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

Love Maurice, and it made me think of an alternative pronunciation in Morris.

What do people think about Morris?

I know a Morris, NN Moe. Lovely!

I pronounce them the same way. I prefer the look of Maurice.

@MerryMarigold interesting. I like the look of Maurice but

Is Maurice not “More - ees” and Morris “Moh - riss”?

I've only ever heard it said 'MOH-riss'. Obviously the French way would be 'Moh- REES' but not the way I say it. I think the little guy in 'Madagascar' may have influenced things badly though! Maybe start a thread on how people pronounce Maurice...
