What do you think of the name Margot?

My friend had a horrible Step mother called Margot so part of me hates the name for that reason but the other part really likes it.

I'm also of the age where I think of the good life. However to be fair, margot Robbie is very famous and I doubt anyone thinks of Penelope Keith when they see her.

I like it. Could use the French spelling: Margaux.

CakeRattleandRoll · 20/07/2017 15:50

I like it.

MikeUniformMike · 20/07/2017 14:59

I like it.

Jooni · 20/07/2017 14:39

Really like it

Jerry & Margot from The Good Life.

I imagine someone in their early 50's wearing a housecoat with a G&T in one hand and a cigarette in the other. 'Oh, Tom!'.

Not keen at all. Never met a real life one although popular on here.

Depends if you think she will grow into it. It's a grown up name, doesn't work on a baby but that doesn't matter, she's only a baby for 5 minutes. Can you imagine her as a teenager, an adult, an old lady? It's quite grand.

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 20/07/2017 14:05

Lovely!

sofreakingtired · 20/07/2017 14:05

I really like it, but it's the same style/era as the name I picked for my DD.

Erratica · 20/07/2017 14:04

I think of Penelope Keith in the good life. Ok if you're French though.

ScarletSienna · 20/07/2017 14:04

I read 'Maggot' whenever I see this name! However I actually like the sound so I'm not sure.

KoalaDownUnder · 20/07/2017 14:04

It is popular on here but I don't like it. I don't like the hard 'g' sound, and the look reminds me of maggot.
