Magda seems incomplete to me. That said, I actually love Magdala, more than Magdalena, but you almost never see Magdala in the real world. :-(

I like it, but it does always remind me of the housekeeper Magda on Sex & the City that found Miranda's sex toy and then organized her bedside drawer.

I love “clunky” names like this. Magda, Agnes, Agatha, etc. are some of my favorites.

I think Magda pairs best with a longer, more fluid, slightly frilly feeling middle:

---

Magda Celandine
Magda Cosette
Magda Celeste
Magda Alexandria
Magda Rosemarie
Magda Henrietta
Magda Ondine
Magda Viviana
Magda Christiana
Magda Estella

I liked Magda as a nickname for Magdalene or Magdalena, but it sounds nice on its own too. I think that it can be a less religious alternative Magdalene, because Mary Magdalene.

Magda Rosalind, Magda Leonore, Magda Eugenie, and Magda Guinevere are my favorite.

It's not insubstantial. I like it. It's cute and unusual. Magda Rosemary is beautiful. I also like Magda Emmeline. I would pair it with something soft in sound because the gd in Magda is a bit harsh.

It's cute, I like it!

My favorite combos are:
Magda Celestine
Magda Emilie
Magda Emmeline
Magda Leontine
Magda Rosalind
Magda Vivienne

I don’t like it. It sounds kind of dated and dorky to me.

I prefer Magdalene or even Magdalena or something. Magda isn't necessarily bad though. I can see it somewhat usable I guess. It does make me think of my closest cousins whom I grew up with (They are siblings). Their initials in birth order actually spell out this name. Kinda neat IMO! (:

Magda Beatrice, Magda Juliet, Magda Lillian, Magda Vivienne sound the best to me.

I like Magda. I agree with your impression of it; I don't think it seems insubstantial at all because the sound is so assertive. Maggie is a nice possible nn but you wouldn't need to use it since Magda isn't very long. The combos I think sound/flow best are:

---

Magda Bryony
Magda Eleanor
Magda Eveline
Magda Guinevere
Magda Lillian
Magda Marguerite
Magda Muriel (I'm really into alliteration lately)
Magda Violet
