I love Margot!

SunshineAndFizz · 22/12/2022 10:01

They're all really lovely.

I love how Margot is pronounced ('Mar-go') but I just can't get away with how it's spelt. I just see 'Maggot'.

I'd probably choose Alice.

TallulahBetty · 22/12/2022 10:01

Grace by a long way

Don't like the others - Alice always seems 'wet' to me, and Margot is 'meh' at best.

nancydroo · 22/12/2022 10:25

Margot all the way

CoffeeChocolateWine · 22/12/2022 10:46

Margot by a mile. Lovely name.

I've always disliked the name Alice and I can't understand its popularity. I can't think of a more wet, insipid name. Sorry.

Grace is ok. But personally I don't like the 'Grrr...' sound. Sounds harsh.

Notonyournellykelly · 22/12/2022 10:46

Margot

FatGirlSwim · 22/12/2022 10:48

Alice by a country mile. Lovely name.

Grace too common and doesn’t work well in a lot of accents.
Margot I just see maggot and think The Good Life.

WaltzingWaters · 22/12/2022 10:48

Alice

kernowpicklepie · 22/12/2022 10:49

Margot or Alice

PinkPrettyAndPointed · 22/12/2022 10:49

Margot. Grace is flogged and Alice is a bit twee.

CornishGem1975 · 22/12/2022 10:50

Margot
Alice
Grace

In that order. I'm not a fan of Grace at all.

WarriorsComeOutToPlayaaay · 22/12/2022 10:50

I think Grace is overused and she will likely be one of many in her class.

ShesThunderstorms · 22/12/2022 10:50

Margot is gorgeous.

MamboJamboWambo · 22/12/2022 10:54

Grace. Everybodyyyyy is naming their daughter Margot atm.

Pemba · 22/12/2022 10:57

Alice is beautiful and timeless, I would pick that. Grace has grown on me the last few years, although like a pp I used to be put off by the 'grr' sound. Such a lovely meaning and it goes well with other names. Could have Alice Grace?

Margot I'm not so keen on, although I don't hate it.

Mercurial123 · 22/12/2022 11:33

Grace or Alice as a back up. Definitely not Margot.

SoupDragon · 22/12/2022 11:34

Alice

LaLuz7 · 22/12/2022 11:36

I like Alice best.

Margot sounds too much like maggot

Have you considered Magda instead?

Purplemagnolias · 22/12/2022 11:37

I love how Margot is pronounced ('Mar-go')

Only in French!

In German and many other European languages it's actually pronounced as it's written - Mar-gott

5moments · 22/12/2022 11:38

I like Margot but it's too popular.

Grace is over done.

Alice is ok, quite sweet. I really like Ally for a nn.

Marcipex · 22/12/2022 11:39

Margo without the t?
then no one would think of maggot

AdaColeman · 22/12/2022 11:39

Alice!
Grace would be a close second.

Not at all keen on Margot.

RedRobyn2021 · 22/12/2022 11:39

Sorry I love them all

KirstenBlest · 22/12/2022 11:41

Alice. Classic and simple
Margot has become popular from nowhere, so will probably date badly
Grace is overused as a middle name, I'm not keen on the sound, and a Grace might not be gracious or graceful.

Rainbowqueeen · 22/12/2022 11:43

Grace or Alice.

Margot is hugely popular and will date quickly I think.
