Margot or Hermione...or something else?

Trying to decide on a girl's name for DC2; boy's name is sorted. What do you think of these two names? I was definitely decided on Margot for a while - DH and I like the sound of it and it has a nice link to our shared past too. We also like Hermione too, a d would probably shorten to Mimi when she's little. DS is Frederick (Freddie). Any other names you can suggest if not one of these? It can't begin with a C as doesn't work with surname. Thanks.

Ooh, thanks everyone! Glad you like it. It sounds feisty, yet glamorous to me. Like a 19 30s film heroine!

Much prefer Margot to Hermione. Margot makes me think of Margot Fonteyn, Herminoe makes me think of Harry Potter...

I am biased but I love Margot! I say go for it!

Thanks, and for the suggestions too. I think I like Josephine the best from your list. Perhaps we should stick with the plan and go with Margot.
