Margot vs Evangeline?

I love both names but I will have to go with [name]Margot[/name]. I actually like [name]Margot[/name] and [name]Leo[/name] much better as a sibset than [name]Evangeline[/name] and [name]Leo[/name].

Maybe [name]Margot[/name] [name]Evangeline[/name]? I don’t think I could pick one over the other. [name]Both[/name] are very pretty and together I think it’s lovely.

[name]Margot[/name]; I second the description of it as charming, quirky and sophisticated. [name]Evangeline[/name] is pretty, but too evangelical for my taste. [name]Margot[/name] and [name]Leo[/name] are absolutely smashing together.

I adore [name]Margot[/name]! To me, it’s chic, intelligent, and kind. [name]Evangeline[/name] does have incredible nn’s, but [name]Margot[/name] is so great that it doesn’t need a nn! If you don’t have a mn lined up, [name]Margot[/name] [name]Evangeline[/name] would be fabulous. This way, you get the sleek [name]Margot[/name] in front while retaining the romantic influence of [name]Evangeline[/name].

I agree with this, and with posters who mentioned that [name]Margot[/name] is less frilly (yet still feminine imo).

Thank you guys SO much! I have been copying and pasting these responses to my husband while he’s at work :wink: I think the ones with the descriptions have swayed him the most. He definitely likes the idea of having a spunky, outdoorsy daughter. He loves to camp, hike, hunt etc so those descriptions were really helpful thank you!

We are still not 100% decided but leaning more towards [name]Margot[/name]. I absolutely [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Margot[/name] [name]Evangeline[/name] or [name]Margot[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] but our last name starts with an N so the initials would be MEN. Is that pretty bad right? And my husband doesn’t like the idea of two middle names so that is not an option.

I think our front runners are maybe [name]Margot[/name] [name]Victoria[/name] or [name]Margot[/name] [name]Catherine[/name]. Thoughts and/or suggestions?

I think the beauty of the name Margot Evangeline is worth the MEN initials. Personally :slight_smile:

The other choices are all pretty too. Margot Victoria is less expected, but Margot Elizabeth is also great.

Definitely [name]Margot[/name]!! I love it. I just can’t get on the [name]Evangeline[/name] bandwagon.

[name]Margot[/name] [name]Evangeline[/name] is so pretty - the MEN initials do not bother me at all. My second favorite is [name]Margot[/name] [name]Victoria[/name].

I love both, though I slightly prefer [name]Margaret[/name] to [name]Margot[/name]. For that reason I’d choose [name]Evangeline[/name]. Very sweet with lots of potential nicknames :slight_smile:

I like [name]Margot[/name] better. But you can’t really go wrong!

I think M.E.N. initials are no big deal, it’s not offensive and hardly anyone ever uses all three initials for anything.

I do like [name]Margot[/name] [name]Catherine[/name] and [name]Margot[/name] [name]Victoria[/name], too, though. You really can’t go wrong. :slight_smile:

A couple other ideas: [name]Margot[/name] [name]Valentine[/name] (has a similar feel to [name]Evangeline[/name]) or [name]Margot[/name] [name]Ivy[/name]

[name]Margot[/name]! It’s classic with a twist and it matches the spunkiness of [name]Leo[/name]. Plus the nicknames [name]Eve[/name]/[name]Evie[/name] are everywhere nowadays

all of your combos are beautiful. I see nothing wrong with the initials MEN, either. [name]Just[/name] wanted to chime in to say I have an [name]Evangeline[/name], and she is absolutely girly/princessy/beautiful, BUT she is also very spunky and loves sports and the outdoors. So, go with your gut but don’t get too caught up in how you think a name will define your daughter…she will make it her own, no matter what you choose. Best of luck!

I like them both, but I would have to go with [name]Evangeline[/name]. If it were just the [name]Margo[/name] spelling, I would have gone with that, but I really hate the “t” at the end of the other spelling.

[name]Evangeline[/name] by a mile. [name]Evie[/name] is such a cute nickname, as are all the other names associated with [name]Evangeline[/name]. [name]Margot[/name] reminds me of Maggot - the bug, and feels really outdated.

[name]Margot[/name] [name]Evangeline[/name] and you have the best of both worlds. I like the combo much more than the other ones you suggested although they are lovely too.

rollo (remember [name]Margot[/name] is my name and it is a great name one that has always made me feel strong, feminine and sophisticated.)

I love [name]Margot[/name] - I think it is classy but with more spunk. [name]Evangeline[/name] is nice too, but it is more of a frilly girly name - which may be right for you if that’s the style you like - just not mine.
I actually like [name]Margot[/name] and [name]Leo[/name] together - I don’t think they are too matchy.

I forgot to say the initials men are ok and they arrange them in a different way for a bag/crest.

Definitely [name]Evangeline[/name], awesomely simple and classic, yet not too common :slight_smile:
