Family thinks our baby’s name is a tragedeigh?

Tragedeigh = a given name that has been deliberately misspelled or completely made up to appear more unique than it actually is.

Family thinks our baby’s name is a tragedeigh?

I’m 13 weeks pregnant. We’ve told everyone and have been sharing the name we selected. Here are a few responses we’ve gotten/heard about:

Husband’s grandma to husband’s mom: “They picked some weird name that starts with an M.”

My grandma: “Well, it’s going to be misspelled and mispronounced often.” Ok, maybe occasionally…

My aunt: “Oh! Wow! How did y’all come up with that name?”

It’s Margot, which is a traditional French name (we are in the US). If it were Margeaux, sure, I could understand. But Margot?! The middle name we’ve picked is also classic and spelled the original way as well (coincidentally another French name).

I totally get why parents-to-be do not share their baby’s names until after they are born. Next time around we will go that route!

Edit: wasn’t expecting this to get so much traction lol.

Thanks to all the people who were kind here. Some people have been not so nice, and frankly, I’m just tired lol. I’m just going to start blocking people, I guess. Life is too short for so much vitriol and I’m not about to get all worked up while pregnant. Thanks especially to the Margot/Margo/Margaux/Margeaux’s out there (and their parents) who shared their experiences with the name. I have loved hearing about each and every one!
