HelpRe: Margot or Margo?
in reply to a message by Dwarf Star
I've encountered Margo more than I have Margot, so I doubt that people will think that Margo is made up. It's a widely accepted spelling.
I don't think that you need to be French to use Margot. I've encountered people who weren't French named Margot and didn't think anything of it. I don't think that Margot seems pretentious, but if you'd rather avoid pronunciation issues, go with Margo. It'll make things easier in the States. I'm sure that there are quite a few people who are at least familiar with Margot, so even if you used Margot, I don't think that it would be all that problematic.
