Margot - is it too popular? Any alternatives?

We like the name Margot and the nickname Maggie, but are conscious that it has really risen in popularity in recent years. Would welcome thoughts on whether you think it is too popular and risks becoming overdone?

And would be keen to hear any suggestions of classic pretty names that are similar but maybe slightly less popular!

Thanks!

Margot is a French spelling too. Hence the silent T.

@mathanxiety ,my post was in reply to the poster who spelt it as Margeaux.

I love Margot but I work with infants and I’ve lost count of how many I’ve come across! Depends if you want her to be the only one or not with her name!

Other suggestions:
Aria
Penelope- Nelle
Halle/Hallie
Magnolia- Maggie
Malia
Nora
Maisie
Harlow
Lola
Lottie
Athena
Gigi
Kaia
Etta
Darla

It's very 'now' so may date, but if you like it, go for it.
