Margo, Margot or Margaux?

Girl Names

Hey berries!

I really like [name]Margo[/name] as a middle name, but I was wondering what your favourite spelling was. All of them are pronounced marr-go.

[name]Margo[/name]
[name]Margot[/name]
[name]Margaux[/name]

Please comment on each, say your favourite spelling and why. Also, I really like the combo [name]Juniper[/name] [name]Margo[/name]/[name]Margot[/name]/[name]Margaux[/name]. What do you think? Does it go? Does the spelling make a difference in the name?

Thanks :slight_smile:

1 [name]Margot[/name] - I like this French spelling - it’s sophisticated and elegant. It looks the most complete.
2 [name]Margo[/name] - I’m not crazy about this but it’s better than [name]Margaux[/name].
3 [name]Margaux[/name] - faux-French and the name of a wine brand called Chateau [name]Margaux[/name].

In order of preference:

[name]Juniper[/name] [name]Margot[/name] - just right!
[name]Juniper[/name] [name]Margo[/name] - ok
[name]Juniper[/name] [name]Margaux[/name] - over-the-top

[name]Margaux[/name] is the only spelling that makes the name tolerable. I don’t like the sound of it–like a toddler learning to talk.

4

[name]Margot[/name] is my fave. [name]Margo[/name] seems incomplete and Margeaux would constantly get miss-spelt.

5

I like [name]Margot[/name] the best, followed by [name]Margo[/name]. [name]Margaux[/name] is just wrong and makes me want to say “mar-gawks”.

haha

6

I agree with [name]Mischa[/name]'s assessment. I love [name]Margot[/name]!!

7

Totally agree with [name]Mischa[/name].

[name]Margot[/name] FTW!

8

[name]Margot[/name] is the true French spelling and my favorite. Margeaux is pretty, but a “fake” spelling. [name]Margo[/name] seems incomplete to me and not as sophisticated.

9

[name]Margot[/name]- I love this spelling
[name]Margo[/name]- is nice enough
[name]Margaux[/name]- feels try-hard to me. The least down-to-earth of the three imo.

10

[name]Margot[/name] is my favorite! [name]Margo[/name] looks incomplete, [name]Margot[/name] looks classy and quirky, [name]Margaux[/name] looks kind of strippery. [name]Juniper[/name] [name]Margot[/name] is kind of heavy on the ‘r’ sounds, but I still like it!

11

[name]Margot[/name] is the best. [name]Margaux[/name] looks like a headache, while [name]Margo[/name] feels incomplete. [name]Juniper[/name] [name]Margot[/name] is absolutely stunning.

12

I like [name]Margaux[/name] but I fear it’s not very Pronounceable. [name]Margot[/name] is my choice because its a little different but not too exotic.

13

[name]Margot[/name], for all of the reasons.

14

Thanks guys :slight_smile: [name]Juniper[/name] [name]Margot[/name] has made it onto the list

15

I kind of agree with most everyone. I like [name]Margot[/name] best. [name]Margo[/name] would be second, but seems incomplete. I am not a fan of the last spelling.

16

Margeaux seems to be trying a little too hard.
[name]Margot[/name] is very pretty.
[name]Margo[/name] is nice but seems a bit incomplete to me.

17

Of the 3 names [name]Margaux[/name] is the most popular in [name]France[/name] — calling it a “fake” spelling is a bit harsh…

The “x” spelling is my favourite, but I think [name]Margot[/name] is probably the simplest and easiest to work with. That being said, I think the names sound awful in English ([name]MAR[/name]-gow rather than marh-GO).

18

[name]Margaux[/name] is a more recent spelling and pays homage to Chateau [name]Margaux[/name].

19

[name]Margot[/name] is a winner definitely! I love that. [name]Margo[/name] doesn’t feel complete. Without the “t” at the end my mind immediately thinks of the film “[name]Argo[/name].”
[name]Margaux[/name] is setting your child up for spelling errors and mispronunciation. It also takes away from the beauty of the name and doesn’t look as pretty written down. [name]Margot[/name] is the way to go, no doubt.

If you’re still unsure about it… I also love [name]Amargot[/name] which is Latin and means “everlasting.”

Good luck.
[name]Love[/name] & Blessings! xo

No it doesn’t — it doesn’t even resemble a Latin word.
