HelpRe: Margaret/Marguerite
in reply to a message by Genevieve
1. They're fine as sister names.
2. If I were you, and my husband was really set about the name Marguerite and not just idly considering it, I'd ask my sister how she felt about it. If she thought it was fine then I'd do it. Especially considering, not only is it your daughter's grandmother's actual name, but they'd be called so differently (... plus the fact that your sister used a name that was your forever favorite, in the first place. She kinda forfeited all "dibs" by doing that IMO).
If you are really unenthused about the matching, and your husband isn't going to be crestfallen ... then IIWY I would name the first daughter Genevieve Marguerite. I think the cousins would enjoy having names that matched without really matching. It'd be neat. And you never know if you'll have two daughters or not. So I'd dump all the big honoring on the first one.
