Comments for PEGGY:

It is such a popular name for me. I guess I know at least 3 Peggy's already.

I've always known this is a nickname for Margaret but I've never known why. Where do they get Peggy from? :/

One of Loretta Lynn's twin daughters is named Peggy. (Her sister is Patsy).

I don't like the name Peggy. It sounds like someone weak and reminds me of Miss Piggy from the Muppet Show.

This sounds like a pirate's name and it reminds me of a piggy.

I don't mind Peggy actually and I've always known it for a short form of Margaret not Meg.

My sister was named for singer Peggy Lee in 1948.

My sister's given name was Peggy, but a neighbor insisted for years that her "real" name was Margaret.

I can sort of see where Peggy would come from Meg, which certainly comes from Margaret. It's kinda hard to make the connections, though.

I have a "step-grandma" named Peggy. And it isn't short for Margaret. It's just Peggy.

In medieval times, it was common to make pet forms of names by replacing the first letter of other pet forms. That's where we get Bob from Robert (Rob) and Dick from Richard (Rick). Meg is a pet form of Margaret. The M was replaced by a P, and the 'ie' sound added at the end. That's why Peggy's short for Margaret.

I like the Gaelic spelling - Peigi - better than Peggy. I think it is a much prettier spelling.

When I hear this name I think of a little girl in the 50's, wearing mary-janes and pigtails.

This name has grown on me, and now I really like it! It's old fashioned, in a good way, and spunky, too. I like it as a name on it's own, since Peggy would be kind of an obscure nickname for Margaret, I would think.

Peggy Hill is the wife of Hank Hill in the cartoon show King of the Hill.

I have always found this name very ugly. It makes me think of pecking and pigs. It also brings to mind an obese, middle-aged or old redneck wife.

Peggy is by far the most hideous nickname for Margaret possible. I don't even understand how people managed to get Peggy from Margaret - the only thing they have in common is the 'g' sound. Maybe I hate this name so much because being a Margaret I was teased with this nickname in grade school. Peggy should be banned as a name from the English language.

Peggy the piggy. This name sounds like a good name for a pig. It's a rather hideous old lady name which I can't imagine coming back for a long time.

-- bananarama  11/15/2008

Cute! This name is due for a comeback.

-- vomiting  3/13/2009

Very ugly. I always think of chickens (maybe because peg sounds slightly like peck) when I hear this name.

-- -Julia-  7/23/2009

Because the name was popular a long time ago, it seems like only older women have it nowadays. Therefore, I think it has an 'old lady' stigma.

For heaven's sake! No one's mentioned "Peggy Gordon", the folk song? I am SHOCKED!
