My mum is called Peggy, as was my grandmother. It is a variation of Margaret.

It is rumoured that all women called Margaret have a peg leg - hence Peggy. I'm saying nothing - but there does happen to be a telegraph pole missing in our street and I have the devil's own game to find shoes. LOL Mags xx
