Help[Opinions] Re: Marguerite, nickname Margot (but she's not French)
in reply to a message by erb816
It doesn't even work in francophone places anymore.
Margot may come from Marguerite, but is an independent name now and used as such. To me it feels like naming her Mary and using Molly as a nickname. Unnecessary and confusing, even though it does have a history.
Why not just use Margot? It works. My favorite spelling is Margaux.
