Manon for our second daughter?

[CeceSL]

After Anouk... Manon? Is it a nice name?

Rick it is pronounced with no “n” at the end like in English, so it doesn’t sound like “man on” but “man-ow” (maybe? It’s hard to write!)

Thank you Cece

There was a French contestant on Great British Bake Off called Manon.

When we watched it DS told me about the "man on" football term as that's all he could hear every time they said her name, so I also can't think of anything but that now.

Well, can you cope with having it mispronounced without the nasalised ending by virtually everyone except you, OP? Ninon will have exactly the same issue. Both lovely names, but I think it would get on my nerves. And don't even start with Anaïs which, even with the diaresis, will be pronounced 'AnAY' by large numbers of British people, apparently because of an old perfume ad.

LOVE.

Beautiful name. Goes very well with Anouk.

Not just French, it’s also Welsh.

I don’t know anyone who doesn’t know how to pronounce Manon. The demographic here is quite culturally clueless.

@CeceSL I love the name Cleo. So beautiful, I’d have used it myself if it matched our surname.

It's a lovely girls name

I wouldn't use that name in the UK, sorry, there will be so many mispronunciations of the name. I also think of the football connotation.

Esme is lovely. Cleo is nice too.

Manon des sources . Lovely! ❤️

I like Elodie too.

Manon is lovely as is Alba.

Love Alba. What about Noémie? Or Elise

I love Manon, I know two 3-4yr old girls called Manon and they’re both absolutely gorgeous.

I also love Alba

I really like Manon. It’s a lovely French name.

I like Delphine and Nicette

How would Manon be pronounced in English though ? I am French too , and have no idea how would people pronounce the ' on' sound in English.

What about Céleste, that transfers well into English.

It’s pronounced exactly the same in English as it is in French.

Manon is lovely.

Ines is lovely.

Throwing Avery into the mix.

(Not terribly keen on Manon)

It goes beautifully with Anouk.

Haut de gamme. Très chic.

How do you pronounce it in English?

I always thought is would rhyme with Shannon but now I'm not sure.

As I said, the same as in French, ie without the final n.
