I think it's absolutely beautiful and you should go for it!

I was going to suggest Marguerite nn Margot, but since you don't like nicknames, just Margot is perfect.

It's ok but I think it is definitely going to rise in popularity in the next few years, which may make it eventually seem dated.

Margot is the kind of girl that is effortlessly cool, in my imagination!
Margo is an Irish country singer, sister to Daniel O'Donnell so doesn't have quite the same impact for me! Sorry AuntyM.

really dislike it.

I used to work with an old lady Margaret who went by Margo - it just reminds me of her so I'm not keen.

Hintreppit · 23/07/2017 18:02

I adore it.

Mamabear4180 · 25/07/2017 20:58

I find it harsh and old lady ish. Sorry!

It's a lovely name :) like Margot Robbie!

guiltybystander · 25/07/2017 21:09

It's a name for old ladies and bespectacled librarians.

Love it, and with that spelling too.

Loki23 · 26/07/2017 10:28

Not a fan of Margot, but I love Maggie, and bonus you would be serenaded by Rod Stewart your entire life ;)

grufallosfriend · 26/07/2017 10:37

Margareta or Martha is nicer. Margo sounds masculine to me.

And I wouldn't spell it Margot unless in France.

Shockers · 26/07/2017 10:40

I love it!

The spelling Margaux is for the wine, not the name Margot (that is the French spelling). Margo is common in Scotland.

Not my favourite name or shortened form of Margaret but ok.
