This list shows names in 2020 of similar popularity to Margot, if that helps. It's just from one newspaper, but one with a very widely-used 'births, marriages and deaths' section:

www.britishbabynames.com/blog/popularity/

If you scroll down the above webpage, it also has a fascinating list of baby names from official government satistics, ranked by age of mother.

AntiHop · 04/02/2021 11:00

All those names are beautiful. I'd chose Gabrielle.

Squiffany · 04/02/2021 10:55

Before I opened the thread I though Celine.

samanthawashington · 04/02/2021 10:52

Don't worry about names 'going together'. More important is a name you like and what suits the baby. Maybe wait until she's here and see what suits her?

LaBellina · 04/02/2021 08:44

Emmy, Elodie or Emily
Ghislaine (I know, Ghislaine Maxwell is a terrible example but the name Ghislaine is still lovely)
Valerie
Violette
Isabelle

Bubbles1st · 04/02/2021 08:44

Eloise

Firebird83 · 04/02/2021 08:39

Lemonlemon88 · 04/02/2021 02:42

I like Nina the best from your list. Anna goes well too.

How about Rosa or Sylvie?

JustanotherTuesday · 04/02/2021 02:26

Celine is the best one from your list. Someone mentioned Estelle, I actually think that goes together really well with Margot.

clpsmum · 04/02/2021 02:21

Penelope

SmeleanorSmellstrop · 04/02/2021 02:15

Oohh missed Celine off the list, I also love Celine. i'd choose Nina, Elise or Celine.

SmeleanorSmellstrop · 04/02/2021 02:14

Nicole
Amy
Gabrielle
Nina
Anna
Celine
Madeleine
Elise

Margot is reallt cool and most of your names like dont go! Amy and Nicole are dated and dull (one of them is my name Grin) and Gabrielle and Madaleine are too frilly and also a bit dull compared to Margot. With Margot I'd pair a name with a similar feel - sort of vintage and a bit sassy! Like Eliza or Nancy or Tess.

Of your list, I love Anna, Nina and Elise but Anna is too plan next to Margot. I'd choose Nina or Elise!

How about Lucienne, a pretty french name I discovered recently? Or Zelie (a French name taken from St Zelie Martin, St Therese of Liseux's mother). Or for another 'm' name I like Manon, think it is just as cool as Margot! Or for a name with a similar feel to Gabrielle, Raphaela/Raphaelle is less common and I also think this is really cool.

partyatthepalace · 03/02/2021 23:18

I think Anna is the best match - has a classic mid century cool like Margot

Actually that’s the only one I like!
Madeleine is nice in itself but too twinny with Margot, Elise and Celine I think only work if you’re French (though Celena/Selena I think would work), Nicole and Gabrielle are dated, Nina and Amy are little girlish.

I’d go with Anna, I really like it, but other thoughts - Lois, Lauren, Laura, Lena, Sarah, Felicity, Diana, Selena, Oona, Frances, Stella, Celia

BluebellCockleshell123 · 03/02/2021 22:58

Out of your list I like Celine best. How about:

Celia / Cecilia
Adele
Estelle
Julia

DitzyFakeBlonde · 03/02/2021 22:38

Oh I love Margot and Aubrey (not a typo of Audrey), loved the names but DH wasn’t keen.

A few wildcards
Amara
Eloisa
Elodie
Persephone
Seraphine
Ophelia
Sabine

Sophia and Eloise as suggested by PP’s

CeibaTree · 03/02/2021 22:37

I know two Margots, one has a sister called Esther and the other has a sister called Pearl. Both sound nice together. From your list I like Anna the best.

Restawhile · 03/02/2021 22:24

Daphne
Felicity
Sylvia

FedUpAtHomeTroels · 03/02/2021 22:24
