HelpMargot
Do you like the name, and, if so, which form do you prefer?
Margaux
Margo
Margot
Marigot (I knew one in high school, it was pronounced like "Mary go." [i came back to edit to add in a closing perenthesis but now that I am here I think I will leave it open as an e.e. cummings tribute and i will also leave this backet open
I love it personally, and its retro flair. It doesn't appeal to my classical and imperialist tastes, but I am one of many styles and facets. Penelope Margot is a favorite.

Really?
Huh, Margot is a long-time favourite of mine, and it usually gets mixed reviews, skewing negative...granted I agree that the -o ending has the supertrend potential. Neither usual spelling is in the American top 1000, and it seems to be holding steady in the Quebec list around #500 or 10 per year, so what is it about the name that makes your super-trend radar go off?
Margaux is wine, lol.

I love Margaux spelled exactly the way I wrote it. My second spelling choice would be Margo. Based soley on asthetics. Margot just looks too much like maggot to me.
It sounds beautiful and elegant. I have tried many times to push it as a MN to my husband but he resists :0) I also LOVE Marguerite. It strikes me the same as Margaux, but a little more reserved.

I really like Margot, but the spelling does remind me of maggot. As for the other spellings, they do not appeal to me either.
I have only known one Margo(t) - I am not sure of the spelling. She was so rough, crude and revolting that I really found her pretty name the antithesis of her personality. It was very bizarre.
Still I love the sound of Margot, despite it.

No, I don't really like it.
Margot reminds me of "maggot" when written.
Margo looks unfinished.
Margaux was taken from the name of a wine-producing village outside Bordeaux and thus I don't see it as "authentic".
I like the French Marguerite but it seems, like Margaret, to be regarded as hopelessly outmoded. If I was to use Margot (after all, that is the authentic spelling!) I'd only use it as a nn for Marguerite (though Daisy might be a nn contender too!).
