Cleo or Margot

[Silentreader]

What do you prefer?

I love both, husband thinks Margot will get the nickname Maggot and my hairdresser thought it was pronounced with a hard T at the end which has put me off a bit. Are we overthinking?

Help!

Oh, Cleo is gorgeous and Margot is awful! It's frumpy and yes, looks like maggot and there are quite a lot of them currently. Cleo is completely underrated and such an elegant name for a child and adult. 💜

[Infusionist]

There are lots of little Margots, Chloe is much fresher.

[Infusionist]

Sorry, Cleo! I like Chloe too but far far prefer Cleo.

[LilyLemonade]

Cleo would be my choice too though I love Margot as well! Maggot would never have occurred to me in a million years! What about the spelling Margaux? I know a few who are spelt that way and then you can’t get the pronunciation wrong.

[Whereismyjug]

Cleo for sure. There are loads of Margot's around at the moment. Love both names though

[standardduck]

Cleo!

[shoopshoopdedoo]

I prefer Cleo. Like both but know/know of lots of babies called Margot

[tregunamekoidestrecorumsatisdee]

Even Margot Robbie was nicknamed Maggot growing up.

[UseOfWeapons]

Prefer Cleo, but tbh, neither are doing it for me- but this is your child!

[PickledScrump]

Much prefer Cleo, Margot is such a frumpy name although it’s currently very popular for babies, but this may well cause it to seem dated in a few years

[strawberry2017]

Cleo, Margot is becoming to popular

[PollyPeep]

Cleo! I used to love Margot but my phone autocorrected it to maggot and I couldn't unsee!

My own name is often abbreviated to Cleo with some friends calling me ‘Cle’, and I honestly hate my name!

Have you ever seen the mermaid show? So many people say my name in an Aussie accent now as a joke. It goes through my head! Google H20 Cleo.

[PossiblyNotOne]

Cleo, I really dislike Margot.

[AllPlayedOut]

Cleo is great. I really dislike Margot. I find it a very unattractive name.

[SpringIntoChaos]

Margot is awful. And I know two fat little pug dogs called Margot (obvs not in the same family...that would be weird 🤣) so to me it's a fat pug dog name!

Also...yeah, Maggot 🤣

Not keen on Cleo either...it's a car 🚗

I do like Chloe though (as per the typo upthread ⬆️) or Meg, instead of Margot?

[Napoleandynamite]

Love the name Margot

[KirstenBlest]

Cleo, definitely.

[cptartapp]

Many many Margots at the minute.
I would avoid.

[sunnydayys]

Sorry I don't like Cleo, she'll get nicknamed Renault

[Hollyppp]

I really like both! Probably prefer Margot. I really like Monica too

[LilyLemonade]

The car is Clio not Cleo.

(I like Clio too!)

[continentallentil]

Cleo - although I think I like Clio better still

I also really like Margot but it’s very very popular right now
