[name]Margot[/name] - it’s just a great, classy and well known but not overused name. I mildly prefer the [name]Margo[/name] spelling.
[name]Mina[/name] - pretty and clear and easy,only concern is it’s a little bit lightweight.
[name]Marlow[/name] - I really like the sound of this, I just happen to prefer the spelling [name]Marlo[/name]…
[name]Maeva[/name] - I like [name]Maeve[/name] but I feel it loses a little something by adding the a, but [name]Maeva[/name] is still OK
[name]Maelie[/name] - I feel like the spelling and prn of this one are complicated and it looks like it’s just following the [name]Bailey[/name]/[name]Kaylee[/name] etc trend.

[name]Margot[/name] - classic but unusual, great for a child or adult.
[name]Mina[/name] - pretty, and again classic.
[name]Maeva[/name] - Interesting twist on [name]Maeve[/name]. [name]Don[/name]'t love it.
[name]Marlow[/name] - Really don’t care for this. Nothing wrong with it, just not my style.
[name]Maelie[/name] - This seems made up and more suited to a child. I think that a child named [name]Maelie[/name] would have to spell her name all the time. [name]Maelie[/name] might be a cute nickname for [name]Maeve[/name], [name]Madeline[/name], [name]Margaret[/name], etc.

You run the gamut for me from a name I really love ([name]Margot[/name]) to one that I, personally, quite dislike ([name]Maelie[/name]).

[name]Maeva[/name] - unique and stunning with an elegant pronunciation and super cute nn options
[name]Mina[/name] - puts me in mind of [name]Mina[/name] Harker. Swoon!
[name]Margot[/name] - I vastly prefer the spelling Margeaux, but even so the name comes up average for me
[name]Maelie[/name] - this seems overly trendy to me, along the lines of the [name]Bailey[/name]/[name]Kaylee[/name]/[name]Hayley[/name] fad
[name]Marlow[/name] - doesn’t seem as feminine as the others…and I have the unfortunate association with the huge yellow Labrador I had as a child, named [name]Marlo[/name]…once you associate a name with a dog, it never seems to fit right on a little girl

[name]Mina[/name]- This name is super appealing to me, either as a full name or a nickname for [name]Wilhelmina[/name]. I think it’s short and sweet.
[name]Margot[/name]- The only reason [name]Margot[/name] is in second place is that it lacks some of the luster I see in [name]Mina[/name]. Still very pretty, in a sensible way.
[name]Maeva[/name]- I like just regular [name]Maeve[/name], but this is nice.
[name]Marlow[/name]- Not a favorite, but it’s nice enough.
[name]Maelie[/name]- [name]Don[/name]'t like this at all. It seems like an awkward smoosh of [name]Mae[/name] and [name]Lee[/name].

[name]Athena[/name]

I can’t decide between [name]Margot[/name] and [name]Marlow[/name] so I didn’t vote. I love them both!

Sis · October 30, 2012, 8:22pm

[name]Marlow[/name] - This is my favourite, though I considerably prefer the spelling [name]Marlowe[/name].
[name]Maelie[/name] - It’s a little on the trendy side, but it’s very pretty
[name]Mina[/name] - NMS but pretty
[name]Maeva[/name] - I prefer [name]Maeve[/name]
[name]Margot[/name] - I realise I’m in the minority, but I have never liked this name.

gwen5 · October 30, 2012, 8:24pm

[name]Margot[/name] - I prefer the [name]Margo[/name] spelling better which is why I voted for [name]Marlow[/name] instead
[name]Marlow[/name] - I really like this name, just not sure whether I like this spelling or [name]Marlo[/name] better…
[name]Mina[/name] - Its okay
[name]Maelie[/name] - It kind of sounds like a made up variation of [name]Malia[/name]
[name]Maeva[/name] - Not a fan.

roseymaam · October 30, 2012, 9:06pm

[name]Maelie[/name]- but only if it’s pronounced the My-[name]LEE[/name]
[name]Maeva[/name]
[name]Mina[/name]
[name]Marlowe[/name]
[name]Margot[/name]

libbyj06 · October 30, 2012, 9:37pm

I voted for [name]Maelie[/name]. I’ll suggest [name]Meredith[/name], [name]Madeleine[/name] and [name]Marguerite[/name] though in case you are looking for more options!

[name]Maelie[/name] is a guilty pleasure of mine, but I prefer the spelling Maylea.

I knew everyone was going to love [name]Margot[/name], but I can’t stand it. It seems clunky and ugly, and it reminds me of the word maggot (sorry).

[name]Maeva[/name] and [name]Mina[/name] are quite lovely.

[name]Marlow[/name]/e looks and sounds masculine.

I love [name]Mina[/name] and [name]Margot[/name]. I think I love [name]Mina[/name] more, but I voted for [name]Margot[/name]. It probably has to do with the fact that my neighbor has a really annoying poodle named [name]Mina[/name]. While I love the name, as I was hovering over it I got the image of that dog in my brain.

I prefer [name]Maeva[/name]. Other M names you might like:
[name]Merida[/name]
[name]Matilda[/name]
[name]Margaret[/name]
[name]May[/name]
[name]Mabel[/name]
[name]Mila[/name]

[name]Margot[/name] is my favourite. I quite like Margeurite with the nickname [name]Margot[/name].
