Excuse me, this question may belong on Words-L but I got to wondering the

other day how did the nickname Peggy get associated with Margaret?



Please feel free to answer privately and not waste ADS-L bandwidth if this is

too obvious a question.

i've always wondered this too (and my 3rd name is margaret, so i have

a stake in it) so i hope someone will reply to the list.



i've always assumed margaret -- meg -- peg (but why would that

last step be taken?)



best,
