I love Moe for a girls name but would prefer a longer version too.
I know 'Ramona' is one option...can anyone else make any other suggestions?

Ammo or Amonia

Mona, quite popular in North Wales (Anglesey - Wikipedia)

WellWellSaidTheRockingChair · 12/11/2023 23:57

Maureen

Another idea:

Mimosa

kitsuneghost · 12/11/2023 19:21

Maureen
Morag

The only Mo I have heard of is short for Maureen. Or I went to college with a young lad called Mo and it was short for Mohammed.

It depends if you'd ideally like name to be given the same nickname by other people? E.g. Imogen would become Immy, Molly would be Mol, Monica would be Mon etc.

The only names I could think of would be Moana, Morgan or Maureen

Method of Entry

Ellmau · 12/11/2023 13:44

I would assume Maureen but that is very dated.

Mona would work.

FourteenTog · 12/11/2023 13:36

Mozenge is also good.
Wilhelmoeina deserves more love.

moe is Dutch for tired. Go with mo instead

IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads · 12/11/2023 07:03

Given the initials "MO"?

Sandysandwich · 12/11/2023 05:00

Ive only seen Mo for women and Moe for men, like Jo and Joe

FixItUpChappie · 12/11/2023 04:49

Simone?

Minglemangle007 · 12/11/2023 02:08

Fourth child?

Plenty of things weren't originally used as a name, my grown up niece is called Mocuisle, my Irish speaking, retired teacher Granda (90) agreed it is indeed a term of endearment "my darling".
So it IS used as a name (legal, yes, on birth certificate!) so... Really, yeah though 😁

It's a pity Granda didn't advise on the correct spelling 😉
You're missing a séimhiú there.

Moustache and barman is what I associate it with

Same. Its not good. Sounds like Moan.
Suppose you could have Simone.

flexigirl · 11/11/2023 14:41

Molly . Or just call her moe. My kids have really unusual names and even though they are 18 and 20 I still have people comment on their names which is nice . I love moe on its own

Quite a few Welsh spellings of Morgan .

There's only one way to spell Morgan.

Whattheflipflap · 11/11/2023 13:12
