"Margaret"
editYes, "Maggie" is one of several nicknames for "Margaret". It does not follow, however, that everyone called "Maggie" is actually named "Margaret", especially in a cartoon.
Is this discussed either in-universe or in a reliable source? - SummerPhDv2.0 16:54, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
- Yes, this was confirmed in "Mother Simpson" [1]:
Homer: I don't like your attitude, you water-cooler dictator. What do you have in that secret government file anyway? I have a right to read it. Bureaucrat: [spinning monitor around] You sure do. Homer: [reading] "Wife: Marjorie. Children: Bartholomew, Lisa" -- aha! See? This thing is all screwed up! Who the heck is Margaret Simpson? Bureaucrat: Uh, your youngest daughter. Homer: [mocking] "Uh, your youngest daughter".
- Also in Home Sweet Homediddly-Dum-Doodily [2]
Homer: Well, wait a minute! OK, I'm not going to win "Father of the Year". In fact, I'm probably the last guy in the world who should have kids. I - [the judge looks at him sternly] Er, well, er, wait...can I start again? Fathering children is the best part of my day. I'd do anything for Bart and Lisa! Judge: And, er, Margaret? Homer: Who? Lady, you got the wrong file. Marge: [whispering] It's Maggie!

Inspiration for Maggie
edit"She was based on Popeye's baby Sweetpea, if you remember from the old Popeye cartoons."
"Suck Suck"
editHow much of a copyright nightmare would it be to include a sound file of her "suck suck"? Americanfreedom (talk) 20:36, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
Future Maggie?
editThere are episodes that project into the future, where Maggie appears as a young adult, speech and all. Shouldn't there be a section on this? Koro Neil (talk) 02:42, 12 November 2023 (UTC)
