Margot or Marlowe as baby sister for Archer?

[Mclaren37]

Which baby girl name to you prefer; the more traditional Margot - or the more alternative Marlowe? We're still looking for the right baby girl name, to go with our son's name which is Archer (nn Archie sometimes).

I know you have not asked for my opinion but I would tend towards slender vowels in a girl's name and broad vowels for a boy.
Margot sounds like a hefty young one.

What?? So girls should have slender names now? Heard it all now .

Margot is about a thousand times better than Marlowe.

Slender vowels.

I still don't understand? You said 'Margot sounds like a hefty young one'. What does that even mean?

SoDiana means that Margot sounds like a fat girl's name.

Like that well-known fatty, Margot Fonteyn?

No. Sodiana thinks that margot doesn't sound feminine.

Marlowe matches Archer more as a surname type name. I think it's quite trendy sounding too - have there been some celeb baby Marlowes recently?

SoDiana - the dog in the film was called Marley.

Thanks everyone! A lot of you seem to be kind of of the same opinion as DH and I, that Margot is the nicer name but that Marlowe 'goes better' with Archer. I keep asking people the same question and hoping for a different answer! But no, this really is the case! Hmm. We've always loved Margot so I think we'll probably stick with it, even if it doesn't make the best pair. Our DS does get called Archie a fair bit while he is a toddler, so I guess that works ok with Margot.
(On the celebrity name front, yes it was Sienna Miller who named her little girl Marlowe - personally, of the surnamey-names, I think Marlowe sounds more feminine but I suppose they can all swing either way.)

Sodiana because you think girls shouldn't be 'hefty'.

Margot by a mile

Marlowe is a fab name... And I know one (who is a girl!)

I think it's the best by miles.

Why does it have to "go" with Archer? More important that it goes with her surname surely?

If the names suit the children, then what's wrong with having Zaphod Beeblebrox and his sister Elizabeth Victoria?

I like both but they seem very different names.
Margot, classic but can be nn Maggot. Works better in other languages.

Marlowe, sounds feminine to me, much quirkier name.

My db's friend 'Mal' actually has the Christian name Marlow. I only found out recently had thought for the last 20 years it was just a nik name relating to his surname but ....no.
