What do you think of Monica for a girl? I really like how it sounds, but the meanings are leader, advisor, alone, lonely :( And I have no idea how you would shorten the name. Mon? Nica?
Any thoughts? Grin

I know an adult Monica, she is Mon. Love it!

'whoremonica '? Christ, that's a stretch.

I always think of Harmonica. Not that that's a bad thing. Might get kids saying stuff like whoremonica or something like that.

Monnie sounds like money

Monica is beautiful! Monnie isn't imo.

Monica seems like quite a harsh, stern name to me. But that might be because the only Monica that I know is a bit scary and I associate the name with her.

It’s not a name that needs shortening imo.

We have a monnie

I like it.

I know 2 Monicas and 1 Monika and none shorten their names.

Another2day · 01/11/2018 14:08

Monica is lovely.

Why on earth does Monica need a shortening?!? It's nice as it is. It's easy to say!
