After Anouk... Manon? Is it a nice name?

Really don't like it. Sounds like saying Man On which is a bit grim

I know 2 Manon's, they are both men and Indian, dont like it at all for a girl sorry.

Love it.

Always makes me think of the film Manon des Sources. I’d never have thought of using it, but it’s lovely.

Makes me think about the rapey tragic ballet.

Sorry I think it’s awful. It just doesn’t sound like a name- particularly for a girl.

Manon.
I really don't like it.

FenellaMaxwell · 21/07/2019 08:51

I love it.

Lovely!

It’s the god/devil whatever that they chant to in The Craft so anyone who was a gothy teenager in the nineties will think of that when they hear it.

Plus it doesn’t really have a nice sound. Man on. Sounds like a football term.

A lovely name. Very pretty. I know two Manon's, both in their 20's.

Lovely. Cool and elegant.
