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.

Echobelly · 01/10/2020 12:57

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

WildCherryBlossom · 01/10/2020 12:57

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

Lucile3555 · 01/10/2020 13:02

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.

Isabella

Not at all keen on Jemima, Margot is alright

mintich · 01/10/2020 13:04
  1. Margot
  2. Isabella
  3. Jemima
CarolVordermansBum · 01/10/2020 13:05

Jemima or Isabella

Cant stand Margot

IvySpivey · 01/10/2020 13:08

Jemima

IslandLulu · 01/10/2020 13:08

Jemima is lovely

WildCherryBlossom · 01/10/2020 13:11

Isabella Ross is a little too close to Isabella Rossellini.

Whatsyourflava · 01/10/2020 13:11

LOVE Margot and Jemima equally!

herewegonumbertwo · 01/10/2020 13:12

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

wowfudge · 01/10/2020 13:14

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!

SilenceOfTheEmu · 01/10/2020 13:15

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

Sk1nnyB1tch · 01/10/2020 13:16

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

Castoreum · 01/10/2020 13:50

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.

PastramiNoRye · 01/10/2020 13:54

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.

SaffieSoph · 01/10/2020 13:56

Love Margot or Jemima! Both so pretty!

Bankingswitch · 01/10/2020 14:00

Jemima Smile
