Excellent name

XBenedict · 07/03/2013 20:03

Love it!

FiveGoMadInDorset · 07/03/2013 20:03

I really like it.

BinarySolo · 07/03/2013 20:04

One of my pet ducks is called Margot, as was my baby massage doll. I loved The Good Life.

Mintyy · 07/03/2013 20:04

Fabulous name!

I knew a real life Margot in the 70s (when I was a child, I hasten to add). Very "Good Life".

Proper name. I love celebrities that use proper names. Far cooler than naming them after a fruit.

Snazzynewyear · 07/03/2013 20:05

I like it!

Ginebra · 07/03/2013 20:05

I love that name...it makes me think of a little girl in a book...

SpaghettiBologneighs · 07/03/2013 20:40

Love it, was on my girls' list.

JazzAnnNonMouse · 07/03/2013 20:51

I don't like it - all I can think of is the lady from the good life!
At least it is actually a name though and they haven't called her mars bar or something equally ridiculous!

BeeBopDingALing · 07/03/2013 20:55

Horrible.

LuluLovesYou · 07/03/2013 20:57

Oh cute Lyra and Margot go nicely! I didn't even know she was preggers.

IAmLouisWalsh · 07/03/2013 20:59

Lovely

EchoBitch · 07/03/2013 21:01

Appalling.

EchoBitch · 07/03/2013 21:01

Almost as bad as Morag.

Chubfuddler · 07/03/2013 21:02

I love it. Margot Fontaine, Margot Ledbetter.

ClaraBean · 07/03/2013 21:15

I love Margot (and Morag!), I see a few of them popping up now, beautiful name. Not so keen on Lyra, but they make a lovely sibset!

MadBraLady · 07/03/2013 21:15

Love.

Penelope Keith is such a great comic actress to have made that character so appealing. The others all had nice characters to play.

mrsshackleton · 07/03/2013 21:19

Horrible name, hugely in vogue with various Sloanes of my acquaintance right now.
