it as a first name because Elizabeth is so much more beautiful than its short forms that I'd rather keep it that way.I would happily use Margaret as a fn; none of the Margaret people I know has used a nn as an adult, and most aren't too bad anyway.Margaret Lucy Jane
Margaret Georgina
Margaret Ruth

Elizabeth Phoebe is a pairing that crosses my mind a lot too.

I like Margaret, because I love the meaning, the nicknames, and how it's a bit frumpy and old fashioned. My great grandmother's name is a variant of Margaret, too. I've never thought of how to pair Margaret.... Maybe something short, light, and youthful?Margaret Lily came to mind right away. I do like Lily in the middle quite a lot.

Hmm, hard choice. I think I like Margaret because it’s more uncommon. Meg would be a cute nickname, imo.
