I've tried to like this spelling of the name (because I like the sound - both hip and classy), due to the fact that I have a negative association with the spelling Margot.

---

But... I'm sorry. I can't. Even if Margaux is a real town in France, and it's the spelling Margaux Hemingway used, as a name it looks like it's trying way too hard to be "cool." Margot is infinitely better, even with the silent T. (I think Margo is boring.) Margot makes a fantastic first or middle name.

I like it. It's handsome and literary.

I actually like it, though I like the history of Margot. I think Margaux would be better received, visually, and pronunciation would be equally difficult. If you worry about that, go for Margo...though its not my favorite spelling.

---

I would go with:

---

Ophelia Margaux
Margaux Edith
Amelie Margaux
Isadora Margaux
Margaux Jamesina
Philippa Margaux
Margaux Leonora
Margaux Primrose
Margaux Rosamund
Tamsin Margaux
Vienna Margaux
Zelda Margaux

Not too sure what I think of this, prefer Margaret but I guess Margaux is okay. Not a fant of how it looks.

---

I'd pair it with:
Margaux Rose
Margaux Matilda
Margaux Annaleise

I prefer Margot

I like the sound of this name but I think the spelling Margaux is ugly and complicated. I prefer Margot.

---

Octavia Margot
Margot Louise

I wouldn't touch it with a fallen date palm. So pretentious, it can't be anything other than funny.

---

Margot, however:

---

Margot Suzanne
Margot Bryony
Margot Geraldine
Margot Christabel

I love this name, although I'd pick Margot over Margaux. Margaux is very elegant by somehow Margot is more visually appealing to me.

---

Margaux Elise
Margaux Sylvie
Margaux Florence
Margaux Clementine
Margaux Eve
Margaux Tora
Margaux Penelope
Margaux Lily
Margaux Olympia
Margaux Juliet
Margaux Wren
Margaux Tatiana
Margaux Harriet
Margaux Frieda
Margaux Vivienne
Margaux Gwen
Margaux Emilie
Margaux Clarissa
Margaux Trixie
Margaux Winter
Margaux Pearl
Margaux Sophie

It's not really my style but I've seen worse. It has a vintage feel and sounds hipster to me.

---

Margaux Amberly
Margaux Amelia
Margaux Anne
Margaux Irene
Margaux Nicole
Margaux Olivia
Margaux Robin

I usually don't like different spellings of original names, but I like Margaux, the spelling puts a fresh twist on Margot.

---

Margaux Amelia
Margaux Amethyst
Margaux Appoline
Margaux Briony
Margaux Cecily
Margaux Edith
Margaux Hanora
Margaux Lennox
Margaux Philippa
Margaux Piper
Margaux Quinn
Margaux Rain
Margaux Selene
Margaux Talitha
Margaux Xene

The spelling looks weird and wrong. I like Margot and Margo.

---

Margaux Christine
Margaux Adelaide
Margaux Simone
Margaux Natalie
Margaux Edith
Margaux Josephine
Margaux Georgiana
Margaux Delphine
Margaux Cecilia
Margaux Felicity
Margaux Helena
Margaux Penelope

I'm absolutely loving Margaux right now. And this is my favorite spelling as a first, as Margot reminds me of maggots, and Margo looks somewhat incomplete imo. Anyway, Margaux feels really cool, stylish, and fashionable in a vintage way. It makes me think of 50s/60s film stars, 50s dresses, quite retro. As for middles, (my combo's Margaux Sylvia Wren) I'd suggest:

---

Margaux Evelyn
Margaux Beatrix (though with the double X ending, this is the one case where I think one of the other spellings might be better)
Margaux Belle
Margaux Fae/Faye
Margaux Daisy
Margaux Eleanor
Margaux Audrey
Margaux Imogen
Margaux Georgie

I like it! Prefer Margot though!

Margaux Pearl
Margaux Sapphire
Margaux May
Margaux Amber
Margaux Antonia
Margaux Harley
Margaux Ursa
Margaux Rae
Margaux Kendra
Margaux Giovanna
