[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would vote Margo or Margot.  [/quote]

Our kids middle name is Margot- apparently that is hrs for some people to pronounce so I might vote Margo. We literally had someone in the hospital say "mar-got". So you kid may deal with that![/quote]

Since both Margo and Margot are equally legit alternative spellings, I would go with the spelling that minimizes the chance for mispronunciation and confusion.  My name is an alternate spelling of a common name, by one extra letter, and man do people botch it.  Not annoying, but I wish I just had the standard spelling.

Regarding Margaux, this is the history from nameberry.com: "This spelling was popularized by supermodel, actress, and tragic Hemingway granddaughter Margaux, whose name spelling came courtesy of a bottle of French wine. (The original spelling of her name was Margot; she changed it when she heard her parents were drinking a bottle of Chateau Margaux the night she was conceived.)"  I wouldn't choose the spelling that a flaky, drug addicted supermodel made up for herself based on the wine her parents were drinking when she was conceived.  Blech.
