I [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] [name_f]Margot[/name_f]! It sounds great as [name_f]Nell[/name_f]’s sister! It is not at all too popular. I would say [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] is more so. [name_f]Viola[/name_f] is very close to the VERY popular [name_f]Violet[/name_f].
Out of your other choices, I like [name_f]Thea[/name_f] the best. However, [name_f]Margot[/name_f] is definitely my favorite.
[name_f]Nell[/name_f] is stunning and I love it with [name_f]Margot[/name_f]. I don’t think [name_f]Margot[/name_f] is overly popular
[name_f]Ida[/name_f] and [name_f]Viola[/name_f] are also great choices and I’d throw in [name_f]Daphne[/name_f], [name_f]Lois[/name_f] [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] and [name_f]Nina[/name_f] too
I love [name_f]Frida[/name_f] with [name_f]Nell[/name_f] and [name_f]Margot[/name_f] would be my second choice - you have some really lovely options though
[name_f]Nell[/name_f] is on my list and so is [name_f]Ida[/name_f] so I love those two together.
I also think [name_f]Margot[/name_f] and [name_f]Frida[/name_f] go very nicely with [name_f]Nell[/name_f].
[name_f]Thea[/name_f] is also cute. I don’t love [name_f]Viola[/name_f], [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f], [name_u]Wren[/name_u] or [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] though.
[name_f]Nell[/name_f] is one of my absolute favorite names–and I think [name_f]Margot[/name_f] works well. Other names I like with [name_f]Nell[/name_f] are [name_f]Tess[/name_f], [name_f]Audrey[/name_f], and [name_f]Mae[/name_f].
[name_f]Nell[/name_f] has been on my shortlist for years! Sibset names I have considered the longest are [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f], [name_u]Jean[/name_u], [name_f]Mae[/name_f], [name_f]Clementine[/name_f], [name_f]Winnie[/name_f], [name_f]Hope[/name_f], [name_f]Rose[/name_f], [name_f]Pearl[/name_f], [name_f]Effie[/name_f] and [name_f]Tamsin[/name_f] for startters.
I think [name_f]Margot[/name_f] definitely works as [name_f]Nell[/name_f] sister and is not too popular at all. I haven’t met any [name_f]Margot[/name_f]’s!
From all the names you’ve suggested my favourite is [name_f]Thea[/name_f]. [name_f]Thea[/name_f] is gorgeous really spunky and has a nickname vibe that [name_f]Nell[/name_f] has too. [name_f]Thea[/name_f] & [name_f]Nell[/name_f] just work perfectly together!
[name_f]Margot[/name_f] is fantastic as [name_f]Nell[/name_f]’s sister! [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] and [name_f]Thea[/name_f] are also gorgeous with [name_f]Nell[/name_f] and [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] is a lovely match too. [name_f]Frida[/name_f] and [name_f]Viola[/name_f] would work too, I just don’t personally love them the way I do the others. If you’re open to suggestions, I think [name_f]Nell[/name_f] and [name_u]June[/name_u] are beautiful together.
I like [name_f]Nell[/name_f] with [name_f]Margot[/name_f], [name_f]Ida[/name_f], and [name_f]Thea[/name_f]. I also like [name_f]Nell[/name_f] with [name_u]June[/name_u], [name_f]Opal[/name_f], [name_u]Jean[/name_u], and [name_u]Kit[/name_u].
I’m not sure if [name_f]Margot[/name_f] is too popular. It is rising the charts, & I wouldn’t be super surprised if it cracked the top 100 in the next couple of years. It’s a cute name though, & goes well w/[name_f]Nell[/name_f].
Here are my thoughts on the rest of your list:
[name_f]Ida[/name_f]-This is certainly unique, short & sweet. I like it a lot w/[name_f]Nell[/name_f].
[name_f]Thea[/name_f]-This is adorable. Seems pretty perfect, really. It’s actually more popular than [name_f]Margot[/name_f] & rising though.
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f]-This is okay. I like it, but it’s not my favorite for some reason. Seems a tiny bit clunky.
[name_u]Wren[/name_u]-This is not my personal favorite, but I kind of love it w/[name_f]Nell[/name_f]. And it’s fairly unique.
[name_f]Viola[/name_f]-Same as above, honestly.
[name_f]Frida[/name_f]-I don’t know. I can’t get into this one. It just reminds me of a cranky old [name_m]German[/name_m] lady for some reason. I actually even know a cute little girl with the name too.
[name_f]Ophelia[/name_f]-This is a bit fancy next to [name_f]Nell[/name_f], but kind of a cool name.
A few other suggestions:
[name_f]Bette[/name_f]-I prefer for a nn, but I think it could work on its own.
Thanks for the comments! We haven’t met any other baby Nells in [name_f]Nell[/name_f]’s 3 years, and I would love that for her baby sister because my name is so common. We met a baby [name_f]Margot[/name_f] on the playground the other day.
Other names we have crossed off our list (leftovers from [name_f]Nell[/name_f]) are [name_f]Alice[/name_f], [name_f]Sadie[/name_f], [name_f]Heidi[/name_f], [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f]. I was so in love with [name_f]Alice[/name_f] and [name_f]Sadie[/name_f], but decided they were used too much.
