Mathilde or Margot?

[Lalalucyy]

Just that really- husband is French if wondering. Middle name will either be Elizabeth or Evangeline- 2 ladies we’d like to honour but I’m not too bothered on the ‘flow’ of the middle name as they’re so rarely used, it’s more of an added bonus if they go together nicely.

There is a little girl in DD's class called Margeux... I love it!

I like Margot Elizabeth.

Love Margot, it’s getting more popular now so won’t seem out there (I know two little Margot’s)
Mathilde is lovely but I think likely to get misspelt a lot

go for them all... mathilde margot elizabeth evangeline smith.

Mathilde is a lovely name, as is Margot.

I think Margot goes better with Evangeline.

I love Margot. I agree that Mathilde will have to be corrected constantly.

Margot Evangeline is stunning

Mathilde for me, very nice.

Margot isn't attractive to look at written down or to say.

Mathilde! How I adore Mathilde- criminally underused.

Margot Evangeline is lovely

I have a niece called Margaux... I thought that was the French spelling? Always thought it was individual and lovely.

Mathilde

Margot Evangeline 😍

Margot sounds awfully middle aged to me.

Love Margot. Would have considered it for DD if not for our surname.
Mathilde not so much.
Margot Elizabeth is really nice.

Hm ok so I think this is leaning towards Margot at the moment. I did think Mathilde may be an issue with spelling and pronunciation as it’s not as well known as Margot.

WeAreRevoltingChildren I think both spellings are used in France but as far as we know Margot is the original one. Margaux does look very pretty though.

I like Mathilde but reckon it would get misspelt a lot. Not keen on Margot, it’s quite popular atm.

I LOVE Margot
Never met one , but just love the name

I prefer Mathilde because I think it works for all stages of life and because it is not as common as Margot. I feel like Margot is a grown woman's name.

@forsucksfake that’s interesting- I’ve had someone tell me Mathilde is too grown up for a child

Haha. Horses for courses, I guess.

I tend to associate the name Margot with Margot Kidder and Hemingway's granddaughter (Margaux), both of whom died tragically. Sorry to say. But that is just from my childhood and no one nowadays would make those associations.

The important thing is that you, your partner and your daughter love the name.

I teach a Margot and she is lovely. Definitely go for Margot.

Margot Elizabeth or Margot Evangeline, both lovely.

Margot for the same reasons as others. A) it is lovely and B) Mathilde has too much potential for confusion on spelling and pronunciation.

But if all these votes for Margot are making you sad, you know Mathilde is the one!
