Re: Margot?
in reply to a message by Kit
Margot is one of my favorite names. While I have a somewhat unpleasant past association with the name (and with this spelling), it hasn't dissuaded me entirely from using Margot. Even though it began life as a nickname for Marguerite (which I do also like) I think it sounds both elegant and professional.
I also like it approximately a zillion times more than Margaret, which has always seemed cold and "gritty" (literally) to me. I also dislike Maggie, and the "ag" sound in general (no Agatha or Agnes for me either). So... I guess you can say my favorite diminutive of Margaret is Margot? Though Meg isn't too bad (but then I'd go for Megara before Margaret or even Meghan).
