Margot or Mary?

[Thatsnotmybabyname]

I love both of these names, which do you prefer? Thank you.

[KoalaDownUnder]

Mary. Beautiful.

I know Margot is having a surge, but I don't like it. I hate the hard 'g' sound in the middle, and it reminds me of maggot.

[Mclaren37]

I prefer Margot. Love it. We have one. I like Mary a lot too though.

Margot

I like both! My friend has a Mara too which is Mary in Scotland which I love

[Sophronia]

Mary

[grufallosfriend]

Mary is so much prettier and feminine.

I dislike Margot esp pronounced Mar-gott.

[smilingsarahb]

I like both, but Mary is the nicer of the too. I think Margot might be a bit of a current fad which is a shame as it's a nice name.

[Sugarpiehoneyeye]

❤️ Mary.

[EnjoyYourVegetables]

Mary for me.

[Mombie2016]

Margot.

[indigo13]

Both, but Margot is slightly nicer

[ClaryBeanHorshAndMe]

They're both nice. But I think I prefer Margot.

[piefacedClique]

I have a Margot. Everyone comments on how unusual it is. Maybe consider the alternative spelling margaux if you want to be diff. I like it but my brother told me I was being precocious!

[grufallosfriend]

Margot reminds me of escargot and maggot.

Mary is beautiful.

[Reow]

OP are you due this month in RL? I think we may know each other.

[Jooni]

Margot

[SuperBeagle]

I love Mary.

Can't stand Margot. Echo the thoughts of PPs re maggot.

[Awwlookatmybabyspider]

Mary.

[HateSummer]

Is margot pronounced mar-got? Or Margo?
It always reminds me of a hyacinth buckett type character from the Victorian age.

Mary is timeless isn't it.

[Awwlookatmybabyspider]

As far as I'm aware the G is silent, so Margo. I could be wrong though.

[marmitecheesetoast]

Mary is beautiful, have always loved the name, so classic and timeless. Not keen on Margot I'm afraid.

[MitzyLeFrouf]

For me Mary has too many religious overtones. It’s my middle name and the middle name of every girl I grew up with too. But if you didn’t attend a convent school for 14 years you probably don’t have the same associations!

I prefer Margot. It has a cool 1940s vibe. And it’s not frilly, always a plus.

[Hellofromme]

Don't like either but Mary is worst.

[ArseyTussle]

Margot of course. She is witty, stylish and cosmopolitan.

Mary is a bit lumpen.

[Logolphin]

Margot!
