Hi all, hoping for some inspiration! Surname starts with an M, and I really like alliterative names. First baby, so nothing to match with etc.

Ideally I’d like something that’s not too popular, which would give them a good chance of being the only one in the class….

Open to all suggestions! Thanks

My daughter is called Mackenzie which I was unsure about due to it being so unusual but oh wow....She's definitely a Mackenzie!! I cannot imagine her with any other name, she's an absolute firecracker! Grin

For a boy I like Max

Mackenzie literally means 'Son of Kenneth' ; seems a very odd choice for a girl.

@lucascriesalot

My eldest son is named Milton.
That's a lovely name. It does make me think of the sterilising fluid to begin with but only briefly. I actually really like it 💙

Manon for a girl. Such a beautiful name.

Absolutely love the name Manon.
I also love my auntie's name Milada, but it's a very Czech name, so a bit niche.
I also like Milou, Minna, Mirabella, Malaika, Marion

This is my friend's name but she's always called Manonne as English people don't pronounce it properly.

Also love the name Manon, and was delighted to meet a little girl with it.... until I heard others calling her mannun, like Shannon. It might depend where you live how it will be pronounced.
