What do you think of Monica?

[KTisPG]

I'm expecting DC3 in August. I think I have my boy's name: Matthew James, but what do you think of Monica Rose for a girl?

I like it, its a classic type name. And goes well with the middle name Rose.

And I think 'Friends' is old enough for it not to influence peoples opinion of the name.

I like it :)

Thanks. That's what I was worried about - it is a family name, but obviously there are a whole generation who will only associate it with Friends

There's also the Monica Lewinski association for people of our generation, but I suppose the Lewinski episode won't really be on the radar for our children's generation.

I don't like it, but I associate it with a busybody I know.

Nice underused name. Makes a refreshing change from all the overused 'cutey' type names these days (Lily, Tilly, Milly, Daisy etc). Lovely!

Works well in most languages too!

Not keen. I do think of Friends but also of the word moniker so to me it sounds like you're calling her Name, IYSWIM. Can understand others liking it though.

My problem with it is the word 'moniker' too.

I do still kind of like it though

Nice name. She will likely be the only one in her class as well! :)

Lovely underused name!

moniker

Lovely. Our child-minder was Monika and my son used to called her Moni, which is cute.

Associate it with Friends which isn't a bad thing and a bit with Monica Lewinski which isn't great but future generations won't have this association. I think its a nice name in its own right and is also not that different from Jessica which is a popular name.

I prefer Veronica for some reason.

Monica. Love it.

Love

Thank you everyone
