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

Ok, maybe fairly uncommon in my part of England.

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.

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.
