I find Marguerite (mahr-guh-reet) very old fashioned and peasant, and a bit too common. Sorry.

My dear ! are Alia, Eidel, Enola, Israel, Dudel and Yuri.

I think it is a very pretty name !! The French spelling of Margaret. It was my ggg grandmother's name so I like it for that reason. Her daughter's name was Marcelline so I was thinking Marguerite Marcelline or Marguerite Adele, Maguerite Sebastiana, Marguerite Delima, Marguerite Brigitte or Marguerite Anne Marie .

I love Marguerite

And I would pair it with a short mn. Not Rose or any other flower name though, since Marguerite is also a flower.

Marguerite Anne
Marguerite Belle
Marguerite Celeste
Marguerite Denise
Marguerite Elise
Marguerite Fay
Marguerite Joy (or Jane or Joelle)
Marguerite Louise
Marguerite Nicole

I like it. It's pretty and feminine, and definitely ONLY for a girl (by the way you wrote that post it almost looked like you were saying it's a potential boys' name too LOL... you never know these days.)

I strongly dislike its sound. In America you'd get mar-gyoo-REET which isn't remotely attractive to my ears. It also seems a bit over-the-top as a first name, so I'd probably keep it as a middle name.

I think it's a very beautiful name. It needs a short mn, though.

Marguerite Allexandra (that's how my best friend spells Allexandra, nickname Allexe) is my favorite combination!!!!!

I like Marguerite. It was my great-grandma's middle name. What about . . .

Go Cubs! Especially my "boyfriend" Mark Prior. Yay, he's back! :)

I always first think of Marguerite Henry, the author best known for Misty of Chincoteague. I never really liked horses, but I read as many of her books as I could, because my dad loved her when he was young, and I wanted to be like him. :) I always loved her name--and I really did enjoy King of the Wind. Great book, that.

Marguerite strikes me as a name that doesn't come with baggage. It's in a class with Rosemary, except without any bubblegum pop tunes to go with it. It could be an old woman, yes, but if you tilt your head a bit, it's very clear that Marguerite still has enough charm for mainstream American culture to handle.

I like Marguerite Rose, even though I'm not fond of Rose at all. It just sounds right, for some reason. Marguerite Florence, Marguerite Nancy, Marguerite Laura, Margeurite Clara, Marguerite Paula, or Marguerite Sara would all work nicely, too. A two-syllable name (preferably ending in A) with the stress on the first syllable helps to balance out Marguerite's lengthiness.

---

Good choice. As you can tell by all of this over one name, I'm definitely behind Marguerite. :)

I don't care for Marguerite. I think of the word margarita, and I think it lacks prettiness. And, while I don't care for Margaret, I prefer it over Marguerite. But, I fully prefer Margo.

---

As for middle names, I suggest Marguerite Virginia, Marguerite Elizabeth, and Marguerite Katherine.

Edit: Formatting.
