“Yes, I am sorrowful that my name didn’t make the shortlist for Greg Phillipson’s grandchild (C8). Please let him know that Margaret is very versatile, despite being considered relatively old-fashioned. It means a pearl, which is quite nice, I think, and has a variant in most languages. Sincerely, Marg, Meg, Margie, Margarita, M, Maggie Hamilton of North Sydney.”
