Margot - is it too popular? Any alternatives?

We like the name Margot and the nickname Maggie, but are conscious that it has really risen in popularity in recent years. Would welcome thoughts on whether you think it is too popular and risks becoming overdone?

And would be keen to hear any suggestions of classic pretty names that are similar but maybe slightly less popular!

Thanks!

I don’t know any little ones called Margot -
it’s really lovely, and Maggie is a great nn.

I wouldn't say it's too popular as a parent with 3 under 8s I've never come across one.
If you like it use it.
