Marguerite
WDYT of Marguerite? I think it sounds beautiful yet strong, and has a bit of an exotic feel to it.

Very beautiful, underrated and underused. It is on my shortlist. I like the combo Philippa Marguerite but it is adorable as a fn.

I adore Marguerite! It's easily one of my favorite names.

Despite not being wild about the "reet" sound at the end, I do like Marguerite. Still, I much prefer the nns for Margaret and Marguerite than I do the names themselves.

Old Marguerite poemAn old poem, but a good one: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."

I think it's prettier than Margaret but lacks a bit of Margaret's charm.I know a girl named Marguerite nn Maggie. :)

it's beautifulI prefer it to Margaret by far. I like Margarita too, but it has a flashier, glitzier vibe.

Marguerite is growing on me, and I agree with you--beautiful, strong, and a tiny bit exotic is a good way to describe it. While I doubt I'll ever like it as much as Margaret and Margo, it's a good name.

It sounds nice. Just don't use Marge as a nickname.
