Not only does it look like Maggot but it will often be pronounced Mar-got.

So yes, Margo is better if you want that pronunciation.

I don't like it. It's harsh, and I don't like hard 'g' sounds.

I love Margot! Not hugely keen on the Margo spelling, but it's still a lovely name imo. I prefer Margaret though which is one of my all time favourite names.

DramaAlpaca · 10/12/2016 21:08

I agree with Koala, I find it very harsh. It's better than Margot though.

No it's not a real name. Margot is nice but if you've ruled that out keep looking.

Isn't Margaret like a name for older ladies? It's hardly a come back classic.

Margot hmm, not my choice but it's the in girly name on Mumsnet lately. Again sounds too old lady for Me. Sorry op maybe it's the area I'm from, just never heard of it other then for an older lady.

I LOVE it.

ScarletForYa · 10/12/2016 21:13

I really dislike it.

I find it frumpy, ugly and harsh.

ScarletForYa · 10/12/2016 21:14

I don't find it at all 'girly', it's like cargo!

PinkiePiesCupcakes · 10/12/2016 21:17

I can't think of anything other than Margot Leadbetter.

Pluto30 · 10/12/2016 21:21

Don't like.

Not even Margot Robbie can make this name attractive.

plannedshock · 10/12/2016 21:22

I have a Margot, so obviously I love it, only ever had lovely comments and shes yet to be called maggot (to my face) and when she's naughty I go full on "MARGARET!!"

Fostec1 · 10/12/2016 21:22

Love it, but love it even more if it's spelled Margaux.

Rinmybell · 11/12/2016 18:05

I love Margot. Margo looks a bit silly imo.

Madbengalmum · 11/12/2016 18:06

I just think of the good life, dont like, sorry
