'Moe' could be short for what? (Girl)

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?

I'd assume Maureen (at a push Maura) as it's been the trad nn for that for simply ages.

(Marlow is usually a boys name, taken from surname of author)

I know a Martha, a Maia & a Morag who are all called Mo

I think the universe has dictated you go with Marlow!

Mona. Morwenna, Imogen, Morvern.

Monica Joan - Mo
Minnie - Minnie Mo sounds cute as a nick name.

Knew a girl who went by Moe, short for Mariannne which I think is a very pretty name.

Bobtheamazinggingerdog · 11/11/2023 06:44

Moe with an e looks masculine and makes me think of Moe the bartender. Mo would be for a girl.

Dolphinnoises · 11/11/2023 06:42

I know a Marlow (without an e) aged 11. Go with the sign! I also think Imogen would be a good choice but as you haven’t picked up on the suggestion maybe it’s not for you

What about Marlowe?

How's this for funny...after you posted I thought hmmm that's familiar and I went out to our barn and sure enough there's an old sign in there saying Marlow

Some goodies in here!

Maureen makes me go awwww as it's the name of a very dear elderly neighbour of mine. So that gets a tick for sentimental reasons.

Morgan I also like as it's a family name.

Moana is a contender.

Marlowe...I like!

I'm a fan of unusual names, particularly gender neutral ones (already have 2 daughters with gender neutral names)

Moesha is the only one that comes to mind in addition to PP. I'm sure you'll get five pages of Maureen incoming.

My friend Monique goes by Mo.

cornbeefpancakes · 11/11/2023 03:03

Mo is short for Maureen. Moe is short for Maurice.

caringcarer · 11/11/2023 02:57

I know a woman called Mo and her name is Mourine.

Junebughustle · 11/11/2023 02:46

I know an Imogen who goes by Mo

Morgana? As in Morgana Robinson (winner of Taskmaster series 12)
