Do these names go together?

Do you think the names Margot or Cecelia go with Archer? Looking for little sister names!

I think they're different stylistically from Archer, which is more of a surname-type name.

Great to hear thanks everyone! I like actually Cecily too... definitely need to practice saying them all out loud togetherSmile

I like both! I think "Margot Cecelia" would be lovely...though I do like the nickname Cece... Hmm, depends what your surname is.
Both suit Archer, try shouting them both together, see which feels easiest to say! Ha

KlingybunFistelvase · 16/02/2017 10:28

They all go well! I'd go with Margot or Cecily (don't like Cecelia very much - somehow a bit matronly sounding compared to Cecily which I love)

indigo13 · 16/02/2017 10:24

Love them all!

JanuaryJuniper · 16/02/2017 10:10

I think they both go nicely and agree with previous posters that I think Margot works best with Archer. I think they make an lovely, memorable and interesting set!!

MrsMeeseeks · 16/02/2017 09:13

I don't like the non French Mar-gott pronunciation

Whaaaat? People have started pronouncing the 't'? That's terrible.

OP, both are lovely names but I think Cecilia is more timeless. Margot seems to be having a bit of a popularity spike atm.

Jooni · 16/02/2017 08:20

Both are lovely and sound fine with Archer. I'd lean towards Margot too I think - cool but chic Smile

BroadcastHouse · 16/02/2017 08:05

They sound like characters out of a 1930's American novel.. Fitzgerald or HemingwayGrin. Particularly Margot and Archer!

Joeybee · 22/01/2017 23:21

I think Cecilia and Archer go better. But both names to me are brilliant, they have been on my list for a long time!

Mclaren37 · 22/01/2017 05:26

I love Archer. I think either names works well.

Carnabyqueen · 21/01/2017 09:58

Both seem a bit try hard.

Yes, both go beautifully.

Archer and Margot. Margaret on the birth certificate.

I really like Margot and Archer together. As pp said they're both quite vintage. We have also considered both of these girls names. I slightly prefer the spelling Cecelia over Cecilia. Either name would be great.

Barefootcontessa84 · 19/01/2017 11:02

Also like Cecilia best out of the two- to me, Margot is a bit 'of the moment' - Cecilia is an underused classic and has a different sound altogether from Archer.

Barefootcontessa84 · 19/01/2017 11:01

I think they go together. Archer is not a modern name - my great-grandfather was Archer, born in 1886.

MiniMaxi · 19/01/2017 10:11

I like Margot & Archer

Stonewash · 19/01/2017 09:58

I think Cecilia goes best.

Grufallosfriend · 19/01/2017 08:57

I also prefer Cecilia.

I don't like the non French Mar-gott pronunciation

KoalaDownUnder · 19/01/2017 05:33

I prefer Cecelia (spelled like that, ideally) because I adore the nn Celia.

Not loving the '-go' part of Margot.

I think they both go perfectly well with Archer.

Marilyn yes Archer is the older brother - sorry not clear! If we go down the Cecelia route then we need to decide which spelling to use, I've seen both options and can't decide. I like CeCe and Celia from Cecelia, but I like Cecilia too. That's a whole other postSmile. I think we're veering toward Margot right now, but it changes every day.

MarilynWhirlwindRocks · 19/01/2017 04:08

OP,

Last post, promise...

Cecelia with an e rather than i also gives the option of NN Celia, of course; out of curiosity, is that why you prefer it? I've not come across that spelling before.

SoTiredSoWorried · 19/01/2017 04:07

I like Margot
