Just for fun 
My husband is in LOVE with names that are a nod to his alma mater, and his current favorite for a girl is Magnolia, nn Maggie (his choice) or Nola (my choice).
Too out there?
-
I love it, and I love both nicknames too.
-
It's cute!
-
I like it! It isn't my style, but I think it's a sweet name.
-
I love that name! The drummer from No Doubt named his baby girl Magnolia
-
I love it and like both of the nickname choices!
-
I like Magnolia and Nola, but not a huge fan of Maggie.
-
I have Magnolia with Nola as a NN on my girl list too.
-
I like it and I love Maggie!
-
Love Maggie, but much prefer Margaret over Magnolia.
-
I love Magnolia! We can't use it because Nola is our dog.
-
I love it! I really like Nola as a nn too.
-
I like it! I'm about as conventional as one can be with names so if I like it, it's definitely not too out there
-
I love the name and the nicknames! It's so pretty.
-
I love it!
-
Love it! We even know a 4 year old magnolia who goes by Nola!
-
I have a niece named Magnolia. She goes by Maggie, but I prefer Nola.
-
I like it. But I'm from New Orleans so it reminds me of home!
-
I like it. I think it's pretty and different without being weird. And I looove the nickname Nola!
-
Love it.
-
Love it!! I've always like Maggie but not Margaret so magnolia is perfect IMO!
-
My great-grandma was a Magnolia! I love it.
-
@Mamasig: My great grandparents were from New Orleans, so that's why I love it too
-
My husband dated a magnolia so I'm going to say "no."
-
I like it. It isn't my "style" per se but it is cute and I love Maggie for a nn.
-
Love Magnolia, was on my list but DH vetoed.
-
Love it! If we have a girl we plan to name her middle name.magnolia to honor my mom whos named Maggie.
-
I like it! Very unique but not weird!
-
I like both nn better than the actual name.
-
I like the name and a friend named his daughter Nola - not a nickname!
-
I like Magnolia with the nn Nola a lot! Maggie just isn't my style.
-
I love it. I've been trying to convince my husband for ages.
-
I love it!
-
I am obsessed! It's on our short list. Definitely
Nola for a nn.
-
I love Nola!
-
Love it and both of the nicknames.
-
Love it!
-
I like both! There's a street near us named Magnolia and I always think how cute it would be as a baby name.
-
I tried to convince DH to go with Magnolia for #2... It didn't work ;). I still love it, though!

This made me laugh because...well, more personal info than I usually delve into on here, but it fits so perfectly with your question, haha! This starts off sounding random but it doesn't make sense without the background. Anyways, back in my retail days I used to work in a store-within-a-store type setting selling high-end home theater products at a big electronics chain that I won't say the name of to make this less google-able, and that area was called Magnolia. So instead of saying "big electronics store" on my name tag, it said Magnolia in big letters, and then my name was smaller underneath. But most customers didn't realize that section of the store had it's own name, so they would just glance at my name tag and think my name was Magnolia. Literally every day I would hear, "Oh, what a pretty name!" or "That's an unusual name, but I like it!" Negative responses were few and far between. Customers often seemed disappointed when they realized they'd read the tag wrong and I actually have a boring popular name
Nola for a nn.
