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!

Margot, Marnie sounds make up to me, like it should be short for something.

They’re both hipster faves round my way. I like them both but think I prefer Margot.

I’d put Audrey and Norah in same category too.

Margot. As a PP said Marnie is a bit Geordie Shore. Margot Joy is lovely.

I remember the TV character from the 70s, Margot Leadbetter. It's a connection that would preclude me from naming a baby Margot.

Marnie is nice, but there are nicer M names. Mirren, Meredith, Mia, Miley for example.

Out of your two favourites it has to be Marnie. Margot is horrid!

Margot. Love it ! I worked with a really lovely and pretty Margot.

Both lovely but Margot is my favourite of the two.

She was Margo Leadbetter not Margot. The Margo spelling is not so maggotty

NotMeekNotObedient · 27/07/2021 12:48

I like Margot best.

Sounds exactly the same and is a very 70s name to my ear.

So, it's a no from me.

Marnie I love that name

Much prefer Marnie but depends on surname..?

Only because I had Marnie on our list but our surname ends 'ee' sound and it was a bit much together :)
