[Opinions] Re: Marguerite, nickname Margot (but she's not French)
Well, it worked in the early 20th century in the UK, because the two most famous British Margots of that era, Margot Asquith (1864-1945) and the ballerina Margot Fonteyn (1919-1991) were both born as Margaret.

Er ... that would be 1991! Fonteyn's given names were Margaret Evelyn, which seem more like 1930s names than 19teens.
