Alice

Margot just isn't that nice of a name and Grace or any attribute name is too much of a risk. Grace always ends up to be a clumsy rather large woman.

Alice. Lovely, classic, not lots around

I love Margot, but agree it is trendy at the moment so will date

Tons of Graces. Very popular.

OnceRuralNowUrbanbliss · 22/12/2022 11:54

Margot is 🤢 Grace might not be at all graceful
Alice is sublime

SalviaOfficinalis · 22/12/2022 11:55

Agree with others.

Margot will date

Grace too overused

Alice is lovely.

Margot Grace would be so gorgeous. I love them all.

ReindeerSkull · 22/12/2022 12:03

Don't like any of them but if I had to choose it would be Alice. Grace is so popular and I don't think Margot sounds or looks nice.

Ewisa · 22/12/2022 12:05

I love Grace

Laurdo · 22/12/2022 12:09

Alice. Not a fan of Margot. I like Grace bit it's quite popular.

Middle names. Alice Jane/Jayne to keep it classic or Alice Grace is nice and uses 2 of your names.

DNBU · 22/12/2022 12:11

Alice.

Grace is very early 2000s.
Margot is having a moment now. It will date.

Alice had always been popular.

Believeinyou · 22/12/2022 12:11

Alice

riotlady · 22/12/2022 12:20

Alice is top for me, lovely and timeless
Margot (nice but trendy)
Grace (overused)

TenThousandSpoons · 22/12/2022 12:24

All are nice. I’d choose Alice as Grace was v popular 15-ish years ago and Margot is very of the moment. Alice more timeless.

ChristmasJingleBalls · 22/12/2022 12:31

Alice.

Grace is so overused and is every girl’s middle name.

Not a fan of Margot.

KirstenBlest · 22/12/2022 12:32

@Marcipex , the spelling Margot is far more popular than Margo or Margaux. Margo would be 'Margo-without-a-T'

I think people like the name because they subconsciously think of Margot Robbie (cf. Darcey and Dame Darcey, Audrey, ...)

As for middle names, Alice Grace doesn't flow, and I really dislike Jayne

BCBird · 22/12/2022 12:38

Like them all. Grace,Margot and Alice in that order. Like Agnès too,but pronunciation might be a problem.

LaLuz7 · 22/12/2022 11:36

I like Alice best.

Margot sounds too much like maggot

Have you considered Magda instead?

Why do people on here do this? The OP has stated Margo as a choice. Stop trying to tweak it.

Grace Kelly wants a word. Rein in the gross attitude.

TotteringByGenteely · 22/12/2022 12:45

I love Alice!
Grace would be my second choice.
Margot reminds me of The Good Life.

MajorCarolDanvers · 22/12/2022 12:46

All lovely but Margot has the edge

LizzieBet14 · 22/12/2022 12:46

Alice

JoyfulGirl · 22/12/2022 12:47

Margot is nice, that would be my choice.

Alice is twee and prissy.

Grace is massively overdone as a middle name, although I’ve not heard it so much as a first name. I don’t hate it I suppose.

DramaAlpaca · 22/12/2022 12:47

Alice.

Easy choice, I don't like the others.

NameIsBryceQuinlan · 22/12/2022 12:47

I love grace

shreddies · 22/12/2022 12:48

Alice

BlueSuffragette · 22/12/2022 12:50

Grace then Alice. Not keen on Margot at all.
