Since I have been out of ideas on what to blog about I went to NaBloPoMo where they have a whole list of prompts you can write about. I went through the list and chose this prompt: Do you like the name you were given? Is there a name that you think would suit you better? It was the only one that seemed like fun to write about.

Derived from Latin Margarita, which was from Greek μαργαριτης (margarites) meaning “pearl”, probably ultimately a borrowing from Sanskrit. Saint Margaret, the patron of expectant mothers, was martyred at Antioch in the 4th century. Later legends told of her escape from a dragon, with which she was often depicted in medieval art. The saint was popular during the Middle Ages, and her name has been widely used in the Christian world.
Other saints by this name include a queen of Scotland and a princess of Hungary. It was also borne by Queen Margaret I of Denmark, who united Denmark, Sweden, and Norway in the 14th century. Famous literary bearers include American writer Margaret Mitchell (1900-1949), the author of ‘Gone with the Wind’, and Canadian writer Margaret Atwood (1939-).

I love my name. I have always liked it because there was only one other girl with my name so I never had to worry about tons of people having my name. The only thing I don’t like about my name is the spelling of it. It is too long and spelled very few people ever spell it right the first time and some even after years can’t seem to get it right. They always spell it Margret. I was named after my mom’s mom so one of my grandma’s. I don’t really know the lady that I was named after because I had only seen her when I was little and I don’t remember her at all from then.
