I really dislike the way Margaux looks but it sounds fine.

Margaux is fine as long as you're French, otherwise I'd go for the more standard Margot spelling.

Olivia is quite popular, but the combination is still lovely.

Love the name Olive but agree with the others re spelling of Margaux - prefer Margot

Oh sorry I misread Olivia as Olive! Olivia is ok but very very overused IMO - Olive Margot is a beautiful name!

Olivia is very very common. This may not bother you which is fine. It's a nice name.

I prefer Margot spelled like this and I'd go for Margot Olivia.

Margaux is horrible -- Olivia Margot is fine.

There’s 3 Olivias in my daughters class. And there’s a new girl starting next year, named Olivia Grin

Olivia is so overused that it is a bit meh. Margaux is an ugly spelling of a not particularly nice name.

Hoping your surname doesn't start with G...

Really dislike Margaux however it's spelt.
Any other mn would be an improvement imo.

Olivia is nice.

Olivia is so overused, but if that doesn’t bother you then yeah it’s nice enough. I feel like it’s the kind of name that isn’t really going to get a strong reaction either way though tbh.

Its lovely OP.

Olivia is pretty, but already very popular.
I don't like Margaux, and I'm not keen on Margot. What about Marguerite which has a similar meaning?

FizzyGreenWater · 30/06/2020 16:52

Both perfectly nice names but Olivia is so overused, sorry - I wouldn't choose it.

I love Margot and Margaux too, know a couple spelled like this.

Anna Margaux or Anna Marguerite would be a good example of trying to get away from Olivia to a 'similar' kind of name which isn't so madly common.

I like both Olivia and Margot - that spelling. They go well together.

DramaAlpaca · 30/06/2020 19:35

I like Olivia. I don't like Margot myself, but it does flow nicely with Olivia. I'd use the Margot spelling as Margaux is a wine.

Olivia Margot or Olivia Marguerite would be my preference.

I love it. Does Margeux have significance for you? Even if it doesn't i still love it, just curious as it's different. X xx

Sorry, but I always read Margot as Maggot!!! Also really dislike the spelling Margeux, as I find it a really ugly. Not sure why, but just dont like the name.

Olivia is better, but also extremely popular.
