CONTEXT: "Margaret" and near linguistic cousins were extremely popular names in Medieval Europe, specifically England and France, to the point where of the 43 people (and 8 women) here, four of them are Margarets (and most of them were related one way or another). Peggy is probably a bit anachronistic, but it too is a form of Margaret.

You mean both Homer Simpson and Al Bundy married a Margaret ?

Wait so Breakfast At Tiffany's is based on a true story?

I didn't have this solely pegged as almost entirely a reverse teragram.

No sir, it's Peggy, not Pegged.

Hey now, y'all, I didn't put the NSFW tag on this one. 🤣

edit ohhhh now I understand, ed-AIfication will never serve as a worthy replacement without the y.
