Trying to decide on a girl's name for DC2; boy's name is sorted. What do you think of these two names? I was definitely decided on Margot for a while - DH and I like the sound of it and it has a nice link to our shared past too. We also like Hermione too, a d would probably shorten to Mimi when she's little. DS is Frederick (Freddie). Any other names you can suggest if not one of these? It can't begin with a C as doesn't work with surname. Thanks.

I love Margot. Would have been on my shortlist if a close friend hadn't used it already.

Margin after the fabulous Margot Ledbetter (she of the amazing wardrobe and sense of style).

Much less likely to date than her mine.

Margot is lovely. Do you like Miriam, nn Mimi?

We have similar taste in names! DD1 is a Hermione and I liked Margot a lot for DD2 but DH didn't. I would say I haven't for one moment regretted using Hermione, we get the odd Harry Potter reference but it's really not very often and I am kind of glad that HP means most people know how to pronounce it nowadays. Either way in my opinion both names are lovely, elegant buy strong, I don't think either are too common or just a trend!

Thanks for all the feedback. Good name choice snowdrops!
Thank you for the other name ideas wornout - I like a lot of those.
