Too close to "pig".
It’s one of those hideous old lady-ish names that I can’t see coming back for a long time.
Even if it's outdated, I like this name. I find it very original.
Surprised nobody has put about the shortened form of 'Pegan'. I can see why some people wouldn't like it but I find it very classy and I wonder why people don't name their daughters this more. Most people called Peg in the early 20th century were actually called Pegan.
I've heard of families calling their daughters Peg (for Margaret), because it was tradition to name girls after their mothers. Therefore there would be several Margarets in one family- and several nicknames to differentiate- Maggie, Meg, Peg, Peggy. Since we don't pass on names like that any more, Peg sounds a little odd and outdated.
Peg Entwistle (1908-1932) was an actress who famously committed suicide by jumping off the Hollywood sign (then Hollywoodland).
I get why this name comes from Margaret. Peg rhymes with Meg, and Meg is a short form of Margaret.
"Peg" is an awesome song by Steely Dan! So I guess the famous bearer is the woman being sung about. ;)
This is a good name for a dog with a fake leg.
This is also a wooden pin pushed or driven into a surface.
