I love my name, even though I don't really think it fits me -- it's too flowery. I just want to let everyone know that there are lots of annoying nicknames that can come from Marguerite.
Here are a few others have actually called me: Meg, Meggie, Margarita (like the drink), Margaret, and Marge (from the Simpsons)!-- Elvenscholar 11/15/2006

I got this off of an online French dictionary:
"Marguerite Noun, feminine (a) Marguerite, (oxeye) daisy;"
I had heard that Daisy was a nickname for Margaret. This explains how that happened.-- RedGyl 10/11/2007

This was my great-grandmother's name. I think it is very pretty. Not too over-the-top, not too plain. Sweet and just right.-- blondieboo629 8/14/2011
Marguerite doesn't mean "daisy" in French. A Marguerite is bigger than a daisy. The French word for daisy is "pâquerette".-- Destry 1/2/2012
It's a beautful name that reminds me not only of the lovely big "marguerite daisy" with its summery feel but of medieval French princesses. Margot makes a good nn, anything but Marge or Maggie.
I just read this rhyme:
In search from A to Z they passed,
And "Marguerita" chose at last;
But thought it sound far more sweet
To call the baby "Marguerite."
When grandma saw the little pet,
She called her "darling Margaret."
Next uncle Jack and cousin Aggie
Sent cup and spoon to "little Maggie."
And grandpapa the right must beg
To call the lassie "bonnie Meg."
From "Marguerita" down to "Meg,"
And now she's simply "little Peg."-- Anonymous User 4/19/2012
