Manon - for a little girl?

[sunshinemummy2012]

Thoughts?

*French accent!

My youngest is called Manon - she was born in France and my husband is Welsh. Yes, it is pronounced differently in English and French. We have yet to meet many other British Manon's but there are loads here in France, every school class has at least 2 or 3.

I think it is also getting more popular in Wales, I know a couple of adult Manons but four little ones, only one older than mine, the rest all smaller. But it may also be where we live, as this is a staunchly Welsh-speaking part of Wales.

funny SirVix, right after being on this thread, I heard someone calling that name across the pub.......
We live in a v Welsh area too.

I am in welsh-speaking Wales too and know some adult Manons as well as little ones....in fact my lovely midwife is one

I think it's beautiful and comments like sounds as if you mean 'man on' are just daft, people have pretty a pretty cosmopolitan grasp of names these days in my experience.

I'm sure it's lovely said in the right way or accent but my english ears can't get beyond it being shouted at football matches as in "man on!" When a player is about to tackle from behind.

Wax- that is what dhs cousin shouts whenever we see him......

Sunny and Yongian maybe we are close to each other? I am far West.

I am far west too SirVix, in a town with a lot of books...

Aha [winks] at sirvix and sunny I was in your town on sun and am in fact contemplating a move in that direction in the next 18 mths or so...(must set up my own thread when i can quiz you extensively!!) but we are yn y gogledd
