I go by Meg. My legal name is Margaret. My ancestors were Scottish. I grew up on the Irish South Side of Chicago. The number of people who insisted that Meg is not a nickname for Margaret and insisted on calling me Megan…. I’m the fifth generation to have my legal first and middle names. The nickname was bestowed by my grandmother in honor of her mother, who also went by Meg…. And she was born in 1888 in Scotland. But do go on about how the Irish own the name. 🙄
