Juno or Margot?

[Viviolet]

Really love both as feel that both are spunky but elegant- don’t know which one I prefer though. Evangeline would be mn (honouring my mum) and definitely feel as if the first name should have some spunk to balance Evangeline out

I'd not heard of Juno before and initially presumed it to be a boy's name. Just something you may want to consider, possibly not a bad thing.

Juno.

Juno is a brilliant name. Margot is not. Margot is maggoty.

Juno sounds like a member of Dexy's Midnight Runners.
And Margot is a name I picked for an miner's new breast/nipple some time ago!
So both a 'no' from me.

Juno Evangeline is lovely

Margot! I think Juno is a bit too trendy and too unisex sounding for my personal taste. They are different names. Margot sounds like an elegant little lady, Juno is a tomboy. Which feels most like the daughter you'd have? (I know you can't completely predict, but girls often follow their mums in some way).

Juno isn't a unisex name. It's a girl's name. How many men can you think of called Juno? Juno was a Roman Goddess.

I know an absolutely wonderful 2 year old Margot and have never known any negative reactions to her name at all, nor have I met any others. As far as I know she does not masquerade as a middle aged pearl clutcher and is definitely describe her as 'spunky' in the way you intended!

Margot for me every time 😊

I prefer Juno. I just don't get the Margot fad, it's a fusty-sounding name.

The spelling Margo makes more sense in English. Or do as the Scandinavians, Germans and pronounce it phonetically as Mar-gott.

I prefer Juno!

Both names are nice. I think when you give MN a choice between 2 most will slate their least preferred when if they met a young 'Juno' or 'Margot' in the street they'd think 'that's nice' and carry on with their day 🙄

Margot takes the edge for me personally, but I think they'd both be winners. I have spent the best part of the last 2 years almost exclusively at baby groups and haven't any met children with either name.

I know that Margot doesn’t make phonetic sense in English but to me the spelling Margo feels quite empty and just not quite right. I think most people in England know the name and use the French pronounciation

ivanmashpotato thank you very much!! At this moment I prefer Margot by a smidge. Wish I could save the other name (hoping it’s another DD) but it’d be very matchy- may need a cat

You could always use 'Margaux' to make it more interesting!

hplikecraft I do actually like that spelling but think it may be a bit yoonique

Margot

The Margaux spelling is more popular than Margot in France. Strange because it’s the wine originally I thought.

Margaux is much better than Margot. Makes the pronunciation obvious.

But I think Margo is even better in English speaking countries.

I can never get past the portrayal of Juno in the Aeneid. She’s so spiteful and mean! I don’t like Margot much though, so, erm, Margot?

I like them both! Sorry not to be more helpful.

I had no idea that Margot was being revived! I think of it as being quite a classy, older lady's name.

I wonder if Margaret will make a comeback too.

Juno makes me think of that wonderful film rather than the Aeneid - but maybe I'm culturally illiterate.

I love both, they were both on my list and Juno was top of dh’s. I ended up with a Josephine though. I think Margot Evangeline sounds slightly better though.

Margot, although I have a 2 year old Margot so am completely bias. We get compliment after compliment on her name. I thought it may be a little marmite when we named her but it hasn't been the case at all. We've not had any problems with the pronunciation, with the -got ending. Brits seem more than able to recognise a silent T. I was excited to teach her to say 'the T is silent like Merlot' but actually haven't had to 😂

Juno is better.
Can't believe so many people haven't heard of it.
Margot is having a moment but I don't think it's a particularly nice name either way.
Go for Juno.

I love both names but Juno takes the edge for me. It's top of our list too!

I love Margot but had it vetoed because of spelling/pronunciation - and don't see how 'Margaux' helps in that regard!

Somewhat concerned at the popularity of Juno ;-)

I love Margot but since Suicide Squad movie and Margot Robbie... the name is everywhere 🤨 unless you're a fan of her or the film in which case is a dead cert!!!!

Juno is also a film though, about a young pregnant girl??? Maybe??
