margeaux.

i don't like this because at first glance i think it looks like maggot lol

I'm a HUGE believer that if you spell something, the spelling is how people are going to pronounce it.

I'd be INCLINED to spell it Margo, but then everyone that knows it should be Margot are going to comment on that, too.

SO: Do I want my kid to be called Mar-got for the rest of her life, or do I want her to hear "Oh, you meant without the t?" forever?

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

margeaux

[arbus.livejournal.com]

is this legit? or do you mean margaux?

[arbus.livejournal.com]

do you mean margaux? i have never seen the spelling you are referring to.

[gipro2003.livejournal.com]

If I had to use it, I would use the Margaux spelling.

[ohhvelocitygirl.livejournal.com]

nope.

Margaret
Margo/eaux/aux/ot is a nickname.

[arbus.livejournal.com]

margaret is not an option. and margo/t/aux has been a stand alone name for centuries.

[a-tergo-lupi.livejournal.com]

You asked what I would do. I think they're nicknames. I would use Margaret.

[lustdumpster.livejournal.com]

i've never seen margaux, but there was a girl in my school a long time ago named margeaux.

[amyames.livejournal.com]

Margo.

[kilobites.livejournal.com]

Margo or Margot. I know that Margot may get mispronounced, but I do slightly prefer the spelling.

[joereaves.livejournal.com]

I prefer it as a nickname but I'd spell it Margot as I've only ever seen that as the correct (anglicised) spelling (obviously there are francophone spellings as shown in earlier comments but I'm not French and I don't live in a French speaking country so I wouldn't, personally, use them.

Margo just looks like a typo or someone who didn't know how it was spelt and had only heard it to me. Not that I'd ever seen it before this post at all.

Margot. And love it. Just went over this with a friend =]

[skudge.livejournal.com]

I personally prefer Margot, but whenever I've met people named Margot in real life everyone pronounced their name wrong, so Margo may be better.

LOL!

I've never seen the spelling YOU'RE referring to. I have however, known four Margo's, two of whom spelled it Margeaux

[becomingun.livejournal.com]

I've known four in my time, Two Margeauxs, and one each of Margo and Margot. I like it with the T :)

Margaux > Margot > Margo. Margeaux seems like it has too many letters, to me.
Book I recently snagged from the library: "Margaux with an X," lol. ^^
