Thoughts on Margot

[applepi3]

Is it too old fashioned?

[Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g]

I think Margaret may be better than Margot. What about Marguerite? There are so many other variants too: Margarita, Rita, Greta, Maggie, Mags, Meg, Meggie, Margery, Marjorie, Margie, Margo, Margot, Pearl. (The last one comes from the Greek meaning of the name.)

Love it but it's very popular on here at the minute

Love it. Our Margot is two. I haven’t come across any other small ones yet, but I hear (on here) that it’s on the rise. (The Penelope Keith reference is all positive in my mind. Her and Barbara were style icons!).

I think just because a name is popular on mumsnet does not reflect every area in the 'real world' it certainly doesn't where I live!
I've never ever come across a Margot in real life, adult or baby
I don't even know anyone who knows of a Margot!
It's still number 186 in the charts so I don't think it will ever be as popular as an evie or Ella for example!
Stunning name

Love it, but I have an Edith! So it not for us...
Greta is nice though.

Just watched an old episode of the Durrells (can't remember what the prog was called, but based on 'My Family and other Animals') and the sister is called Margo. Without the final t.

Sorry if it's already been mentioned.

Why would having an Edith preclude having a Margot?

[Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g]

I was wondering that, Buxbaum!

[TroubledLitchen]

A reference to Despicable Me perhaps? The girls are called Edith, Margot and Agnes. Can’t say I would have thought of it myself though, in fact Edith and Margot were both on my list for DD. In the end we used neither but it would never have occurred to me not to put them together.

Beautiful name! Go for it.

[NebularNerd]

I really like it 😀

[Catinthebath]

I have a friend who is Margaret and I call her Margot. Her husband who has passed on used to call her Marguerite in the broadest Yorkshire accent

Re Edith, I have a young neighbour who is Edie, lovely make
