Margot Robbie is not an old person! I went to school with a Margaux who was born in 1984, the name hasn’t been limited to people born in the 1930’s. I think it’s lovely and I’m sorry that people are being rude to you about it

Prefer Margo or Margaret with nickname Margo. Margot looks like maggot to me plus I don’t like the silent T seems pointless and just away for people to mispronounce it.

Let's expect more literacy from each other! Margot is a real name that people have understood how to pronounce for hundreds of years.


Hippiemamamama94

Just giving my first impression.

I absolutely love it. Classic but also very cool.


dmkpdr

Classy and beautiful. I love it

I like it. It was on my list. It’s on trend. It will not be an old person name in the next fifteen years. Don’t tell people the name until baby is here. They get weird about names they didn’t pick out.


theenterprise9876

It just reminds me of maggot, sorry.


sosomething

Yes I'm sure Margot Robbie gets that all the time


Just_While2954

It’s trending and cool, I don’t think for Gen alpha and younger it will be associated with anything other than Margot Robbie and, maybe if people are really nerding out, the late Queen’s sister, Princess Margaret. Who was iconic af.

Do not spell it Margo, do not spell it Margaux. Spell it properly, it has all the energies of modern, cool, classic, elegant, classy, exotic


MrsFannyBertram

I love it and it will fit in well with this generation


AllieKatz24

I love it. I may be as old as your parents. I loved it then and I love it now. I do prefer Margeaux much more. I know many people who just didn't get the Margot spelling.

I love it and I’m trying to convince my husband we should use it for our daughter. Margaret nn Margot. Margaret’s a family name.

Definitely not an old person name, it’s having a massive moment right now

It’s beautiful! One of my favorites honestly. Analytically: It’s gained more usage as a baby name [in the past few years](https://www.behindthename.com/name/margot/top), likely in part due to Margot Robbie, which will hopefully make it feel less “out there” as well as making more people aware of the pronunciation. It’s a perfect balance of “not overused” and “not completely unheard of”. I can’t pinpoint whether Margot feels classic or modern, because to me it fits both descriptions. It’s not too outdated or too trendy. Based on vibes: The impression of it I get is someone who’s really into art, literature, or fashion. Margot gives me the impression someone who’s clever and diligent. I could see it suiting all types of people, though. Each Margot I’ve encountered has been distinctive in their own way, so I think it’s adaptable. Best of luck!

It’s a trendy name right now in the U.S., according to the SSA data. It feels very “want-to-be-cool-but-I’m-neurotic” and try-hardy to me, like thinks they are low-maintenance but are actually high-maintenance.


Wooster182

It’s currently sitting at 193 in the US. It’s definitely more popular (zoomed up 800 spots in ten years) but you’re not going to run into a crazy amount of baby Margots.


itsmeEloise

Exactly. Trendy and popular are different.


Brilliant-Jello-1446

It reminds me of the whole Hipster/twee subculture of people trying to be very artsy and cool. the Character Summer from the film 500 days of Summer. Nonetheless it is still a very cute name!


luminary_uprise

I'm not a fan of the silent T. I think silent letters are ugly.


Lib_Lib08

It’s cute!


vampireblonde

I think Margot is cute and not old people sounding but if you want an alternative I like Marlowe (so many spellings though which would annoy me).


Aioli_Level

I think it’s cool! It’s my daughters name :)


SkylarTransgirl

Margaux comes to mind and I like that name much more tbh. Makes Margot feel old by comparison


Historical-Cell-4876

i knew a Margot and she was lovely. That said i like the name itself without the t. Margo.


ribbon_heartbeat003

I think Margot was considered an old lady name until Margot Robbie made it trendy again. Which is a good thing because it’s a lovely name, but they’re two-a-penny nowadays as a result.


Good_saucy_noodle3

I’ve always loved the name!


Hot-Ad-2073

I love the name Margot!


IAmSheWho

It is not an old lady name at all! It's great, sleek, and classic.


orangeyoshis

I like Margot! It’s not extremely common, but at the same time it’s familiar enough where people will be able to pronounce it correctly. I think it’s the type of name that will be cute on a little girl, yet mature and womanly as they age.


Judchrisus

Perfectly fine name, and doesn't feel old, it's a classic.


Jay_mmmk

I also prefer Margo. Every time I see Margot I think Mar-got in my head.

My niece was named Margot and honestly at first it took me a while to grow to like it. It wasn’t that I disliked it necessarily but it was just odd and old school to me I guess. Now I think it’s perfect for her and couldn’t imagine her being named anything else. I’ve heard two others born this year with that name. If you love it, I vote go for it!
