Margot, Ophelia or Penelope

[dillytilly]

What’s your opinion of each? Like classic names, any suggestions of similar ?

Ohh I've never heard Ophelia before but I really like it

I like them all, but as I have an Ophelia I'm a little biased towards that one.

I have one of these, called penny day to day. Like Margot, less keen on Ophelia. How about Josephine, Margaret, Alexandra?

Not my taste at all but at a push Penelope
Ophelia reminds me of haemophilia and has tragic connotations
Margot is a dowdy name that looks like Maggot
Penelope at a push but dislike penny.

Penelope. Gorgeous.

I love Margot. Not fussed about the others, but it's not my child being named 😁

Penelope as I dislike the other two, but not Penny

Margot is lovely and elegant; I saw a baby called Margot in a magazine photo recently and it struck me as a gorgeous name, though perhaps because she was tiny, adorable and styled by Harper’s

I don’t think it reads similarly to “maggot” because the sounds are so different. Perhaps it would if you didn’t know how to pronounce it, though.

I love Margot... that would be my choice if I were ever to have another.

Love Margot

Ophelia. Margot is everywhere and a bit bland.

Don’t like Penelope at all and Penny is such a dowdy nn.

Re pp - Not Penny as in don’t use that nn.

Not mad keen on Margot - bit too 70’s for me.

Like Penelope.

Love Ophelia although she was tragic.

I like Penelope.

Don't like Margot unless it's pronounced the French way, Margo. In German and several other European languages it's pronounced Mar-gott.

Ophelia definitely in my view

Really love all three of these names 🥰

Similar names Aria Aurora Aurelia Pearl Delilah

How about Margaux instead of Margot? I also lie Penelope can’t stand Ophelia but that’s because I went to school with one and she was a 1st class bitch

I do like all three but Margot and Penelope are hugely hugely popular at the moment so if you want something a little more rare then I would go with Ophelia:)

I love Ophelia - I would have it but DH isn’t keen!

I do love Margot too - but think it’s quite popular (along with Penelope) at the moment.

Ooh I love all three names! Do you know what the middle name would be?

You could always use Pea if you wanted to shorten Penelope?

Margot.

Margot.

Margot is faddy, Ophelia is tragic and Penny is ok.

Like Margot and Ophelia.

Dislike Penelope and especially dislike Penny.

Like the nn Nel or Nellie though.
