Just a thought, but perhaps there were TWO Margarets in the family, and one was called Peggy to distinguish between them? I know a family where this happened. Janet East Northamptonshire

Not read your "Swallows and Amazons" then? Peggy was Margaret to her mother and Nancy was Ruth (because pirates are ruthless").

Or maybe he isn't senile! According to my birth certificate, Peggy is my name, not a nickname. :)
