Maurice

[Deerfield]

Maurice, is it usable? Dated? Middle name potential or no...?

Pronounced Morris or Mo-reece?

My friend has a 2 year old Maurice and I love it! They pronounce it like Morris though and call him Mau for short (only sometimes and they pronounce it like Moe)

I like it pronounced either way. I don't like Morris though to look at.

I knew a Maurice pronounced Morris, if it were me I would just use Morris. Maurice is really old fashioned especially if pronounced mor eece

As in the space cowboy (mo-reeeeese, woop woooooo)?

Please don’t, it’s awful

I like it spelt Maurice but pronounced Morris. I think Mor - Reece is the US pronunciation.

Moe is a cute nickname too.

I love it! Great name

I love it. I know a very cool 25 year old Maurice.

Maurice is usually pronounced Morris, isnt it?

I know a lady called Maureece., pronounced More- eece

I absolutely adore it, always have. I prefer the look of Morris personally. I don't like the American pronunciation and I'd worry you would get that with Maurice.

It's terrible.

Good god it’s awful. Very old man name

Makes me think of Joey's imaginary friend Maurice the space cowboy.
Mauricio?

It was my granddad's name. He died in 1953. My mum didn't feel the need to pass it on to her sons

I really like it!

Very old man and not in a good way. Pretty awful.

I quite like it, but not so keen on it written down.
Better than Boris or Horace.

I know a little baby Moritz - pronounced "more it's". He's gorgeous, so I love the name now.

Horrific

I like it.

I had an Uncle Morris. Lazy work shy git. Terrible name!

Popular in Ireland years ago - pronounced Morris with Moss or Mossie as a nickname.

I don't like it, personally.

It seems dated to me.

Worse name ever.
