Another Crazy Idea?

I have no idea what I'm having, and am becoming increasing crazy in ideas for names!
What do you think of Mo/ Moe?

Suitable for a boy or girl? What could it be NN for?

Our surname is a Mac one, and I quite like the two ' M's.

Thoughts?

I know a very cute baby girl called Mo. I think it's short for Monica.

Mohammed

Marjorie, Mallory, Maureen, Mavourneen (I did NOT make that up), Marcie, Maura, Molly (which is nn for Mary, of course).

I know two Moe's, they only ever get called Moe, and use Moe for work and Facebook. They are both Mohammed.

Mo is short for Mohammed, I can't imagine how it could be a shortened girl's name.

Oh, I was thinking of Mo Mowlam, who was a lady, obviously. Smile

I will wiki her and see if I can find out if she had another name.

Thanks.

Oh of course, the great Mo Mowlam how could I forget Blush

Was Mo Mowlan not Maureen?

AhsokaTano · 12/04/2012 18:29

Mowlam rather!

AWomanCalledHorse · 12/04/2012 18:31

I know a Morwenna known as a Mo.

There was Little Mo on Eastenders too - she was a female.

I had an uncle Mo, he was a Maurice.

I know a little Meadow shortened to Mo. She is a real little character and her name is perfect for her.

woopsidaisy · 12/04/2012 18:35

Oh, OK. So it is a definite possibility then!
Thanks!

Ooo, Meadow is a great name!

blackteaplease · 12/04/2012 20:22

I know a Morag shortened to Mo

Ohmydarlin · 12/04/2012 21:57

I've heard of Imogen being shortened to Mo.

deste · 12/04/2012 22:06

Mhorag is often shortened to Mo.

Janoschi · 12/04/2012 22:40

Moira
Maura
Mona / Ramona

I think Mo Mowlam was Maureen, which is what I always assume is the full version of Mo unless told otherwise!

winkle2 · 13/04/2012 21:13

Mo is short for Maureen

tummytickler · 13/04/2012 23:00

Love Mo short for Morag.
For a boy Mo could be short for Moses?
