Margot or Phoebe?

I think of both of these names as strong names, which would suit a child and an adult.

I don’t like frilly or ‘unique’ names but i’m not looking for a name in the top 30 either.

do you like either of these names?

what other names may i like?

I prefer Phoebe personally. Margot is quite nice but I wonder whether it will date badly as it’s having a sudden resurgence with the Barbie movie.

Phoebe is top 30 in UK if that bothers you and Margot is shooting up the charts.

I like both names quite equally and would be struggling to decide too! Does one sound better with your surname?

I like Phoebe

Margot reminds me of maggot but I still quite like it.

How about Alexandra, Elizabeth, Harriet, Georgina, Georgia, Eliza, Sophia or Sophie?
