Margot

but think about nicknames / shortenings e.g. Fran, Maggie- which would you prefer?

Francesca

I like Margot but it’s way overdone.

Francesca also has lots of nice nns - Frankie, Francie, Chessie, Franca - should you want options

Francesca.

I'd never met a Margot up until about 3 years ago and now it feels like every little girl I meet is a Margot.

MissDollyMix · 31/08/2022 20:16

I actually love both but can’t get over the whole Margot- Maggot thing so I’m saving that one for my next dog.

Francesca, surprisingly.

FayCarew · 31/08/2022 20:17

Francesca. I'm not mad about it, but Margot is so maggoty

TheLaLaLady · 31/08/2022 20:20

Sorry but I just thought of maggots straight away

TulipVictory · 31/08/2022 20:31

Wow I love both of these names but Francesca is top of my list with Frankie as a nickname 😊

Margot

Cheeselog · 01/09/2022 16:19

Francesca! It’s a lovely classic name. Margot is too trendy at the moment.

Devo1818 · 01/09/2022 16:19

Margot hands down

NancyJoan · 01/09/2022 16:20

Margot. Or Margo. They are so many Frans and Francesca’s about.

MrsMitford3 · 01/09/2022 16:22

Margot 100%

Not a fan of francesca at all-and don't like any of the nn but I can see above that you do...

LateSummerLobelia · 01/09/2022 16:24

Francesca for me. I find Margot just everywhere at the moment and it has such a hard sound to my ear. This might be because I have an aunt Margaret who's nn is Margot and she is very hard work so I am influenced by that.
