[Opinions] Margaret or Margot?
Replies
Margaret. No contest.
, even though it sounds old fashioned to me.
Margaret, in English, has a long and distinguished history and a variety of nicknames to suit every taste.
Margot, in French, is no doubt fine.
Margot, in English, is a recent arrival with a pleasant association with Margot Fonteyn - but that was a stage name, picked because it was exotic. Not being French, or in need of a stage name, I wouldn't like being a Margot, though I'd be a Margaret quite happily.
