I have a good friend called Margot. It's a lovely name.

mewkins · 10/03/2013 21:59

Yy the Good Life. Also when I hear it in my head it's said with Lloyd Grosman's accent...

Margot pronounced the French way (mar-go) or the German way (mar-got)? Not sure I like either that much.

Love Lyra, hate Margot!

anonymosity · 08/03/2013 23:47

Lovely. And not overly-over done.

NorthernLurker · 08/03/2013 23:47

It's a lovely name.

OkayHazel · 08/03/2013 23:45

Love it! And I like Morag too :D

BabyRoger · 08/03/2013 22:55

Oh I really don't like it. I don't think Margot is a nice sounding name at all. It's almost as bad as Ethel.

noddyholder · 08/03/2013 22:54

Lovely

Gomez · 08/03/2013 22:52

Hideous. Trying too hard.

LynetteScavo · 08/03/2013 22:51

I like Margot better than Lyra.

Weirdly I would spell Margot Margo, because it's more like Mango than Magot. Told you it was weird.

DessieLou · 08/03/2013 22:43

ooooh, nice! Lyra & Margot sounds great. :-)

Maebe · 08/03/2013 10:37

Suprisingly, it's lovely. I always expect celebrities to call their children stupid names but Margot is gorgeous. And I love Lyra too.

SaggyOldClothCatpuss · 08/03/2013 01:35

Isn't it short for Margaret?

bootsycollins · 08/03/2013 01:03

Love it, I've just read Gone Girl which has a character called Go, was quite far into the book when I discovered her full name was Margot, it had been really bugging me (thicko emoticon).

mummanj · 07/03/2013 22:08

I think Margot may think her sister has the better name. Not to my taste. But lovely couple. Congrats to them.

Rhubarbgarden · 07/03/2013 22:07

Love it. Was on my shortlist.

EchoBitch · 07/03/2013 21:39

Morag's get called Mogie.

Almost as bad as Senga.

mrsshackleton · 07/03/2013 21:19

Horrible name, hugely in vogue with various Sloanes of my acquaintance right now.

MadBraLady · 07/03/2013 21:15

Love.

Penelope Keith is such a great comic actress to have made that character so appealing. The others all had nice characters to play.

ClaraBean · 07/03/2013 21:15

I love Margot (and Morag!), I see a few of them popping up now, beautiful name. Not so keen on Lyra, but they make a lovely sibset!

Chubfuddler · 07/03/2013 21:02

I love it. Margot Fontaine, Margot Ledbetter.

EchoBitch · 07/03/2013 21:01

Almost as bad as Morag.

EchoBitch · 07/03/2013 21:01

Appalling.

IAmLouisWalsh · 07/03/2013 20:59

Lovely
