Just wanted to start off by saying this doesn’t actually matter to me but made me laugh that 2 of my colleagues were shocked today when they saw my 4 year old dd (Margot) and her brown hair, apparently to them Margots are exclusively blonde

I imagine Margots as having chestnut brown hair. Not blonde at all imo.

Stripy Margot is stunning.

Yes, they are blonde and have bouffy hair.

Names have hair colours. So some people don't suit their names. There's a boy in my class called Jacob, when his actual name should be Clayton. I'm thinking of speaking to the parents! Jacobs are not blonde as everyone knows.

No. I imagine Margots as auburn/brown haired with a turquoise headscarf.

LadyCassandra · 14/10/2018 12:29

The Margot I know has blond curly hair.
Weirdly, we had 3 names for DD before she was born, when she came out I said we could call her Clara because she was dark, Annabelle and Florence are blonde!

OatsBeansBarley · 14/10/2018 12:12

No but she should have straight hair. T'would suit her best in a long bob.

Margots are definitely a brown hair maybe red head name.
😂 I thought this was just me as when I described Georgia as a brunettes name my friends were like 🤔

flamingofridays · 14/10/2018 11:30

No! Its a lovely name though!

mumtothebabes123 · 14/10/2018 11:29

I think it suits all hair colours 😍
I have a 4 month old Margot who was born with a full head of dark hair
I'm pretty sure she will go golden blonde like her older brother tho!

ScreamingValenta · 14/10/2018 11:21

No - definitely a dark-haired name in my head. No idea why!

YeOldeTrout · 14/10/2018 11:18

Margot Kidder wasn't blonde.

ladyratterley · 14/10/2018 11:16

Margot IS an excellent cat name! She’s gorgeous.

ItWasntMeItWasIm · 14/10/2018 10:58

Aww 😍

dontticklethetoad · 14/10/2018 07:37

You're all wrong. Margots are stripey. Sorry.

Do you imagine Margot’s as blonde?
ThursdaysChildHasFarToGo · 14/10/2018 07:32

I do... but only because my 2 year old Margot is bright blonde with blue eyes. My OH and I both have dark hair so we're not sure if it'll last or where she has got it from 🤷‍♀️ I expect in a few years she'll have dark hair too. What a funny comment from colleagues 😂

Pemba · 14/10/2018 04:05

Um, I don't really imagine a particular hair colour for a Margot. Trying hard to think of any names which do strongly suggest a specific hair colour ...... Your colleagues are nuts!

ladyratterley · 13/10/2018 22:25

Err, no. They are idiots if they were genuinely “shocked”.

Teakind · 13/10/2018 22:22

No, it makes me think of an elegent beauty. Lovely name

SoupMode · 13/10/2018 21:35

In my head Margots have dark brown hair.

kennelmaid · 13/10/2018 21:17

Margot Channing (Bette Davis) in All About Eve had red hair. It was a black and white film so don't ask me how I know that.

Deliphant · 13/10/2018 19:48

Leadbetter was blonde, as is Robbie - so they're right really.

DramaAlpaca · 13/10/2018 19:47

Margots have dark hair, without a doubt.
