HelpRe: Marguerite
in reply to a message by Dianatiger
I like Margot the most, runner-up being Margarita because it means "daisy" in my language. Then followed by Marguerite since it has that lovely, familiar quirkiness and finally Margaret which I find it a little dated now; though I like all of them.
Speaking of Marguerite, I wonder why it became popular in the late 1800's in the US - maybe French influence, like Antoinette or Lucille? English usage should be added as well.
English isn't my first language but I know it's pronounced mar-ge-REET in French, might as well be pronounced like that in English.

That English pronunciation is exactly what we use here in South Africa!
