Anna Margaux??

[beebeebumble]

Our DD1 is due in three days! My DH and I are sure we want to call her Anna - I think it's beautiful, simple and elegant. However because it is simple, we thought we'd give her a slightly longer middle name. We would like to stay quite traditional, but open to unusual suggestions! I think Margaux is sophisticated but sweet - DH is unsure.

Other options are Anna Blythe (not strictly traditional but I like it!) or Anna Catherine (bit boring so doesn't add much interest to the simple first name?). Any opinions on these welcome, or of course any other suggestions!

Thanks!

I rather like 'Margo'.I imagine baby Margo living in a loft apartment in Antwerp with graphic designer parents, industrial-chic lighting, cute stripy outfits and tasteful wooden toys

Chateaux Margaux is a wine. Girl's name is Margot. Anna Margot is nice

Came on, like a hundred others, to point out that Margaux = very nice red wine.

Anna Margo!

Why add the French silent 't' unless you're in France? Many languages pronounce it phonetically - I know a Swedish Margot, pronounced Mar-gott and also think it is pronounce that way in Germany and Austria.

But I agree about Margaux - again, why the French ending?

It reminds me of a character Margi Clarke used to play years ago with a strong Liverpool accent - Margaux, always pronounced as "Margocks"!

I have a Margot, i loathe the spelling of Margaux. I actually think it is ridiculous, someone suggested it to me when i was pregnant. Awful.

Margot is simpler, prettier.

Anna Margot is absolutely STUNNING, i wish i'd thought of it. Totally chic. Timeless.

Thanks all! Our Anna Margot was born very quickly on Thursday morning

Many congratulations!

Congratulations! Lovely name!

Congratulations!

Congrats OP!

Congratulations - really love the name!
