Re: Margot or Margo?
in reply to a message by Dwarf Star
I live in the West Coast and I would only spell it Margot. I grew up in a rural area and now live in a big city. Everyone I know would pronounce Margot correctly. I don't see the necessity for a phonetic spelling of a well known classic like Margot. Besides, visually Margo always reminds me of cargo.
Margot is a fantastic name. I'd love to meet a little Margot one day. If some people mispronounce it, then one correction is all they need. Learning something new won't harm them. No big deal.
You can't control how others view your name choices. There will always be some, even on these boards, who will disagree with anything you choose. That's always going to happen. You just have to please yourself and give your dd a name that (you hope) she can be happy with throughout her life. My bet is on Margot.
