HelpMarguerite
I've been contemplating giving Marguerite a promotion to "backup favorites/ secondary favorites" the last few days and would like to hear cases for or against the idea.
As an American, the most obvious issue is that no one would pronounce it correctly and pretty much guaranteed that everyone would call a person with that name here "Margaret". The second most issue being that if they do say it correctly, it sounds like the alcoholic beverage we have: margarita. But aside from this I find it the most classy and sophisticated of the Margaret variants besides perhaps simply Margot. It also gives me some "girl next door, beautiful but approachable" kind of vibes. WDYT?
Also to the American users specifically, how would you pronounce it? And how would you rank the likelihood of a Marguerite being called Margaret in your region?
Please rate my "Names I would Use" list & "Backup Favorites" list. Feel free to rate some of my other lists too if you have the time.
