I have a Frances so you can guess my preference 🙂 I feel Margot is trendier.

Francesca. Margot is truly, utterly heinous.

Francesca :)

Be aware with Margot that not everyone is familiar with seeing it written down - I have a friend who pronounces is Mar-got every time she sees it 😂 But I guess that will change if it's becoming more popular.

Not keen on either of them, but Francesca is the better of the two

Frances and Margaret are much nicer

Margot, less likely to have some shortening that you possibly won't like.

Oh gosh, two of my least favourite names! Wink Grin

Of the two, Margot is preferable and more modern.

If the other option was Frances I'd have picked that.

Francesca. Margot reminds me of a book written by a Mitford sister for some reason and belongs in the 1930s.

Francesca of the two. Margot is really trendy now, so more likely to date imo.

Difficult because we have a DGP called Frank. However Margo wins a) because it’s a really cool name and b) Margo Leadbetter is an absolute legend.
