Margot? Middle names?

[Lucylookingforhelp]

Pretty sure we’re set on this name as feel it’d elegant and spunky but aren’t sure on a middle name. We’re thinking of Evangeline and maybe Elizabeth but other suggestions are welcome. DH has mentioned concerns with it being similar to maggot but am I being stupid for thinking that it doesn’t matter as any name can be made fun of if you try

I LOVE the name Margot! I had it vetoed by my own DH.

Middle names are, if not a family name, usually an “also ran”? So go with what you like best - do either of those have a story or sentimentality to you?

Margot Elizabeth is lovely

Magot is the first thing that comes to my mind. In all honesty it’s one of those names when chatting to friends that falls into the ‘who would name their child that?’. But apparently it’s popular.....

I like the sound of it but it looks too much like maggot.

Margot Eleanor
Margot Eloise
Margot Olivia
Margot Arianna
Margot Rhian
Margot Nora
Margot Isabelle

Margot is beautiful.
Personally think a second name starting with a consonant, rather than a vowel, runs off the tongue better.

Margot Susannah

Margot Kate

Elizabeth was my first thought from your thread title!

Margot Felicity
Margot Sophia
Margot Victoria
Margot Lillian

Margot really only goes with the name Ledbetter, but it’s none the worse for that. I would couple it with something of three/four syllables (eg Elizabeth, Evelyn, Georgina, Isabella) but of course a family middle name is always preferable if there is one which sounds good.

Margot Elise
Margot Christina
Margot Emily
Margot Georgina

Margot Elizabeth is lovely! Margot Rose, Margot Louise, also work. How does it go with your surname?

Agreed with pp that a middle name beginning with a consonant works better. Also, the maggot thing is ridiculous. It doesn't sound the same. I've literally never heard of a child called Margot being teased with the name Maggot.

Margot Joy
Margot Penelope
Margot Dawn
Margot Claire

It depends on how you pronounce Margot. If it's the French way (without the t) then a middle name starting with s consonant sounds better.
If it's pronounced Mar-got, then Elizabeth is nicer.

Sunflower321 does anyone pronounce Margot with a t at the end?

Yes, in most Germanic languages. I know a couple of German Margots who are both Mar-gott.

It's the French who don't pronounce the t.

Margot Juliet

Love Margot Nora and Margot Penelope but DH is leaning towards Margot Evangeline and since I chose Margot and I do like the name we may go with that

@sunflower321 we’d be pronouncing it the French way x (I think most people in the UK do, at least I hope so )
