Third middle name for Margot Viola?

[Marquez]

Genevieve
Caroline
Hermione
Clementine

which of these is your favourite? I love them all but can't seem to decide. Does anyone have any other ideas? We can't have anything ending in -a or -o. We want something strong and classic that has been used as a name for quite a long time. Genevieve is exactly right but unfortunately has some negative connotations for me. Caroline and Hermione I love but am a bit worried about having three names with an 'o' sound. Also love Clementine but worry that it is too frilly after Viola, want something strong and classic.

Dh has already vetoed Emmeline and don't feel we can have Guinevere as we already have an Arthur.

Sorry, that should be "that has been used as a name in England for quite a long time".

I also really like Genevieve because it flows the best.

Some other ideas:
Coralie
Christine
Delphine
Melisande
Helene
Evangeline
Rosalie
Mathilde
Josephine
Vivienne
Hero
Ariadne
Blythe
Susanne
Isolde
Clemence

I love all your the suggested names (especially Caroline and Hermione).

I really dislike Margot (Mar-gott?), it sounds quite harsh in comparison.

Wow thanks for the suggestions, I especially like Isolde and Mathilde.

Margot is pronounced MAR- GO (the t is is silent!)

I like Clementine best from your list. Or how about

Beatrice
Xanthe
Jane
Harriet
Louisa
Frances
Katherine
Juliet
Cecilia
Rachel
Felicity
Susan
Clara
Gabriella
Elspeth
Pearl
Sylvia
Isabelle
Ruth
Georgina
Saffron
Corinne
Estelle
Henrietta
Penelope
Meredith
Zoe
Theodora
Isadora
Jennifer
Naomi
Octavia
Alexandra
Anastasia
Carmen

I would stick with just the one tbh.

Margot is only pronounced Mar-go in French. It is Mar-gott in German and Dutch.

So, I'm not sure why it would necessarily be pronounced the French way in English. Of course you can insist on that pronounciation, but beware that some might pronounce it differently.

How about spelling it Margaux - that would make the pronounciation clearer.

Not too sure about margaux- to me that is a slightly different pronunciation. marg-aue as opposed to mar-go.

Traditional in dh's family to have 2 middle names

*mar-gaue

We had Margot Celeste on our list. Margot is fab. Think I like Genevieve best.

I thought Margot was just pronounced Mar - go, I don't think its that ambiguous.

Margot is an awesome name. If I have DD she will be Margot - I think a one syllable third name would be best

I agree about a one syllable third name...

Margot Viola Rose

Margot Viola Jane

Margot Viola Leigh

Hope you find it! Margot is lovely :)

What about... Iris.

I have only skim-read but I know a Lara Violet Grace which sounds similar - I think kitty91 said that one syllable is better and tbh I agree.
HTH

Why does anyone need THREE names???

For rhythm's sake, I say go for two syllables with the 2nd one stressed eg

Margot Viola Mathilde
Margot Viola Celeste

Is it Vee-ohla or V-eye-uh-la in your case?

dude, just pretentious in the extreme - i hope your proper posh or your kids gonna get it at school

Custardo - can't believe it took this long for someone to say that ?!

It's viy-oh-lah.

Custardo- pretentious name in itself or having 3 names? It's traditional in dh's family to have 3 middle names and plenty of my friends do too, don't see it as pretentious at all personally although obviously others may disagree.

OP - are you a Chalet School Fan? I remember a Margot and a Viola being characters..

Haven't heard of chalet school! Books? May have to research on amazon.

I've got a Margot

And no-one has ever mispronounced it

(misspelt it, yes, frequently!)

You are French, aren't you?

I have a German aunt called Margot and she definately pronounces it Mar-got.

I can see it pronounced Mar-gau in French, but would not necessarily pronounce it that way in English, just like I would say 'forgot' and not 'forgo', if that makes sense.

However, if I was told you'd want it pronounced without the t, then of course I'd try to remember.
