Audrey or Maude

[everly]

For twin sister to Margot.

I love both! Sorry not helpful.

How about Audra? I remember years ago watching Act of Will which had an Audra played by Victoria Tennant, what happened to her I wonder. Quick google tells me it means noble strength!

Audrey. It’s an elegant name.

I think it's interesting that they both have similar meanings. Audrey "noble strength" and Maude "strong in battle". Was that deliberate?
Of the two, I like Audrey better, although Maude is my mum's name so I've enjoyed seeing it get (some) love on here ❤️
Also like Eliza and Sylvie. Don't love Daphne; prefer Delphine.

I like neither Matilda or Mabel.

Im rather in love with Polly though as I’ve just met an enchanting teen who wears is beautifully. The “Oh” would go well with Margot (which is also beautiful).

I also love Daphne, and plan to call my miniature dachshund of the future once my aunt of the same same is gone.

No don’t use either both ugly names, you can’t have Margot a beautiful name with an ugly one, what other names have you got a choice of?

I prefer Audrey because I love the name Audra.

They’re both awful but Maude really is so drab. I would hate to be called Maude.

Maeve is nice.

I’d go with Aude! Half wast between the two. I also I know a gorgeous little French Aude. She also gets called Audie.

@LoveMaths Oh yes, Maeve is lovely.

Martha + Margot

Maud is a pretty name, prefer it to Audrey.

I had an aunt - born in the mid 1920s - who was named Vivienne Maud. Her first name was my paternal grandmother's name. Aunt preferred Maud. I never got this because Vivienne seemed much nicer to me, plus the shortening made her Auntie Maudie which seemed even less of a good idea.

I don't think Margot is the same vibe as either option. In popular culture Margot was a character played by Penelope Keith and her next comic role was Audrey.

Audrey is beautiful

My first thought, too!! Very amused at both our silly senses of humour @wertgyhjk !!

Neither. Both depressing!

I like both but I prefer the way Margot and Maud sound together. I prefer Maud without the -e personally.

I doubt is, Margaret is much less popular. Margot is very trendy in the generation she will be in.

Margot is 28th most popular girls' name in England and Wales in 2024. Margo 392 and Margaux 418. All higher than Margaret at 493.

Sylvie/Sylvia is far prettier than either Audrey or Maud, but if it has to be between those two, then Audrey is marginally better.

Maude is awful.

I love Maud (prefer that spelling). Not hugely keen on Audrey but it's not awful and it goes better with Margot.

Love Margot and Daphne! That would be my pick.

@LivingTheDreamish I think they sound like characters from an Agatha Christie mystery, 1930’s glamour. Which isn’t a bad thing!
