Which order?

Baby girl due any day now...and still not 100% there on her name! What do you think either Margot Grace or Grace Margot?

My son is Henry William (named after a grandfather on each side) and I love both his names...struggling more this time round! My grandmother was Margaret so would be nice to honour her too :)

Margot Grace

pixieloux · 14/08/2018 06:48

I think either way works and sounds great with Henry but I prefer Margot so Margot Grace gets my vote.

MiniMaxi · 14/08/2018 06:57

I like both - Margot Grace flows better IMO

TheCag · 14/08/2018 07:06

Definitely Margot Grace.

I have a boy called Henry And a newborn girl called Margot!
Everyone loves their names 😉
Good choices 😍

Margot Grace gets my vote

Grace Margot.

It's nice to hear Grace as a first name instead of a "filler" middle name.

pipilangstrumpf · 14/08/2018 08:36

I prefer Grace too, unless you're French and pronounce Margot the French way.

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 14/08/2018 08:37

Definitely Margot Grace.

How else could you say it?! Please tell me there aren't people going round calling their children Mar-gott.

Thanks all!

We would be pronouncing it and spelling it the "French way", as above - which I think is the English way too! I believe in Germany/ Scandinavia they do pronounce it as a hard "t"...

They're both lovely names, I know Grace is a very popular middle name, it was never intended as a "filler name" but is my husbands first choice as a first name!

Margot Grace

RedDwarves · 14/08/2018 10:31

Grace Margot. Objectively, Grace is a much nicer name than Margot.

raspberrysplit · 14/08/2018 10:42

Margot Grace

raspberrysplit · 14/08/2018 10:44

And RedDwarves I think you mean subjectively.

JustlikeDevon · 14/08/2018 10:48

Margot grace. Lovely names.

Mishappening · 14/08/2018 10:50

Grace first - definitely!

Unfortunately Margot makes me think of "The Good Life" and the dreaded Margot Leadbetter. That is a sign of my age!!

Sophronia · 14/08/2018 12:40

Margot Grace

pipilangstrumpf · 14/08/2018 13:15

Henry sounds very English and Grace does too. They go well together.

Margot, either Mar-got or Margo, doesn't fit with Henry imo.

padfootprongs · 14/08/2018 14:26

Margot! I love love love the name Margot, it would be my number one name if I were to have a DD.
I'm not so keen on Grace, I think that's because it reminds me of someone that wasn't too nice in school though!

Greeneyedgeek83 · 14/08/2018 14:36

Margot Grace is beautiful

Aveenobrazeeno · 14/08/2018 14:36

Margot Grace - Margot is way more interesting imo, Grace is a bit twee and unoriginal
