Media personality Chrissie Swan, and her partner, Chris Saville, welcomed their daughter Peggy on March 26, and her birth was announced on Channel Ten’s The Project. Peggy Swan Saville was born in Melbourne at 9.15 am, and joins big brothers Leo and Kit; Kit’s birth was reported on the blog in 2011.
UPDATE: Chrissie has revealed that her daughter’s name was originally going to be Josephine, and was actually named Josephine for twenty minutes before she and Chris decided to be “brave” and go with something “a little bit different”.
I think they made the right choice, because while royal Josephine is trending upwards like nobody’s business, retro Peggy is bang on for style, as short forms of Margaret become ever more fashionable.

I love the way Peggy, Leo and Kit go together but I personally hate the name Peggy it reminds me of pegs and the nickname is Peg
I guess there might be other people who feel that way too. The peg thing doesn’t bother me, because pegs aren’t negative in any way – they’re homely and useful.
LOVE Peggy! I don’t know what it is about this name, but I just adore it. Leo and Kit are gorgeous too, and make an adorable sibset. Welcome little Peggy 🙂
I think it’s fantastic, but it’s very polarising – the same number of people vote it as either “Perfect” or “Not my style”.
I love this sibset! Cute and retro. Congrats to the lovely couple.
