One of my top picks if I ever have a daughter! My only hold back is that I can’t imagine it on anyone other than a blonde or (especially cute) a redhead, but maybe that’s just me? (And I love that it’s a Lucy Maud Montgomery name ((Magic for Marigold))!)

I like the pronunciation but besides that it looks kinda ugly.

I think that "Marigold" would be truly lovely for a little girl. Personally I don't like using nicknames, so "Marigold" would be it! Finding a middle name for it though would be rather difficult, I think.

This name is lovely, and rolls off the tongue nicely.

I love this name. It's a real name, not made up trash like most names these days. It has a whimsical, yet aristocratic feel. It has positive connotations (sun, flowers, bright). It's at the top of my baby name list. I love that there are many nickname options for the child to choose to go by. It's uncommon but not in a horrible way.

Adorable, but I wouldn't use it on my child.

I like Marigold! It’s very unique, and I suppose you have a choice of pronunciations? Idk, but yes, I think Marigold isn’t a bad name— it’s pretty cool!

Marigold is a lovely and rare flower name. Mari would be a nice nickname, but I'm not a fan of Goldie as one.

Quite weird and ugly.
Imagine if someone was called gold in the future, “Marry Gold.”.

Used to be my grandmother's favorite flower, but it's a crappy name. Please, do your child a favor and don't name her (or him if you're like that...) Marigold. Almost as dumb as Goldilocks or Goldie. No offense to anyone named Marigold, if you really like that name, go for it. I just don't like it.

Marigold makes me think of a stuck-up, rude mean girl. It is sappy and annoying to me. Nice sound, it just doesn't give a nice impression.

Seriously considering Marigold, but I have issues with pronunciation. I am worried Europeans will constantly stumble on the "-gold" part.
Whoever said many people are hard of hearing - often jumbling the name "Marigold" with the name "Miracle" - also has a point.
"Margalit" seems easier for everyone to pronounce, and it's also so cute, but I'm missing the sunshiney, goldie meaning plus all the sweetness of the fragrance of the flower? Marigold seems just as playful as Margalit, maybe a drop richer. Or is it? I really can't choose between the two now.

I adore the name Marigold, it has timeless charm and fits a girl of any age. I associate it with aristocratic girls in English novels, and shimmering sunlight catching on water. It's unusual, but not outlandish, making it a good choice in all English-speaking countries.

Oh, what a beautiful name this is! My best friend is called Marigold, but I call her 'Mari' for short. Yes, Mari with an 'i'. I think it's a nice, classy name and the rarest of names as well ^w^

The name Marigold leaves a good impression on me because of this book I read when I was seven. It was called 'Marigold in Godmother's House' it was the most sweetest book I have ever read!

"Marigold" is derived from "Mary's Gold", and the plant is associated with the Virgin Mary in Christian stories. Perhaps that is why the symbolic meaning of the Marigold flower is "pain and grief" - alluding to the pain and grief of the Virgin Mary? That's my hypothesis. I can't think of any other reason for such a happy-looking flower to have such a dreadful meaning.
I like this name, and I think Goldie would be a cool nickname. Or Margo, or Maggie, or any nickname for Mary, like Molly, May, Marion, etc.

Winston Churchill had a daughter named Marigold who died very young (1918-1921). His youngest child, another girl, was named Mary, which I find a bit strange.
