HelpRe: Marguerite, nickname Margot (but she's not French)
in reply to a message by erb816
It doesn't even work in francophone places anymore.
Margot may come from Marguerite, but is an independent name now and used as such. To me it feels like naming her Mary and using Molly as a nickname. Unnecessary and confusing, even though it does have a history.
Why not just use Margot? It works. My favorite spelling is Margaux.

I've refrained from specifying in the OP and to other responses, but for some personal reasons Margot as a legal name is unusable for me, even though I enjoy it. (Long story short: somebody I don't get along with.) That's why I was looking for a workaround. :-P
I've tried to get on the Margaux bandwagon, but it just... sorry, it's trying too hard to be cool. Yes, it's a real place, I know, but it's a bit much.
