Can I have Edith and....

[ItsNotATicklingCompetition]

...Margot??

Its the only girls name DH and I both love but I'm really worried that when we introduce our DDs everyone will ask, "Where's Agnes then?'

We picked both names before Despicable Me came out....can we have them together or will we just get laughed at??

For the most part Margot (due Dec) would probably be known as Maggie but I'm still a bit worried - part of me thinks I shouldn't care what people may say but I don't want them teased - or DH to be nicknamed Gru!

Gah! Help!

I've never seen the film so I wouldn't notice, I think Margot is lovely

I wanted Maggie so badly for my DD but promised my partner he could pick the name for a girl

I love Despicable Me but wouldn't have made the link if you hadn't pointed it out

Haha.

Yes, you can use it.

No connection here as haven't seen it. Is is very well known?

Ooh looking hopeful then! Was fully expecting everyone to say I shouldn't do such an awful thing to my girlies!

Just hope everyone in RL doesn't notice/mention it!

What should I say if anyone does??

I have no idea what you're talking about! Great names, don't let a transient film/TV show (if that is what it is) put you off.

Just laugh and say 'that's a coincidence!'
I've not seen the film either, so wouldn't make the connection.
If you both love the name, go for it!

DCs are massive fans & the DVD has been played so many times here but I would never have made that connection. Both lovely names

Love the film though wouldn't have made the connection.
Great names!

Well my kids would consider it extremely cool I think, rather than tease them! Although they may ask where their dad's "cousins" are (The Minions).

I don't know the film but I love the names. Please don't be swayed because of the film characters!

I've never seen the film so would never make a connection. Gorgeous names!

Aah thanks everyone!

You have convinced me....and before anyone asks, there definitely won't be a third to be called Agnes x

If you like Maggie then how about Margaret or Margeurite as full name?

I've seen the films (and of ourselves noticed the Edith!) and although they're good ones, and will probably be around on DVD for ages, I don't think they'll creep far enough into general consciousness to be an issue.

And they are lovely names.

I thought You were going to say like Piaf or Rosewelt with Edith.

Margot and Edith are fine together IMO

I have seen Despicable me several times but I didn't make the connection.

I love the name Agnes

I like Edith too quite a lot really.

OP I think it is totally fine and rather sweet. Don't nn her Maggie tho.

I love Agnes too...

I also love Despicable Me but maybe I'm thick, because I didn't see what you were worrying about.
