Middle name for Margot

34 replies

We love this name - and plan on 'presenting' the name with Maggie as a nickname. But any ideas for middle name? Our firstborn has Violet so we had previously thought of Rose for this baby but I'm not sure it flows well with Margot.

Margot May?
Margot Mary?

How about Margot Rosalind instead of Margot Rose?

I have a Margot Frances, she's 2 in 3 weeks and her name has never had anything but a positive reaction.

Love love Margot Tabitha, but also like Margots Iris and Lily, and indeed Rose.

Laquila · 06/01/2014 08:50

LOVE Margot Rose and Margot Iris. Off the flower theme I also like Margot Miriam and Margot Frances.

MargotIris · 06/01/2014 08:41

It's dd :).

It's random we gave her a flower name but these all work really well.

MsJupiterJones · 06/01/2014 08:39

I like Margot Lily.

Ancient - thank you for your fab list. Actually when discussing the name earlier my DH felt that it needed o be more than one syllable as well - I really like Margot Tabitha from your list, it's gorgeous. I don't think DH likes Tabitha though but SURELY as I'm doing the 'work' I can reserve power of veto? Wink

Ooooo! MargotIris! A real one! I love your name - Is it yours, or your DD etc?

Right I've been sitting on my hands for long enough.

Margot is a shocking choice. Far too many people have been using it.

Coupled with Iris is a step too far.....

They'll be everywhere soon.

We do get a lot of compliments on the combo to be fair :D.

Good luck - you have fab taste ;). I love Margot Rose.

Margot comes from pearl so maybe not that though.

LittleMissRedSparklyBaubles · 05/01/2014 23:33

I like Margot Rose, but I also really like the name Mary - it was my gran's name and one of my sister's middle names - and am glad to see it seems to be having a bit of a comeback.

ancientbuchanan · 05/01/2014 23:30

Margot Grace
Margot Demelza
Margot Camilla
Margot Tabitha
Margot Rosemary/ Rose-Marie
Margot Lavender
Margot Beatrice
Margot Danielle
Margot Fenella
Margot Griselda
Margot Jasmine
Margot Lily

Suggestions, floral and otherwise, above.

I like Rose , but prefer Lily, or Lilias, or Lilian, ie more than one syllable.

Ah! Yes Tethers, good point!

I actually LOVE Margot Violet but I can't give both girls the same middle name. I'm swaying back to Margot Rose as well.

Argh, so many choices for my poor pea sized baby brain!

We have a Maggie Ann Smile

I like Rose best with your surname

I like Margot too.

If you're planning n Maggie as a NN, avoid May as a middle name unless you are a huge Rod Stewart fan Grin

Margot Pearl?

Queeniethecorgi · 05/01/2014 23:11

DollarDollarBills · 05/01/2014 22:56
