Margaux?

crystaelizabeth

We just found out that we are expecting #2!!

 DD1 is Noelle Marie (Green) and we are starting to come up with a list for this little one.

 We pretty much agree on boys names, so that isn't an issue- girls names is another story. 

The only option that DH will come up with (was the same with DD1) is Elizabeth. I really don't want to use it as a FN, but would love it as a MN (it is my MN) but he refuses- so we are at a stand-still there.

 Other options:

 Margaux- my mother told me it sounds like an old lady name and I kinda agree. Thoughts? I do love it though.

Liesel- DH was on board (German for Elizabeth) until he decided it was "too German". Both of us are over 75% German... but we'll see. 

Isabel- DH likes it (another form of Elizabeth) but it is too popular for me. 

Caroline- LOVE LOVE LOVE this name. MIL is Carol though, and I DO NOT want this baby named after her. Too close? 

Nora- DH isn't on board

Greta- I love, DH doesn't, and doesn't think it sounds right with our last name. 

Victoria- not sure

Violet- LOVE, but Violet __________ Green is too weird, right? 

 We're looking for any opinions or comments. Please be honest!

Of the names you listed, I think Victoria goes best with your LN.

 As far as Margaux,  even though I know it is pronounced Mar Go, I want to say Mar Gox.

Not a fan of that spelling. Victoria definitely gets my vote!

I like Margaux, it is pretty, feminine, familiar yet uncommon.

I also like Elizabeth and Victoria. 

I think Elizabeth would be a nice MN with either Margaux or Victoria.

As nice as Violet is, I would avoid it if you have a color

I don't get this spelling. Margot, Margeaux, or Margo are preferable.

Margaux - I like it, but I prefer Margo or Margot as the spelling.  Margaux just seems fussy to me.

Liesel - I like it!  

Isabel - boring/popular

Caroline - love, but I wouldn't do it if your MIL is Carol

Nora - probab

LOVE Margaux! It sounds beautiful with Noelle

I actually love Margaux Elizabeth from your list. Have you seen the movie Despicable Me? The three little girls in that movie are Margo, Edith and Agnes. I think those names look so cute on those girls. Maybe "old lady" names are coming back?

I adore the name Margaux with potential nickname Maggie!

I love Margo (a top contender for this baby, with full name Margaret), and I even like Margot. But I just can't support Margaux, even if it is legit. It looks/feels so... fussy? I'm not sure exactly the word I'm looking for, but yeah, me no likey. </

I love both Margaux and Liesel!!  Liesel is a total GP name of mine, but Margaux is just so pretty and underused.  I don't think of it as an old lady name, but that could just be me.

I like Margo more.  I know Margaux is legit but seems pretentious to me.  I like all your other names except Greta- it just doesn't sound pretty to me.

No offense, but Margaux is a horrible way to spell that name and no one will pronounce it right.

Liesel will also get your kid made fun of.

LOVE Margaux!  LOVE.

 I like Victoria, Liesel, Margaux, and Greta.

I think my favorites would be Victoria and Leisel. I like Greta but feel that it is more of a NN.

I think my least favorite is Violet (with LN Green).

How? I'm aware kids will find almost anything i

Of course, I prefer  Margo! 

I do like Leisel & Greta a lot!

Speaking on behalf of all Margauxs with that spelling, Margeaux with an ?e? is ABSOLUTELY wrong wrong wrong. If you speak French, the pronunciation for that would be Mar-zhyoh. That ?e? would make the ?g? soft and the name would sound completely differ

Love it

Margaux is a wonderful name. I know lots of girls my age in their 20s named Margaux. Not old ladyish at all. I also love caroline.
