Bonnie or Margot?

[Crispyduckpancakes]

Just that really- middle name will probably be Elisabeth after her grandma but am not too bothered about which ‘flows’ better as her middle name will he used so rarely

Both are lovely...bonnie Margot Elizabeth maybe?

I have a Margot and love it. So my vote goes there. It gets a lot of hate on Mumsnet though. People are commenting a lot that it has become super popular. But it's only 99th in England and Wales right now so that's a myth. I also don't know of any others personally (London). I see it as strong and feisty. Makes a change from the popular fluffy, cute names that are popular right now.

Margot.

Bonnie was a Blue Peter dog. And also Bonnie Langford. I don't really have any positive associations with it. Whereas Margot Fonteyn was elegant and brilliant and a great role model.

I really like Bonner. ( but it has meaning in my family) then call her bonnie

I love Margot but my friend called her baby this and nobody seems to get it. For some reason people ask her how to spell it all the time and even the nursery keep calling her Margaret!
Seems simple to me but apparently not

I love Margot. Would have been on my list for a girl (also Audrey mentioned by someone else above).

I’m afraid Bonnie sounds a bit twee to my ears. And isn’t it a nickname for another name?

Margot is about the worst name going - don’t understand the appeal whatsoever

Bonnie is a Labrador’s name

I’d still vote for Bonnie

I like Margot but it's getting more popular, I quite like Bonnie as a wild card choice but I'd tire of it I think.

Off the cuff suggestion: how about Blythe? Similar to Bonnie in some ways but with the dash of 1920s charm that Margot has?

Vote for Margot. Lovely name

Of the two, Bonnie. Margot is strangely very popular right now - some celebrity called Margot perhaps?

Can only think of Bonnie Tyler and Bonnie Langford as famous Bonnies.

Not madly keen on either of them.

Both quite nice, Bonnie for me is the heroine of The Wolves of Willoughby Chase. Margot is Tony Hart’s assistant on Hart Beat. Think I may have answered the question for myself there...

Margot 100%. Really dislike Bonnie. Sounds like a pet's name.

@LetItGoHome I don’t think people mean too popular as in the statistics, but in that it’s an of the moment / faddy name.

I prefer Bonnie.

Margot reminds me
Of maggot.

Bonnie is cute

Margot spelt Margaux if the other spelling reminds people of maggot.

Margot

Bonnie.

Margot isn’t nice, it’s really harsh sounding.

Margaux is awful. It doesn't look feminine - it just looks like it's a french wine region or something.
Margo is better, but the Margot spelling is more popukar.

The Margaux spelling is actually more popular than Margot in France!

Margot is often pronounced Mar-gott. Margaux or Margo is not.

Love them both 🤣 so I’m no help. If I had to choose, I’d probably go with Margot. Goes better with Elizabeth x

We have a three year old Margot, love the name! Bonnie is nice but a bit cute for me, maybe as a nickname?

Not Margot so Bonnie

Love both but if I had to choose Id probably go with Bonnie.

Neither.

But Margot is the name I dislike most in the world so I’d have to choose Bonny.
