When CJ McCollum said New Orleans would be part of his family for the rest of his life, he meant every word. And when he and his wife, Elise, picked potential names for their first daughter last year, they backed those words up with action. “We went through a bunch of names that we liked, and Margot was a name that we loved,” McCollum told The Athletic. “We had to choose how we would spell it. I figured it would be a perfect opportunity to mark this huge chapter in our life.” Last November, they welcomed Margaux McCollum to the family. CJ knew ending his daughter’s first name with “aux” was a special homage to the people of New Orleans.
