Opinions on Margot?

[Cooldetective]

Margot Alysia Y_ as a full name.

Alysia is a modern take on my mother’s name, and Margaret is DH late GMs names - hence, Margot.

Love it!

Yes, nice

Beautiful and classic.

Gorgeous name & lovely sentiment behind it 🩷

It's a lovely name!

That chavvy TOWIE woman named her daughter Margot. I can’t think of her name. That would put me off.

Love it!

I don’t like it at all, it’s also massively popular recently and I think will date. It’s a faddy name.

I prefer Margaret to Margot. The other forms like Rita, Greta, Maggie, Daisy are also nicer.

How do you say Alysia? Alison or Alice are prettier.

Margot is OK but it's a bit trendy.

I always think of Maggot! 😬

I realise its similar to a family name, but personally, I don't like it. What was DH's GM's middle name?

Escargot

It also reminds of this story - According to a Hollywood legend there was a pointed verbal encounter between the movie siren Jean Harlow and the sharp-tongued English aristocrat Margot Asquith. When Harlow attended a party given by Asquith, the movie star presumptuously referred to the hostess by her first name, and she repeatedly mispronounced it as “Margott”, i.e., she pronounced a “t” at the end of the name. Eventually, Asquith responded with a squelcher:
No, no, Jean. The ‘t’ is silent, as in Harlow.

And then there's - Margot Robbie reveals the surprising reason her school friends call her 'Maggot': 'That has been my nickname since I was six years old!'

Lovely name

Lovely name, but too popular at the moment.

Both names are lovely and flow together well. Makes me think of flowers.

It’s really popular right now, but I named one of my children a name that became really popular very quickly after they were born without realising that would happen! There are many of them a little younger than him. It doesn’t seem to bother him.

I like the spelling Margo better because my brain sees “maggot” when I see it written with a “t”.

I really love the name though.

I always think of the annoying neighbour in the good life. I find it quite ugly.

I can’t understand why it’s suddenly so popular. If you’d said that 20 years ago people wouldn’t have believed you. I also think of the Good Life when I hear it. I don’t like it.

@welcometonewyorkitsbeenwaitingforyou , Margot Robbie.

Lovely name.

I would also suggest Margaret over Margot simply due to the current popularity.

Margot is truly frumpy to me and looks like Maggot I'm afraid. Alyssia is beautiful.

I love the name and was on my list - called DD Etta in the end.

Margot is lovely. I know a 56 year old, an 18 year old and an 11 year old. That’s a pretty good age spread. I don’t think it’s ‘of the moment’ at all. Rather timeless.
