More interesting than Margaret, and the "leet" is more attractive than "ret" on a girl. I don't really get the "glittery/sparkly" vibe. It simply feels like a spring day to me - fresh, green with yellow sunshine. Perhaps then it's more shiny to me than sparkly, lol, but in a more nature-y way than a jewel way.
From your combos I like:
Maraglit Cecilia
Margalit Cecily
Margalit Eudora
Margalit Eugenie
Margalit Frances
Margalit Iris
Margalit Joanna
Maraglit Simona
Maraglit Sophronia
Margalit Susanna
I think the name lends itself well to having a 's' or soft 'c' middle name. I would avoid doubling up on the hard 'g' sound (e.g. Margalit Agatha is awkward and unattractive to me).

I like it...you're right, it's got a glittery sound. I wouldn't use it myself but it's pretty and much nicer than Margaret

I know that is is a Hebrew name, but most people will assume you just made it up. I also dislike the -lit part. I'm just thinking of smoking when I hear it and I don't even smoke. My guess is that it is pronounced more like leet in Hebrew but most people will just see the English word lit. I don't think it's glittery, it makes me think of grey and dark green colors, it's very earthy and it also makes me think of smoke. I wouldn't use it.
Aurelia, Emmeline, Rebecca, Philippa, Matilda (I like this spelling) and Sophronia are nice but Margalit Sophronia is a bit much. I think it goes well with Emmeline.

It's not ugly, but it's very unusual and unfamiliar. This in itself isn't a problem necessarily, but the fact that its sound is so close to Margaret makes it sound like a weird mispronunciation of Margaret, like a little kid or somebody with a foreign accent.
But it is more interesting that Margaret, that's for sure.

It's actually very different in pronunciation -- Margaret is pronounced "MAR-grit," whereas Margalit is pronounce "mar-ga-LEET."

There's another problem. Very few people with no experience in Hebrew language/names are going to think it's pronounced leet; I sure didn't, even though I knew the name was Hebrew.

I named the daughter-heroine of one of my weird stories this name. It's so pretty and special, yet serious and reserved. Wonderful to see it get some serious attention here.
Hard to pair, in its uniqueness. I feel it needs something rather short, and nothing too ordinary. I'm drawn to Margalit Viola and Margalit Zelda of these listed. Margalit Zenaïde, maybe, without the extra A? Maybe Margalit Celia. Or Margalit Xenia.
-edit to add: First of all I think Margalit Xenia is the real winner of my contributions. And I wanted to add, how well the impression I get of the name suits its meaning, "Pearl," which I only remembered upon looking it up (I suppose it's related to Margaret, yeah?). The toughness coupled with the special shine you refer to.
For those missing out on the shine - it's the "lit" part! There's something so pretty about it being pronounced "leet" with so few letters. It so well matches the reserve of the rest of the name.

I'm sorry but I think it's horrible. It's harsh and cold. There is nothing attractive about the way it sounds. To me it's not glittery at all, it's more like a wet, grey stone.
From your list of combos I like Margalit Iris and Margalit Sylvia. Both have a pleasant flow.

Hi Wordsmith!!!
Why are you so poetic ? Lol
I had to search the most of your words! XD
To coruscate? It is the first time I hear it! Wonderful meaning! But..what is the meaning difference with 'to shine' or 'to glittet' ? The Italian dictionaries say the se thing for all three. Just curious.
Bye the way
I don't see that glittery that you said.
I dislike the 'Marga' beginning.
Then Margalit is too similar to the name Magalì which I find so pretty.
Finally I think that Pnina is far better than Margalit (same origin and meaning).
Byeeeeeee
