What do you think? I really like it but would she be teased at school for being a moaner?

I like it

squoosh · 30/07/2013 11:03

She will definitely be called Moaning Mona or Moaner at some stage.

IAteTheCake · 30/07/2013 16:13

i have come across one Mona pronounced Mo-na rather than Moana...she constantly had to correct people...that personally put me off the name....sorry op...

buttercrumble · 30/07/2013 16:19

No sorry seems quite a dowdy name

IDismyname · 30/07/2013 16:21

Don't make her second name Lisa whatever you do!!

wigglesrock · 30/07/2013 19:08

It's a bit of a granny name where I am and not in a nice way.

Yes, I would say moaner but be used - kids also like to rhyme, so at a push Loner Moana etc.

What about Mara?

Fraxinus · 30/07/2013 19:10

Love it

phantomhairpuller · 30/07/2013 19:12

My cousins nickname is mona. Because he moans a lot.

QueLinda · 30/07/2013 19:18

I think it's too much like 'moaner'. Ramona is very nice though.

MrsMongoose · 30/07/2013 19:19

Do kids still watch Mona the Vampire. It had a great theme tune. I imagine it would sound great sung in the playground.

MoreThanWords · 30/07/2013 19:19

How about Moya?

MargeSimpsonzz · 30/07/2013 19:28

Big Ed loves Mona

I prefer Moya as well. Or even Ramona. Mona is a bit dowdy.

TallulahBetty · 30/07/2013 19:51

Don't like Mona.

LOVE Ramona.

Fraxinus · 30/07/2013 20:13

Oh yes, ramona is a lovely name too.

Rhubarbgarden · 30/07/2013 20:18

I knew one who got lots of smutty comments about moaning.

starfishmummy · 30/07/2013 20:26

The only person I have ever known called Mona, started to use her middle name as soon as she could.....

Panzee · 30/07/2013 20:28

My grandmother's name. Nice Manx name. :)

ShadeofViolet · 30/07/2013 20:31

I like it.

JamieandtheMagicTorch · 30/07/2013 21:35

Moany

Canidae · 30/07/2013 21:38

Heeeeeey Mona. Oooooo Mona! (Sorry)

I love Ramona.

PrincessKitKat · 30/07/2013 21:39

Reminds me of that terrible Craig McLachlan (aka Henry from neighbours) song.

But very unique!

luckyclucky · 30/07/2013 21:43

Sadly I'd put another vote in the 'No' camp because it makes me think Moaner- sorry!

Ramona I like though

mathanxiety · 30/07/2013 23:32

Makes me think of 'The Joyce Counthry Ceili Band'

'There's a princess on the floor all night,
She can fairly throw them shapes alright'

sleepingbeautiful · 31/07/2013 04:39

Dislike: moaner, whining jokes, smutty jokes, awful renditions of Henry from Neighbours terrible song etc

Maura
Moira
Mara
Mena
Mila

Lona

Onyabike · 31/07/2013 07:01

Yes, I think she may be teased at school. How about Roma?
