Margaret, Julia, Olivia or Gwyneth?
Which would you choose for your daughter if you didn't mind popularity?
Thanks! :)

It's between Julia and Olivia for me...
... and despite popularity, I think I'll go with Olivia.

Margaret, hands down! Julia and Olivia are overused, and I used to know a Gwyneth whose parents used a Gwynnath variant that burned my eyes; plus, mother and daughter couldn't pronounce the -th sound so it came out Gwynnaff. Not good.
Margaret is lovely and versatile and actually a family name going back to the 1840s.

Margaret, then Gwyneth
Margaret! Traditional and very pretty, in my opinion. The name brings to mind an intelligent, intuitive girl. It has a decent selection of nicknames as well.
After that I would choose Olivia, then Gwyneth. I'm not a fan of Julia.

Julia. It's one of my favorite names anyways.
Definitely Margaret (nn Meg or Daisy)
I would probably go with Julia. I think it's beautiful. I also like Olivia.
Gwyneth has never done much for me. I don't really care for the sound of it, but I may warm up to it one day.
Margaret is my least favorite. I find it dull and frumpy to be honest.

Margaret (m)...
a thousand times Margaret.

Julia.
Margaret
Tough choice between Julia and Margaret. I think I like them both equally, but Margaret is seeming a little more elegant right now.

Considering my family and how I want the name I would choose for a daughter to fit in, I would choose Julia, but I actually prefer Gwyneth, or Margaret but only with the nn Maggie.
Gwyneth.
Olivia
1. Julia
2. Olivia
3. Gwyneth (I'd much prefer Gwen)
4. Margaret (although, if she were to be called Maggie, I'd list this as third)
Olivia.
They are all good, but, probably, Julia.Second choice, Gwyneth. Margaret is a fine name, but tends to be pronounced "Margret", leaving out the "a".
Margaret, of course!
Since we've been planning on using it for our first daughter for years.

Definitely not Gwyneth, but I can't choose between the other three. Probably Margaret.
Margaret
Julia comes in 2nd, Gwyneth in 3rd, and Olivia in 4th.

Olivia!
But Gwyneth is a close second. I don't think I would ever choose Margaret. It makes me think of someone chubby with red cheeks. Which is funny because I know a Margaret and she's nothing like that.

Margaret
I hope to use it someday. Margaret is a timeless classic.

Gwyneth, followed closely by Julia. I love both of these. I think Margaret and Olivia are very nice names, but they don't tug at my heart strings.
I like Olivia

I've been seriously crushing on Margaret lately. It's my SIL's name so I'd have an easy time getting dh to use it. I love the down to earth, no-nonsense feel of Margaret. It's very enduring.
Funny that you have Julia right next to Margaret in the title. I've been playing with Julia as a mn for Margaret. Or, if I'm feeling really ambitious, Margaret Julia Siobhan.
My second choice would be Gwyneth. I love the Celtic flair of it. Actually, Gwyneth Olivia makes a nice combo too -- although someone on these boards has Gwyneth Eleanor as a combo which I find hard to top.

probably Gwyneth. Gwen/Gwyn is a very cute nickname, i think.
Julia
I prefer Julia , even that Margaret and Olivia are beautiful names
