Margot, for sure, though my true favorite spelling is Margo. I love it. For a long while, it was my top name, and I still think it's beautiful. It's one of those names that seems to have it all: femininity, strength, intelligence, and beauty. As a bonus, it's familiar, but at the same time very uncommon. It's a winner. (I think Margo just ended up back on my own list!)

Regarding Margaux...well, I have strong, negative feelings about Margaux, so be warned. *deep breath*

Margaux drains Margot of every ounce of class. It takes an intelligent, elegant name and downgrades it to the same level as other alcohol names like Brandy and Chardonnay or place names like Brittany and Siena. It's nails on a chalkboard to me, thoroughly déclassé, just a cheap knock-off of the original, and I'm always surprised that it gets the support it does here at BtN.
