Is it reasonable to assume that 'Margot' is the latest MN fad?

Personally I can't stand the name, it reminds me of maggot...but that's not the point!

Anyone else recall any prior MN fads? I'm sure Violet was one recently as well.

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I must be a mumsnet stereotype as love almost all of the names mentioned including Margot. It's definitely becoming popular in 'real life' as well. I know of two new babies called this in the last few months.

I don't understand the 'harshness' comments. You understand the T is silent?!?

My daughter is called Margot. Named before I'd even heard of Mumsnet and two years down the line has had no maggot references and only overwhelmingly positive responses to her name.

DB would've been called Margot if he'd been a girl, back in the 70s.

We found this beyond hysterical, tainted as it was back then by one Mrs Leadbetter.

I love Margot and Clara

Margot is really harsh sounding, not nice at all.

OutPinked · 24/08/2018 06:21

I like all of those names soph .

Margot is great. Reminds me of the film Margot At The Wedding.

Yeah I dont like Margot either! I've actually been really surprised so nice joining MN, how many old lady names I've seen 😂 some of them are lovely but some of them I'm like, really?!

Sophronia · 24/08/2018 02:47

Clara seems to be another favourite. I also often see Beatrice, Sylvie, Matilda, Cecily, Vivienne, Edith, Theodore, Edward, Arthur, Albert...

I agree. It's not a nice name, it's really harsh.

A while back everyone loved Noah, a very whiny name in my opinion.
