Margot or Nancy?

[Nellie90]

Any opinions on Margot or Nancy? Due in a few days 😅.

Also can't decide on a boy name AT ALL.....

Love Nancy! Margot as a middle name?

Nancy!

Boy suggestions - Barnaby, Gideon, Jerome (Jem), Kit, Marcus.

Margot. Love it.

Both were on my girl’s list. A boy would have been Louis.

Margot

Nancy.

Love Gideon as suggested by a PP. Also Rufus, Byron, Jacob, Oscar.

Nancy.

Margots are 20 a penny at the moment.

Like them both, but Margots are everywhere rn.

Margaux is a nicer spelling imo.

Nancy. Margot is hideous and looks like maggot.

Don't like either of them

Nancy, it’s a great name!

I really like Rupert, Arthur and Gabriel for boys but I think all have risen in popularity recently if that bothers you.

Thanks for the quick replies! I do worry Margot seems to have become very popular.

We were set on the name Laurie for a boy but now I'm not sure. I worry people won't pronounce/ spell it correctly and I don't like Laurence/Lawrence as a full name.

Contenders are: Arthur, Samuel, Arlo, Dylan and Sid.

Margaux is a wine, as Hemingway knew. Like naming your daughter Chardonnay!

Margot is nice but I adore Nancy!

Nancy

They are both great - but Margot so popular just now.

I really like Laurence nn Laurie
like Sidney nn Sid
wouldn’t use either nn as a full name

Samuel is solid but a wee bit dull. I love Arthur but done to death, Arlo is a bit faddy and very overdone lately. Not keen on Dylan for some reason.

Stanley
Ernest nn Ernie
Corin
Kester
Zachary nn Zach
Patrick
Barnaby nn Barney might be others

Nancy. Don't like Margot.

Nancy is my real name & it’s definitely become more popular in recent years (I’m used to being the only Nancy, when I’m hearing little Nancy being told off in the supermarket I think mum is shouting at me!)

I really like both! I also love the Welsh spelling of Nancy- Nansi

Nancy, Margot just looks and sounds so ugly

I must be the only one not to like Nancy. I prefer Margot.
I like Laurie, I would go with Laurence.
What’s difficult about the pronunciation of Laurie? It seems straightforward to me.

@Daffodilwoman the American pronunciation is more "law-ree" and the English "Lorry."

@nancy75 what a great name! It must be funny for you hearing it on small people now.

@ConsistentlyPeeved I am actually Welsh and like the spelling too but live in England so Nancy might be an easier spelling but thank you for the suggestion 😊.

I think Nancy sort of grows on you. I know a few very old ones who are really Ann. The granny names came round again, and I find myself liking ones like Nancy and Bessie, when 30yrs ago I'd have thought them a bit old-fashioned.

I’m not keen on Margot, but Nancy is growing on me after reading this thread!

I like Laurie and Samuel from your boy names, and Sid (but not with Nancy)…

Both very pretty, I always loved Margot but have a feeling they will be a surge this year after the barbie movie!

I think I'm more team Nancy!

It's nice to hear Laurie gets a nice reception. I just have a name people struggle to spell so worry the same for the baby. We shall see what it is soon! 😊

I don't think there'll be much of a Barbie effect as the Margot surge is already well underway.
