Be honest, what kind of girl does this name make you think of?

Margaret is sweet and classic and could pretty much be anything, given the myriad of nickname options here. ;) Love it!
Lee I'm not so fond of. Just sort of a blah, unisex filler, know what I mean? But I'm a bit biased, since it's my mother's middle name, and she's always hated it (shared by several other family members, mostly men). Sort of makes me hesitant to encourage it for anyone else, knowing how much she dislikes it, know what I mean? LOL
Margaret is lovely, though!
Edited to add: Gotta love the unfounded "old-fashioned" sort of comments. LOL For what it's worth, Margaret is actually quite a "modern" choice (never lower than 161 since 1880!). The definition of a classic, after all! Can't say it's ever gone out of style. ;) Marjorie, on the other hand, is barely in the top 1000, and is considered VERY dated at the moment.

In my opinion, Margaret is a kind of hard name for a kid--it's not very child friendly. I like the name, but I think some kids would be bothered by it's old-fashionedness and, of course, the nickname Marge, which sounds a bit matronly. I like Lee, though, and perhaps that could be a nickname as a child until she grows into the more adult 'Margaret.'

i like the name but agree with some of the others in that it is an old sounding name maybe pick a similiar name that is upto date or if it has some sort of family value put it as the second name. also, lee seems to not be very feminine maybe spell it leigh

Margaret is . . . fine. I agree with the first person who answered this question, though. Maybe put the name more up-to-date, but it's still a fine name.

Margaret is so cute but I think it would be nicer to have Margaret Lynn.

I like it. It's timeless, it's suitable for an adult and also she has several nickname options to go by as a little girl -- Meg, Molly, Maggie, Peggy. Wonderful choice. :)
