What are her brothers called?

Or if you have a Margot what were your boy names?

We have a Margot and now need a boys name but can't find anything we love.

We're considering;

Raphael
Rafe
Barnaby

Names we like but can't use;

Jasper
Casper
Toby
Chester
Rafferty

Stephen, Charles, Michael, Felix and Geoffrey

HardWorkShy · 13/03/2020 20:29

Margot and Peter.

I know a beautiful girl called Margot (it's such a wonderful name and really suits her, she's gorgeous) and her brothers name is Caleb

notalwaysalondoner · 14/03/2020 03:05

Her brother is Rocco. He’s 1 and she’s 3. I way prefer the name Margot to Rocco...

Flymetothestars · 14/03/2020 07:47

Barnaby is just such a lovely underused name. I’d go with that for sure!

champagneandfromage50 · 14/03/2020 07:50

Phillipe
Clement
Tobias / Toby
Julian

Flymetothestars · 14/03/2020 12:41

@notalwaysalondoner yes Margot is much nicer than Rocco

LetItGoHome · 14/03/2020 15:24

I have a Margot. Her big brother is Arthur.
I love Arthur obviously, but it is perhaps getting a bit over used recently.
I also loved Clement. That's what I would use if naming a boy now 😍
Barnaby is lovely too as long as the NN is Bee rather than Barny.

hels71 · 15/03/2020 13:48

I know a Margot with Fergus as a brother

TigerBilly · 16/03/2020 23:01

Ralph?

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 16/03/2020 23:11

Can you use Caspian instead of Casper?

Namemybaby · 16/03/2020 23:49

Yes Caspian was on the list but not sure my husband was keen, also had Cassian and Cassius.
We have a Toby already! This is baby number three...

I still like the Cass names, Barnaby and Raife/Rafe/Raphael but feel like I don't LOVE any of them...

I like Kit but think it's quite popular now?

Interesting to see which names people feel go with Margot, lots of names I like or names of friends children. Some surprises, like Rocco!

Also liking Barnaby

@Namemybaby Kit is getting more popular but that’s relatively speaking as it’s still pretty unusual . It was Number 193 in the charts in 2018 (the most recent year we have stats for) and accounting for 0.042% of all babies

I love it!

Standrewsschool · 17/03/2020 09:34

Kit for me is a nickname of Christopher, rather than a name in its own right.

Standrewsschool · 17/03/2020 09:34

Although I do prefer kit to Christopher

GoodbyePorpoiseSpit · 17/03/2020 09:36

I’ve always liked Loomis for a boy. Out there.

Like Barnaby it’s great!
Jago
Felix
Caspar
Rafe
Wilfred

Kitkatkatnap · 17/03/2020 09:38

I think Laurie and Margot sound delightful together!

annabell22 · 17/03/2020 09:43

Margot sounds very 1930s to me, so Laurie goes really well.

I had forgotten until this thread that it was Anne Frank's sister's name.

I would avoid Hugo, Milo etc - too many final o's in one group of siblings.

Whatsyourflava · 17/03/2020 09:49

I personally would avoid Raif Rafe Rafferty Raphael if you’re concerned about popularity . Each name on its own is pretty unusual but all added together I do know quite a few Raffy’s locally x

Newname88 · 18/03/2020 11:06

Just replying to the bit where you've said you like cass names. While i was pregnant and looking for names i thought about Castiel (i watch alot of supernatural lol) in the end i had a DD but still love the name. No more children for me so im thinking it might end up a pets name somewhere down the line....

Whydoesit · 18/03/2020 11:10

Yes you’ve got to add the entries for Christopher if you’re trying to see how popular Kit is.

If you like Cas names what about Casimir?
