[name_f]Margot[/name_f]. Definitely.
I just prefer the look of the [name_f]Margot[/name_f] spelling, but if you feel compelled to include your heritage in the name, then I don’t see any reason to not use the [name_f]Margo[/name_f] spelling.
As a matter of personal preference, I like the way [name_f]Margo[/name_f] looks. It makes it feel spunky and distances it from escargot.
I love the name [name_f]Margot[/name_f], but not [name_f]Margo[/name_f]. I feel like the name is meant to have the ‘t’ and without it, it suddenly goes from super trendy and feminine to masculine seeming [name_f]IMO[/name_f].
I think you should use the spelling you want. I prefer [name_f]Margot[/name_f]; and don’t think that a lot of people would actually use the t - yes, I know some people can’t pronounce [name_f]Ann[/name_f] correctly, but in general, I think it is a common name.
Unless the Hungarian thing really matters to you, who else cares? If someone wanted to name their child [name_f]Marie[/name_f], would they change it to [name_f]Mary[/name_f] because they were mostly English?
[name_f]Margot[/name_f]! It looks pretty and french
I prefer [name_f]Margo[/name_f]. Living in the states I’ve found that many people struggle with silent end consonants on names and I just think [name_f]Margo[/name_f] is short sweet and cute.
I prefer the [name_m]French[/name_m] version.
I prefer [name_f]Margot[/name_f].
[name_f]Margo[/name_f] reminds me of [name_m]Mango[/name_m] and though a lovely fruit, a not so lovely name association in my opinion.
I much prefer [name_f]Margot[/name_f], it looks much more complete than [name_f]Margo[/name_f]. I live in the states as well and I honestly don’t think there should be too many issues pronouncing [name_f]Margot[/name_f] correctly.
I also live in the states and I prefer [name_f]Margot[/name_f]. [name_m]Both[/name_m] are nice, but I just think [name_f]Margot[/name_f] looks more sophisticated 
However, given your family history, I think [name_f]Margo[/name_f] would be a perfectly fine option.
Whether you have pronunciation issues will probably depend on the area in which you live. I grew up in the rural South and no one would have known how to correctly pronounce [name_f]Margot[/name_f]. Since then, I have lived in the Northeast and in two southern cities, and I don’t think you would run into any pronunciation problems in any of those places.
Yep, my thoughts exactly!
I’ve read that some people with the name [name_f]Margot[/name_f] get teased as kids with the name Maggot. I’m not particularly fond of maggots so it makes me hesitate on the name with a -t spelling.
However, I have a friend named [name_f]Margot[/name_f] and the connection to Maggot has never occurred to me before. I pronounce the a sounds different in the two words ([name_f]Margot[/name_f] with a- like in art, and maggot with a- like in and) so they just don’t sound similar to me at all.
I was wondering if the connection to maggot is primarily in UK or Australia. [name_f]Do[/name_f] [name_f]Margot[/name_f] and Maggot sound very similar in other countries outside the US?
And secondly, would that potential teasing be enough to deter you from the name?
I’ve been considering Margo as well and have discussed with some friends. I’ve been told people have known Margot’s and that the “t” caused teasing and mispronunciation. My preference would definitely be to go with Margo. Wouldn’t want to put my kid through that. Margo is cute and simple. To me, it doesn’t look incomplete.
