Monica

[DaisyDream44]

What do you think of Monica for a girl? I really like how it sounds, but the meanings are leader, advisor, alone, lonely :( And I have no idea how you would shorten the name. Mon? Nica?
Any thoughts?

Mons, Monnie other option diminutives.

Monica is lovely.

Why on earth does Monica need a shortening?!? It's nice as it is. It's easy to say!

I know 2 Monicas and 1 Monika and none shorten their names.

I like it.

We have a monnie

Monica seems like quite a harsh, stern name to me. But that might be because the only Monica that I know is a bit scary and I associate the name with her.

It’s not a name that needs shortening imo.

Monica is beautiful! Monnie isn't imo.

Monnie sounds like money

I always think of Harmonica. Not that that's a bad thing. Might get kids saying stuff like whoremonica or something like that.

'whoremonica '? Christ, that's a stretch.

I know an adult Monica, she is Mon. Love it!

Bing!

I like Monica.

I love it, unusual but not weird. I know one in her 30s and a toddler. The one in her 30s gets "mon" or "Moni".id like to be called Monica why did my sister get the better name

i Like Monica

Don't like it. Only makes me think of 1) Lewinski, and 2) Geller.

It's harsh and outdated.

'whoremonica '? Christ, that's a stretch

Yes, it quite possibly involves a bit of stretching

There's already a band called Whoremonica.

Jokes about it too:

Bill Clinton gave up playing the saxaphone and instead took up the whoremonica since it is a much more orally engaging instrument

Just giving OP other things to think about. I don't dislike the name per se.

It’s better than Monican’t.

I love Monica. It's a beautiful name in my opinion. I also love it because of my cousin, Monica. She is beautiful, intelligent and caring. That's makes me love the name more.

I like it! Won’t be many babies around named that right now I wouldn’t think.

How about Monana? It's Dutch. Pennsylvania Dutch.

So many nice comments! Thanks you guys so much! I think she'll be named Monica, and even if I don't really like the shortened form 'Mon' I still think the name itself is beautiful. And yes, it doesn't have to be shortened at all

Monana's a lovely name, but I like the "nica" part of Monica too much right now
