Help[Opinions] Re: Rosemary, ETA
in reply to a message by mirfak
Not really. It only seems different to me in that it's more image conscious or dumbed down (ETA: I guess it should potentially seem more practical or unpretentious, but it's not how *I'd* intuitively spell it, and I'd expect the people I know are aware how Margot is pronounced, so for me it'd just mean dropping a letter for the convenience of people I don't even know because I'd be expectating ignorance); it doesn't strike me as more approachable or warmer.
Maybe Margaux / Margeaux is more approachable but in a trendy way like Emerson or Juneau or Chanel / Chantelle.
...I used to think I liked Margot, until I met one. I liked her. She was born in the 90s. But I didn't like saying her name; it just clashed. Then she told me about her snobby grandmother from Boston, and I thought...oh, that's Margot-style imv. I think it's an attractively short and stylish classic name still, but it's rare that names annoy me IRL on a likable person.
