Help[Opinions] Re: Margaret/Marguerite
in reply to a message by Genevieve
1. I think Genevieve and Marguerite aren't too French, especially since they are after your own grandmothers and would have an English last name.
2. As much as it would be awesome to name your daughter Marguerite, since you have a niece Margaret I would probably avoid it. You could use Marguerite as a middle name totally. But I'd do it in two different kids too, so you don't have a Margaret Genevieve and a Genevieve Marguerite in your family.
Of course for all you know you'd only have boys. :) I try to not overthink stuff until it's actually happening.
Also my husband is the same with names. Trying to name Ben went like this:
Me: What names do you like?
Him: I dunno
Me: What names don't you like?
Him: I dunno
K, thanks

Haha I love the conversation with your husband. I feel like most discussions with the men in my family are like that, and then you suggest something because he won't give any input, and all of a sudden they have opinions on why they don't like your suggestion.

Yeah, agree on not overthinking things. We could have only boys! I just jumped on thinking about Marguerite after Kevin said he liked it. We're certainly not too tied to it; just thinking about it since he brought it up.

On the flip side it could be good to think about this sort of thing early too, I guess. If you decide you really shouldn't use it, then you could get your disappointment over with sooner (if you had any, that is). :)
