Understanding the Context

Gabrielle is beautiful! I love Gabrielle Rose. Classic and sweet. I also love Gabrielle Victoria, Gabrielle Christina, Gabrielle Mae, Gabrielle Jane, Gabrielle Katherine, Gabrielle Francesca, Gabrielle Elizabeth, Gabrielle Cecilia, Gabrielle Bridget, Gabrielle Margaret, Gabrielle Claire/Clara, Gabrielle Maeve, and Gabrielle Fiona.

Key Insights

I was wondering if any of you had considered using some of the older, more vintage nicknames for classic names even if they don't necessarily sound like the original. For example: Margaret nn Daisy Mary nn Molly or Polly Sarah nn Sally or Sadie Charlotte nn Lottie I think several of these are adorable but I'm curious to see what y'all think. Anna is the most beautiful, IMO. Claire is my second choice. I dislike Molly.

Final Thoughts

Unless you name her Margaret or something so she can have a more formal name for her resume. DD's name is Lily Margaret (margaret is OH's mums name) Names I like: Girls Cora Ava Bethany Dakota MN would be Marie. Boys Zachary Noah Kaleb MN- Thomas (OH's name) or Stephen (my dads middle name and my brothers name) I dont mind whos family name is used as a middle name. Think my fav sibset is Lily and Zachary? Open to suggestions thou ... Margaret is the only name I've ever heard that uses the NN Maggie.

I'm a Megan and I've never had anyone call me Maggie before but I have heard stories. Both are family names for us. Other Mary names I've known and liked include: Mary Elizabeth (called Mary Beth, Mary Lib, or Mary Liza) Mary Winstead (Mary Win) Mary Stuart Mary Katherine (Mary Kate) Mary Brent Mary Ellis Mary Margaret Mary Hayden Mary Mitchell I personally really like the combo of Mary with a family surname. Very Southern.
