Margot

1. A female given name from French.
   • 1998 Anne Tyler, A Patchwork Planet, A.A.Knopf Inc., page 3:

     "I like names that end with an a, don't you? Or other vowels? Most often it seems to be an a. But wait: Margo's name ends with an o, for mercy's sake! Barnaby's mother. Or it used to be o. Then she met Barnaby's father and added a t."

     Sophia looked at me. I told her, "Mom thought Margot with a t was higher class."

     "First time I saw it written that way was on the wedding invitations," Gram said. "She brought them home from the printer's and I said, 'Who's this?' She said, 'That's me.' Well, I did try to accommodate. Her dad said it was stuff and nonsense, but I told Jeffrey the next time he came to call, 'Mar-gott will be down in a minute.' He laughed because he thought I was joking but I was serious. I honestly assumed people pronounced the t."

     Zwischendurch, als Wolfgang und Hanno voll und ganz damit beschäftigt waren, ihre Meinungen über die neuesten Aufnahmen von Charlie Mingus auszutauschen, bahnte ich mir den Weg zu Margot hinüber, und wir fanden Zeit, eine Viertelstunde ungestört in dem ganzen Tohuwabohu von Gesprächsfetzen, Hintergrundmusik, Gelächter und Zurufen miteinander zu sprechen.
