Margot Anais "Meg"?
Thoughts on this combo, and on the names in their own right? What kind of image, if any, do they evoke?Thanks!

Margot is okay, but i get an old, stuffy image from it. Meg does combat this slightly I guessAnais is pretty, especially in the MN spot

Margot Anais sounds sophisticated, while Meg is very down-to-earth. I think it balances out nicely.I love Margot, especially when spelled Margo. Anais is pretty as well, but I imagine that it would be mispronounced on a frequent basis. As a middle name, that's less of an issue, though.

Margot is great, and doesn't deserve to be tainted with Meg.

I've never been a big fan of Margot. Meg is the only nickname for Margaret that I like, so if I wanted a Meg, I'd rather it be a nickname for Margaret than Margot. But I don't even like Margaret enough to do that. I like Meg much more than Margaret, but I can't see using a name I don't really like just to get to the nickname.

I think it's a sophisticated combo, if somewhat chilly. I love both Margo(t) and Meg. While I don't love Anais, I think it works well as a middle name. Meg is one of my favorite Margaret nicknames, but I don't love it as a nickname for Margot, perhaps because Margot doesn't share the "eh" sound found in Meg and at the end of Margaret, or perhaps because I prefer Margot nicknameless. That said, Margot nn Meg works well enough, and I think friendly, approachable Meg adds a lot of warmth to the combo.

Why would you want to ruin Margot with Meg?

Margot Anais is cool, literally. It's a cold combo. I quite like it. Meg on the otherhand is cosy and warm, so it makes for an interesting contrast.The only thing is, I don't really buy Meg as a nn for Margot. Maggie comes at a stretch for me. My mother is Margot, and no one ever calls her anything but Margot. *shrug*
