Margot or Adelaide?

[Giraffle]

A sister to our son Oakley… but I can’t decide between the two they’re both so pretty to me

@ChairOnToast

Amazed everyone is saying Adelaide. You know it’s a city in Australia and not a name don’t you?

Ehhhh, and who is it named after?

You know it’s a city in Australia and not a name don’t you?. The city Adelaide was named after the Queen Consort.

Adelaide over Margot definitely. Margot is such an ugly name.
I prefer Adeline or Addison over Adelaide though.

Wow thank you @ChairOnToast, I had no idea. Thank goodness for people like you eh

I much prefer Margo.
Addy is not great as a nn. I know one. She’s nearly always Addy.

I think Marguerite is much prettier than Margot.. Marguerite was on my list for DD

Adelaide is such a beautiful name.
Margot is pretty too but I definitely prefer Adelaide :)

Adelaide

I like Adela better than Adelaide

Adelaide but then I find Margot really ugly sorry

Where in the country do you live?
I love Margot but live in an area of West Yorkshire where it would be pronounced Maaargoor.

Ad. Margot is really popular atm

I adore Adelaide. I wanted to use it as my top choice, but husband vetoed 😭

A city in Australia and not a name ? 😂

Adelaide. I love Margot as well but if I ever have a little girl I want to name her Adelaide, I think it’s absolutely beautiful

Margot is nicer. I really don’t like Adelaide.

It was named after a person. Queen Adelaide, the wife of William IV who was king when it was founded.

It's an Anglicised form of the German name Adelheid.

I'm hearing it in Hull. Hmmm. Mah-geerrr

Both are nice, but I'd pick Margot.

Adelaide is lovely (although I like Adeline even more to avoid any risk of "laid" jokes). Margot is very trendy now so not my taste personally.

Oakley and Adelaide are two names which for me the primary association for them both is a place, so I really wouldn't have the two of them together. (Yes I know they're both names and have other meanings but say Oakley and my first thought is California say Adelaide and my first thought is Australia)

Margot is lovely. Go with that.

Adelaide. Margot was so trendy for a while, but a while ago now. REady for something a bit fresher.

Margot isn't in the least bit pretty. I find it hard and unattractive.

Adelaide is marginally better, but I don't like that the 'laide' ending means 'ugly' in French.

Adelaide is lovely!

Also like Adaline (to rhyme with Caroline).
