Thinking about the name
Margot
French origin
“A streamlined French diminutive of Margaret, meaning 'pearl,' Margot emerged as a standalone name in the early 20th century. It carries European sophistication and literary associations, particularly through French literature and the 1960s-70s film world. The name feels chic and intelligent without sacrificing warmth.”
