Middle names for Margot: Margot Beatrix, Margot Anneliese, Margot Juliet, Margot Delphine, Margot Esme

Margot Sophia sounds nice too!

I love Delphine! H would t even let me finish saying it before he said no. Womp womp.

Rex- I love Margot, Beatrix, and Audrey. I think Audrey sounds best with Lydia.

I liked it too and then I saw American Horror Story 

[isabel]

I really like Maren.

[cashews]

I love Maren. It's unique but beautiful.

[Deleted]

Man I need to have a baby

[NandaB]

I too would not choose an o ending. I feel like of that list Maren, Beatrix and margot are my least favorite. Natalie is my fav, because I have one,

I dont think Sophia is too close to Lydia fwiw

My daughters name is Natalie so I'm partial to that name but I also like Corinne. And I think someone threw in Caroline and I love that name too.

ETA I was just looking up how popular DD's name is at her school of 600+ and there are only three other girls with her name.

Oh, I really like Corinne! I like Cecilia too, but that doesn't follow the rules.

[tootsie]

Juliet is my favorite from your list, I also love Margot, Maren, and Audrey. My DDs are Georgia and Hazel, so of course I'll always push those

This is our girl name and nn pick, which is why I like Margot regardless of the double -o concern.

I really like Margot Celeste.

[lovelyshoes]

Lydia and Marion! I love the way they sound together:). If your h only knew what you're up to:)

[miso]

You're going to be fine.

I have no strong opinion, but none of your names suck.

[smashley]

I just want you to know that for a minute I thought your last name was Louboutino.

[nahoku]

Well, if you love Eloise, then I vote for that

I'm trying to remember some of the names from my girl name list 6 years ago and the only other ones I can strongly remember liking are Evangeline and Malia.

Oh, I also think Annie is an adorable name for a little girl - Annette or Anneliese?

[miso]

No Twilight.

[miso]

I'm aware names have older origins.

But sadly now it's Twilight. Sorry.

[bittybomb]

You have a good list.  My favorites are

Juliet
Celeste
Audrey
Natalie
Scarlet

I'm biased - my daughter's middle name is Scarlet.  What about Veronica or Genevieve?

[sequins]

I like how Lydia Elise lastname and Audrey Margot lastname go together. Sounds like sisters who are not twee.

[sequins]

Your last name has enough syllables in there that the margo in the o doesn't sound like a rhyme with the last name.

[bittybomb]

I also thought of Sydney and Jillian - both names that were on my list.

And I know Veronica ends in an a, but I just love it so so much!

[bittybomb]

Gotcha. Darn!

[sequins]

Is Lydia popular right now? How did you come up with that?

This. I think it flows well and isn't rhymey at all.

(Margot is also our top girl name, so I might be biased.)

[sometimesrunner]

I love Margot, Audrey, and Corinne. What about Sloan?

[Muddled]

Pick Corinne.

[sapphireblue]

With your last name, I think Maren or Scarlet sound the best.

I love both of them. I love most of the names on your list but don't think they flow as well with your last name.

[sapphireblue]

I like sometimesrunner 's suggestion of Sloan. I think maybe one syllable names would work well with your last name.

ETA: what about Elle? Bella (ends in a, I know)? Neve? Rae (I have always loved this for a girl name)?

It's in the mid-80s, I think? So certainly not rare, but not super-popular. 

One of H's brothers has a friend with a daughter named Lydia - she was a baby at our wedding, so I think she's 9 now (!!). H and I heard that and were both like "wow, I love that ..." and it just kinda stuck through the years! 

Right. I did think it sounded like an old timey name. I like going the same route for this baby too. My two cents would be to go for a classic name that's not making the rounds now in the original form or a modified form. Like Audrey or Margot

[sapphireblue]

Skye? Grace?
