I was checking BTN for diminutives and didn't see Molly, which I thought was a form.  When I looked it up it said Mary.

I voted for Margot.

I know a 7 year old Margaret and 90% of the time, we call her "Mags." The other 10% she is Maggie.

All of the Mollys I know are named Molly.

OP, I don't particularly like any of the nns. To me, Margot is a name, not a nickname. Id just call her Margaret.

Not saying Molly isn't a full name too, just that is a known nn.

Margot, Molly, Greta, Rita, Mae, and Daisy are all "full names," but they are also used as full names. Not everyone wants to use them as formal names, though, or always use Margaret [which is a long name].

Ugh, it's not letting me quote for some reason.  But I meant to put just Margaret as an option.  I will go add it now.

Most of the more popular diminutives have been used as formal names for quite awhile now.  This is true with many of the old fashioned names that have eleventy million nicknames to offset the fact that so many people shared the same name, like Elizabeth.

Maggie will probably be what everyone dubs her. My great grandmother was NN Peggy, though.

Daisy! I have a good friend who is Margaret but has always gone by Daisy. I think it's adorable. Second faves are Maggie and Molly.

My grandmothers name is Margaret and everyone has called her Peggy her whole life.  If I were to ever name my daughter Margaret I would probably nm her Margot.  Only because my cousins aunts name is Maggie and she is a complete nut job!!  But if it weren't for her I would vote Maggie!
