Hello! I’m expecting a baby girl at the end of summer and my husband and I have got down to two final names… which one would you go for?
Marnie or Margot?
The middle name will probably be Joy! Thanks!

My choice would be Margot spelt Margaux, think it looks prettier. Unpopular opinion tho

Rt23 · 25/07/2021 19:13

Thanks, I actually love the Margaux spelling too!

Marnie. Far less popular. And far less harsh abounding

Margaux looks try-hard/made up and will result in a lifetime of spelling it.

*sounding

thunderandsunshine01 · 25/07/2021 19:19

I like Margot better

EssentialHummus · 25/07/2021 19:21

Marnie of the two, but there are just tons of Marnie/Maisie/Mimi type names around at the mo so I'm not overly keen on either (not that you asked!).

Margot by far Smile

becca3210 · 25/07/2021 19:29

Margot!

wishing3 · 25/07/2021 19:35

I like both but at a pinch think Margot Joy flows better.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 25/07/2021 19:37

Love Marnie

elfran · 25/07/2021 19:40

Margot Joy for sure. I know it's not, but I always find Marnie to be a bit nickname-y and lightweight, while Margot has some gravitas.

BeaBeaBuzz · 25/07/2021 19:42

Margaux like the wine is too try hard.

I like both Marnie and Margot though, think Marnie is nicer with joy.

mumsiedarlingrevolta · 25/07/2021 19:43

100% Margot

Marnie so wet and hilariously autocorrected to Marine to make my point

SherbertLemons · 25/07/2021 19:44

Margot, lovely name. Not keen on Marnie

happydays2345 · 25/07/2021 19:46

Marnie is very geordie shore

Mischance · 25/07/2021 19:48

Marnie is a ghastly Hitchcock film - please don't call her that! I would stick with Margot. And I can't imagine why anyone might change the spelling. It is what it is.

Margot Joy
Lovely Flowers

Kanaloa · 25/07/2021 19:49

Margot for sure, lovely name. I don’t like Marnie.

Firebird83 · 25/07/2021 19:54

Margot Joy

TheRosariojewels · 25/07/2021 20:44

I love Margot and dislike Marnie.

Hppymum123 · 25/07/2021 20:46

Marnie

ILoveShula · 25/07/2021 20:48

Marnie.

Margot sounds harsh and looks like Maggot
