Also the name of the heroine in Gounod's "Faust".

My great-aunt's name was Marguerite. She was such a spunky old lady that I came to love her name.

Maya Angelou's character in 'I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings'.

I think that Marguerite is a beautiful name, and I also think that Marguerite is much more beautiful than Margaret.

"Marguerite" could have a nameday on Palm Sunday (the Sunday before Easter) - the day of flowers and willows (the names of the other trees also have a nameday).

In the 1998 film "Ever After" (starring Drew Barrymore and Dougray Scott), one of the stepsisters of the spirited Danielle was called Marguerite D' Ghent, the daughter of baroness Rodmilla D' Ghent-De Barbarac.

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)!

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.

Marguerite Patten (born 1915) was the first cookery expert to appear regularly on British television. She has written many cookery books and still contributes articles on cookery to newspapers and magazines!

A lovely alternative to Daisy, which is growing rather common as a first name again.

I work with a woman named Marguerite Duke, and Marguerite in French means "daisy", so yea she is "Daisy Duke", lol, anyway nicknames would be Marge, Margie, even heard Margo... so yea.

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.

Marguerite doesn't mean "daisy" in French. A Marguerite is bigger than a daisy. The French word for daisy is "pâquerette". [noted -ed]

It's a beautiful 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 nickname, 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."
