[Opinions] I adore Margot!
I never really thought of Margot until I met a little girl by that name. She was in a Sunday school I was teaching and visited with her two sisters Arrington and Julia Mary who were 4 and 3. Margot (the spelling may have been Margaux, I can't remember) was 2 years old, she was just adorable with blond ringlets close to her head and bright blue eyes and a cherub smile, the kind of cutie you fall in love with at once. So when I think of the name I usually associate it with her. I too am a fan of Agatha Christie's 'The Mirror Crack'd' but even the image ToveTer gave doesn't immediately come to mind. I think Margot definitely goes with Scarlett as a sister, actually much better than Willow does.
My absolute favorite Margot combo is Margot Eloise, it just seems to have light spunky air about it but still retains all the exquisite beauty of old-fashioned names. You are considering some beautiful combos, in particular I think that
Margot Alice, Margot Camille, Margot Hazel, Margot Adelaide, Margot Eleanor are just gorgeous!
Margot Beatrix is lovely but because they both have two syllables the flow of the combo is rather cut up. But if you were to use Beatrice (bee-uh-tris) or pronounce Beatrix like bee-uh-tix instead of bee-trix it would make the combo flow better. I think Margot Catherine, Margot Ruth, Margot Anne, and Margot Frances are so lovely but perhaps a little plain.These others are beautiful but either the flow is off or the names styles just don't seem to match.
Margot Priscilla
Margot Patience
Margot Primrose
Margot Lilias
Margot Gwendolyn
Margot AltheaI'm actually very intrigued by Margot Isemay. How would you pronounce Isemay exactly? It reminds me of another Margot combo I live, Margot Esme / Margot Esmee. I really love the M E combination of letters. Also what about:
Margot Elodie
Margot Evangeline
Margot Estee
Margot Eliza
Margot Evelyn
Margot Emilia
Margot Eve
Margot Estelle
Margot EloisaI hope this helps. I love the name Margot and I think it has a beautiful sound and is perfect for use today without all the popularity of names like Madison, Mackenzie or even Margaret.

Thank you so much for your detailed response- Your thoughts on the name echoed exactly what I was thinking- Thanks! I am really loving it but am still playing around with the spelling. I'm warming up to the Margaux spelling just because it avoids the 'o' in my last name and the 't' on Scarlett's...I also love your idea of Margot Eloise but because our last name has an 'o', it might be too much- it's a beautiful combo though. As for Isemay, it's pronounced Is- i- may....I do like it- ethereal sounding to my ears. I also loved your suggestions of Margot Estelle- sooo pretty- wil definitely run that by DH. As it stands, I'm leaning towards Margot Alice because it softens Margot a bit and also adds some spunk.....it was also my grandmother's middle name so I would like to use it.
Thanks again!!!
