Thoughts?

well as teases go it is not terrible!
Really lovely name IMO

Ok, maybe fairly uncommon in my part of EnglandGrin.

I grew up in Wales though in the 70's and 80's. It wasn't really heard in our school. Maybe it's more recently used?

Love it. The Manon I know is really lovely and sweet too, which helps. We are in neither Wales nor France and no one seems to have trouble with it.

I have a friend called Manon. She's from Wales but now lives in England. It's a beautiful name, fairly uncommon and she's never ever had anyone say anything negative about it.

Don't get the 'tease' thing either.

Sunny Man on - as in "there's a man on you..."

I don't like it. Sorry. I've never heard of it before and it doesn't conjure up any kind of image or picture.

Loads of Manons here in Wales. Lovely name.

SunnyBaudelaire · 19/01/2015 16:55

well that is strange as it is a name from the Yookay. what 'teasing potential'?

Solasum · 19/01/2015 16:53

Not great for UK based baby to my ear. Great teasing potential for a teen? And I would have assumed it was a male name

Love it. My niece's name.

It's pretty and quite popular in France - there are several at DD's school.

SunnyBaudelaire · 19/01/2015 16:49

it is lovely and I wish I had called my dd this. Really pretty. That might have something to do with the movie 'Manon des Sources' ofc but I also live in Wales where it is used.
