HelpRe: Margot
in reply to a message by Pickles
I think it's very attractive in sound, much prettier than Margaret. But I don't care much for the looks of it, just one letter off maggot, and the variations don't do it for me either. Margo looks incomplete, and Margaux looks way too fluffy.
I know a couple Margots. One is a bit older than me and was a teacher my own daughter had when she was very little. The other is about sixty and is the physician's assistant at our doctor's office. I like her but she tends to be officious and overstep what I think a PA should do; basically she thinks she's the doctor's mini-me and his gatekeeper. His office manager is that way too and it's annoying. I think he's given his staff a bit too much free rein. Oh well, that's not here or there.
Basically, when it comes to alternatives to Margaret, I like Margot but in practice, I prefer Marguerite or Margarita.
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!
