DD 3 currently called Sybil and although we like the name hubby and I just don't love it.
The dilemma we have is that Margot is the middle name of our second daughter and we steered away from using it for this reason however we both adore the name and are now unsure whether to pass up the opportunity of using this name on a daily basis?! We need to register the birth this Friday and would be grateful of your views/advice....Which name do you prefer?! Thanks!

Not keen on Sybil so prefer Margot but not that keen on it either - sorry. I would go with what you prefer though.

They are both awful. There is still time to get the baby book out

Maggie is very cute, Margot is ok, Sybil not really keen.

You adore the name Margot and only like the name Sybil. I would therefore change her name and wouldn't worry that it's already been used as a mn.

I like both. Tricky situation though. I'd go with what you feel most strongly. Make a decision, them you'll find out if you feel it's right.

I like Sybil. Not all keen on margot.

I prefer Sybil, I wouldn't re-use a name you've already given to another DC, even if it is a middle name.

I love Sybil, not so keen on Margot.

I prefer Margot.
Go with the name you love.
