Brother names for Margot

Any ideas for brother names for [name_f]Margot[/name_f]?

I love [name_m]Arthur[/name_m], but DH is lukewarm.

DH likes [name_m]Cormac[/name_m], but I am lukewarm.

We both like two-syllable names, but not required.

Our last name ends in -en, so don’t want a first name that ends with that same sound ([name_m]Ethan[/name_m], etc).

We are not [name_m]French[/name_m], so going with another [name_m]French[/name_m] name feels overboard. But, those tend to be the names I think sound best with [name_f]Margot[/name_f] ([name_m]Felix[/name_m], etc.).

I like vintage, DH is all over the board, but tends to prefer names with a snappier but clean sound.

Ideas?

I think [name_m]Felix[/name_m] is a good choice. It doesn’t sound [name_m]French[/name_m] to me.

[name_u]Everett[/name_u]
[name_m]Frederick[/name_m]
[name_m]Isaac[/name_m]
[name_m]Julian[/name_m]
[name_m]Leo[/name_m]
[name_m]Oliver[/name_m]
[name_m]Oscar[/name_m]
[name_m]Philip[/name_m]
[name_u]Toby[/name_u]
[name_m]Wyatt[/name_m]

Thanks for the suggestions! We were considering [name_u]Everett[/name_u] as a middle name, since it’s in DH family tree.

I like [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] and [name_m]Julian[/name_m]. A lot of the other names are in our family/friends circle unfortunately ([name_m]Oscar[/name_m], [name_m]Isaac[/name_m], [name_m]Wyatt[/name_m], [name_m]Leo[/name_m]). But this feels like the right style!

My first thought was [name_m]Hugo[/name_m]. I find [name_f]Margot[/name_f] and [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] quite nice together.

[name_m]Henry[/name_m]
seems also nice next to margot.

[name_f]Margot[/name_f] & [name_m]Jasper[/name_m]
[name_f]Margot[/name_f] & [name_m]Atticus[/name_m]
[name_f]Margot[/name_f] & [name_u]Sawyer[/name_u]
[name_f]Margot[/name_f] & [name_m]Louis[/name_m]/[name_m]Lewis[/name_m]
[name_f]Margot[/name_f] & [name_m]Levi[/name_m]
[name_f]Margot[/name_f] & [name_m]Otto[/name_m]
[name_f]Margot[/name_f] & [name_u]Jude[/name_u]
[name_f]Margot[/name_f] & [name_u]Dean[/name_u]
[name_f]Margot[/name_f] & [name_m]Cesar[/name_m]

I love [name_f]Margot[/name_f]! I had 2 dogs, [name_f]Margot[/name_f] & [name_m]Ogden[/name_m], I think those go so cute together. [name_m]Ogden[/name_m] might fit into your style better than his.

[name_f]Margot[/name_f] & [name_m]Conrad[/name_m]?

[name_f]Margot[/name_f] is lovely.

You mention [name_m]Arthur[/name_m], [name_m]Cormac[/name_m], and [name_m]Felix[/name_m]. They all sound fine with [name_f]Margot[/name_f], though [name_m]Felix[/name_m] has that snappier, clean sound you so aptly describe that [name_f]Margot[/name_f] also has.

[name_f]Margot[/name_f] and [name_m]Dermot[/name_m]? (Reminds me a bit of [name_m]Cormac[/name_m], ends like [name_f]Margot[/name_f])

[name_f]Margot[/name_f] and [name_u]Francis[/name_u]?

[name_f]Margot[/name_f] and [name_m]Giles[/name_m]?

[name_f]Margot[/name_f] and [name_m]Robert[/name_m]?

[name_f]Margot[/name_f] and [name_m]Franz[/name_m]?

[name_u]Leslie[/name_u]

Ooh, I like [name_f]Margot[/name_f] and [name_m]Felix[/name_m]. For the record, I don’t think the average person would hear those two names and think, “Oh, they must be [name_m]French[/name_m]!”

Other ideas:

[name_f]Margot[/name_f] and [name_u]Dexter[/name_u]
[name_f]Margot[/name_f] and [name_m]Graham[/name_m]
[name_f]Margot[/name_f] and [name_m]Linus[/name_m]
[name_f]Margot[/name_f] and [name_m]Rhett[/name_m]
[name_f]Margot[/name_f] and [name_m]Rupert[/name_m]
[name_f]Margot[/name_f] and [name_m]Victor[/name_m]

Ha! I love this too, but turns into a sort of ronchy statement when said with our last name. Hard to explain, but definitely out. :slight_smile:

Have personal associations with both of these names, unfortunately!

Like the ideas of [name_u]Francis[/name_u] and [name_m]Dermot[/name_m]. [name_m]Will[/name_m] add those to the list! Neither feel quite right for a few reasons, but I like where this is going!

Thanks so much for the ideas, everyone! This is so tough! I feel like most of these have either been nixed by DH or we have a personal reason not to use. Darn! Am I being too picky? I feel like our totally different styles just meshed in [name_f]Margot[/name_f] and I’m waiting for that same sense of rightness.

I really like [name_m]Graham[/name_m], but DH says no. What? Ha.

[name_f]Adore[/name_f] [name_u]Francis[/name_u], but this name is in the family already.

[name_m]Rupert[/name_m] and [name_m]Jasper[/name_m] are dogs I know. :slight_smile:

Etc. etc.

Going back to [name_m]Frederick[/name_m]. Hmm…[name_u]Freddie[/name_u].

If it helps, [name_m]Felix[/name_m] is latin first in origin. I wouldn’t think you were aiming for a [name_m]French[/name_m] theme if I saw [name_f]Margot[/name_f] and [name_m]Felix[/name_m] (which I love together).
