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.

It’s lovely but very, very common if that’s something that would bother you

You could go with the French Margaux to avoid the maggot problem

Love it

@Edenmum2 , too close to Magnox.

Not keen on Margot.

I'm not a fan, but can't explain why. I am clearly in the minority, as it is a popular name now. Really love Maggie though.

Margot already is the French version; Margaux is a wine!

I know a little Margot. Lovely name.

It's a nice combination, with meaning for you.

How is Alysia pronounced?
Aleecia, Alissia, Aleesha?

Lovely

Being an old person, I think of Fonteyn, so I love it.

It's a name everyone loves on Mumsnet but I'm not overly keen. I just imagine a very posh, 60 year old woman. Despite that association, I don't particularly like the sound either.

I think of the Margot Leadbetter played by the fabulous Penelope Keith. I love it.

Yes there's a few near to us now and I really like it .

Not my cup of tea. Id go with Alyssia Margot Y......

I really dislike the name Margot. But there is nothing wrong with it it's just personal taste. It isn't possible to find a name everyone will like

I would steer away from unusual spellings and I prefer Margaret to Margot but Margot is a fine name and will be easy to live with .

I love Margot, I would go for the spelling Alicia for the middle name as I think it compliments Margot better than a more modern spelling, but they sound nice together. Margot is quite popular but I don’t think that should put you off off you like it.

I love Margot, but Margaret is hideous IMO, I'm amazed some people prefer it as to me it's a name for a cow on a farm. I think it's really dated and just reminds of the bloke on Little Britain who is always shouting it to his wife upstairs.

No, Margaux is the more popular French spelling actually!

I prefer Margaux as it looks softer and avoids the Mar-gott pronunciation

Super popular round our way now! I do like it though x

lovely!

I know one ...she's primary age
LOVE IT

Maggot, also sounds harsh , think it’s an ugly sounding name , I’m not keen on hard G sounds and cannot understand how it’s so popular. Hideous. Saying that it’s not my kid - and you probably wouldn’t like my names so fill your boots!

I don’t think it’s a flash in the pan or especially dated, I know preteen Margots.

I love the combination but just so you know you’ll never get a consensus on these boards - I have two children with ‘marmite’ names according to Mumsnet, I asked for votes on both and got a 50/50 love it v ‘ugh’ response :)
