Greta vs. Maggie vs. Margaret

My husband’s grandmother recenly passed away, and Margaret was her name. I like both Greta and Maggie as nicknames for Margaret, but I don’t really like Margaret itself. Could I name my daughter one of these nicknames and still have it count as honuring his grandmother? Or should I name her Margaret for the sake of tradition but plan to always just call her by either Greta or Maggie? And which do you prefer as a nickname for Margaret: Greta or Maggie? Sorry if this is confusing! -Beth

Help! I love the name Guinevere, but I can't think of a really good brother and sister name for her. Since Guinevere is so empowering, I want the next names to be powerful as well. Thanks, Genie!
Baby Name Genie:
You seek the Holy Grail of names. Let me help you in your quest. The brother of fair Guinevere will fight on foot with swords aplenty, but on his horse he'll surely lance a lot. Name him Edward for a regal name. A sister could be dubbed Katherine if greatness is what you desire.
