[Opinions] Re: Margaret/Marguerite
in reply to a message by Genevieve
1. Genevieve and Marguerite are adorable for sisters. I don't think the French thing is an issue.
2. You didn't pull Marguerite out of the ether. Just as your sister understands that Genevieve is a family name for you, and you're using it no matter what, she should understand that Marguerite is a name from your husband's family. I don't think it's weird, and I can't imagine it would cause any problems. Two cousins called Greta and Margo is no big deal, and the two girls might like sharing related first names. My cousins Laura and Lori loved it.
