Which order?

Baby girl due any day now...and still not 100% there on her name! What do you think either Margot Grace or Grace Margot?

My son is Henry William (named after a grandfather on each side) and I love both his names...struggling more this time round! My grandmother was Margaret so would be nice to honour her too :)

@firsttime17 actually there is a Margot in my sons class at Nursey at the minute, it doesn't bother me though. Grace is a top 20 name so no doubt there would be another Grace in the class at some point too!

Grace Margot seems to flow better.

Grace Margot... margot seems to be very popular where I live at the moment and seems to be in fashion so there may be a few in your little girls class at school x

Margot Grace.

Aveenobrazeeno · 14/08/2018 14:36

Margot Grace - Margot is way more interesting imo, Grace is a bit twee and unoriginal

Greeneyedgeek83 · 14/08/2018 14:36

Margot Grace is beautiful

padfootprongs · 14/08/2018 14:26

Margot! I love love love the name Margot, it would be my number one name if I were to have a DD.
I'm not so keen on Grace, I think that's because it reminds me of someone that wasn't too nice in school though!

Henry sounds very English and Grace does too. They go well together.

Margot, either Mar-got or Margo, doesn't fit with Henry imo.

Margot Grace

Mishappening · 14/08/2018 10:50

Grace first - definitely!

Unfortunately Margot makes me think of "The Good Life" and the dreaded Margot Leadbetter. That is a sign of my age!!

Margot grace. Lovely names.

raspberrysplit · 14/08/2018 10:44

And RedDwarves I think you mean subjectively.

raspberrysplit · 14/08/2018 10:42

Margot Grace

RedDwarves · 14/08/2018 10:31

Grace Margot. Objectively, Grace is a much nicer name than Margot.

Thanks all!

We would be pronouncing it and spelling it the "French way", as above - which I think is the English way too! I believe in Germany/ Scandinavia they do pronounce it as a hard "t"...

They're both lovely names, I know Grace is a very popular middle name, it was never intended as a "filler name" but is my husbands first choice as a first name!

I prefer Grace too, unless you're French and pronounce Margot the French way.

How else could you say it?! Please tell me there aren't people going round calling their children Mar-gott.

Grace Margot.

It's nice to hear Grace as a first name instead of a "filler" middle name.

Peachbubble · 14/08/2018 08:16

Margot Grace gets my vote

mumtothebabes123 · 14/08/2018 07:42

I have a boy called Henry And a newborn girl called Margot!
Everyone loves their names 😉
