What type of girl does Margot make you think of?

[Lucy1103]

I personally think of someone stubborn, intelligent and a little bit mischievous but would like to hear your thoughts?

MadisonAvenue ah yes I see it

(Well I hear it haha)

I know a 1 year old Margot by the way!

It's also a name considered elegant across most European/Antipodean and North/South American cultures. (Which is key, because a Margot will travel widely, of course.)

Actually, Margot is pronounced Mar-gott in Germany, Scandinavia, Austria, Holland etc and is a very unfashionable name. I wouldn't say it travels well at all!

Actually, I think that that rather depends on the Germans, Austrians and Scandinavians one socialises with.

And as for the rest, what is in good taste and what is fashionable are often rather different things, no?

bombcyclone couldn’t have put that second post better

Lucy & Madison, yes it's not the silent 't' that makes it sound harsh to me, it's the hard 'g' in the middle, and I also don't like the look of it written down.

I'm sorry I was rude about it last night though, there was no need for my snippy comment

Haha there was no offence taken, it was funny jaguarana. Anyway I am asking for opinions after all

Clever, glamorous in an unconventional way, a bit of a rebel, kind. The sort of girl who as a teenager could be in the cool girls' clique but chooses not to.

The only Margot I know is your classic pretty, popular mean girl, and not very bright.

Unlike her older sister, who is interesting, kind, articulate and an all round lovely girl.

Margot to me is therefore someone who is attractive on the outside but not on the inside.

Rebellious. Kindred spirit in a way.

I'd think of quite a serious, bookish girl with big soulful brown eyes and red hair x

Because of Margot Frank, a serious bookish girl.
Margot Fonteyn - classy and sophisticated.
Margot Robbie - pretty and go-ahead

A lovely name

(In The Good Life it was spelled Margo).

Outside of France, Margo works better if you prefer that pronunciation.

Spelled Margot, it would be pronounced Mar-gott in many countries outside France.

I have never heard anyone pronounce it Marg-ott, and I know a few in the UK (and one in Spain)

Margot Leadbetter from the Good Life

Anne Frank’s sister

It's in Germanic and Nordic speaking countries where it's pronounced Mar-gott.

I always think of Anne Frank's sister Margot when I hear the name Margot, it is a lovely name and I do like Anne's sister,

Posh, blonde, high-achieving.

I think it's sweet.

Naughty Margot Maynard from the Chalet School is the first that springs to mind, but then the lovely Margot Frank, too. Then Margo "Go" Dunne from Gone Girl who is at least a very supportive sister and strong woman even if her DB & SiL are ghastly.

I really like the name. It has an air about it. The comedienne Jessie Cave has a Margot, too.

I actually think it has an interlectual tone to it, but would it
End up being shortened to 'Marge' because that would be a game changer for me!
