Which girl name do you prefer?

[Lucile3555]

Hi!

I'm new on mumsnet and expecting a lovely baby girl for early 2021 :)

Currently hesitating between three names:

Margot
Isabella
Jemima

Which one is your favourite?

Our last name is easy to pair because very short (one syllable) and common (think Smith).

Thanks!

Jemima

Margot is my favourite of the 3.

I like Margot - seems to be having a slight revival and is nice.

Margot or Jemima

I love Isabelle, Isobel, Isabella etc but there seem to be so many of them (at least 2 in each of my DCs classes)

Isabella

I think I can safely say our last name here as it's so common - it's Ross :D I love Margot but was wondering if it didn't sound a bit harsh.

With our last name I mean

Isabella

Not at all keen on Jemima, Margot is alright

1. Margot
2. Isabella
3. Jemima

Jemima or Isabella

Cant stand Margot

Jemima

Jemima is lovely

Isabella Ross is a little too close to Isabella Rossellini.

LOVE Margot and Jemima equally!

Isabella but Jemima goes better with your surname imo :-)

I love Margot - Jemima reminds me of Playschool, showing my age there, and Jemima Puddleduck. There are lots of Isabellas and I prefer something less widely used.

Margot goes the worst with your surname and is becoming hugely popular. Love the other two!

Margot is the only one of the three choices that I like.

I love Margot!
Can I just check though in my accent the T is silent so it's Margo. Would it be Margot in the UK?

It would be Margo(t) with the T silent in the UK, yes :)

I have no idea why but in my head Margot Ross sounds like Hugo Boss

I love both Jemima and Margot. Isabella is fine, I mean it's not a horrible name, but so popular that it's become a bit dull.

I love the four syllable flow of Isabella with the short surname but there are a LOT of girls named this at the mo. It's very pretty though.

Love Margot or Jemima! Both so pretty!

Jemima
