Have a while to decide- but what are thoughts on Olivia Margaux ?

Why are you spelling Margaux like that? The only place I have seen -aux is in French, where is denotes a plural. It doesn't make any sense to me.

@Tillygetsit, you're not going against the grain, you are going against the flow. Against the grain is when you go against your own inclinations.

Just spell it Margo.

Tillygetsit · 30/06/2020 22:45

Going against the grain, I prefer your spelling as in Margaux Hemmingway. Gets away from the maggots!

Margeaux makes me think of a lovely big Black Forest Gateaux.

SallyWD · 30/06/2020 22:38

I love it. Olivia is a beautiful classic name and Margaux flows very nicely with it.

SallyWD · 30/06/2020 22:38

I love it. Olivia is a beautiful classic name and Margaux flows very nicely with it.

Elouera · 30/06/2020 22:35

Sorry, but I always read Margot as Maggot!!! Also really dislike the spelling Margeux, as I find it a really ugly. Not sure why, but just dont like the name.

Olivia is better, but also extremely popular.

pandar · 30/06/2020 22:31

I love it. Does Margeux have significance for you? Even if it doesn't i still love it, just curious as it's different. X xx

pilates · 30/06/2020 22:21

Dislike Margaux, prefer Margot and Olivia is very nice

bridgetreilly · 30/06/2020 21:33

Olivia Margot or Olivia Marguerite would be my preference.

DramaAlpaca · 30/06/2020 19:35

I like Olivia. I don't like Margot myself, but it does flow nicely with Olivia. I'd use the Margot spelling as Margaux is a wine.

daisypond · 30/06/2020 17:57

I like both Olivia and Margot - that spelling. They go well together.

FizzyGreenWater · 30/06/2020 16:52

Both perfectly nice names but Olivia is so overused, sorry - I wouldn't choose it.

I love Margot and Margaux too, know a couple spelled like this.

Anna Margaux or Anna Marguerite would be a good example of trying to get away from Olivia to a 'similar' kind of name which isn't so madly common.

AdaColeman · 30/06/2020 16:19

Olivia is pretty, but already very popular.

I don't like Margaux, and I'm not keen on Margot. What about Marguerite which has a similar meaning?

HalfBloodPrincess · 30/06/2020 16:03

Its lovely OP.

mamablondie2 · 30/06/2020 15:34

Olivia is so overused, but if that doesn’t bother you then yeah it’s nice enough. I feel like it’s the kind of name that isn’t really going to get a strong reaction either way though tbh.

Spied · 30/06/2020 13:35

Really dislike Margaux however it's spelt.
Any other mn would be an improvement imo.

Olivia is nice.

Sunnydayshereatlast · 30/06/2020 13:35

Hoping your surname doesn't start with G...

MikeUniformMike · 30/06/2020 13:32

Olivia is so overused that it is a bit meh. Margaux is an ugly spelling of a not particularly nice name.

Whatsyourflava · 30/06/2020 13:18

Love Olivia

LotusClover · 30/06/2020 12:39

I really dislike Margot and Margaux but Olivia is lovely.

CuppaZa · 30/06/2020 12:10

Not keen on either

Itsjustabitofbanter · 30/06/2020 12:10

There’s 3 Olivias in my daughters class. And there’s a new girl starting next year, named Olivia Grin

Babyroobs · 30/06/2020 12:04

Olivia is lovely but I don't like Margaux.

Limpid · 30/06/2020 12:03

Margaux is horrible -- Olivia Margot is fine.
