Mona?

[MumChats]

What does anyone think of mona? Middle name not decided yet. I dont make the "moaner" connection but I worry other people might!

I think of Ross’ gf on Friends, sorry. When he keeps forgetting about her as Rachel is having his baby.

Mona!!!

I don't like it at all. Moaner.

I just hear Moaner sorry.

Mina is a lovely alternative?

Moany Mona
or if you have any Irish connections Bord Na Mona.

Me too.

What about Ramona?

“What was wrong with Mona?” (Friends).

But if you love a name, you should go with it. Everyone gets used to names really quickly.

Best wishes OP xx

If your surname is Lott, avoid.

I think it's a lovely name. I've only heard it twice in my life, one is a distant relative and the other is Mona The Little Vampire(?!) but I think it's a cute name. Better than the kids who are named after perfumes and alcohol in my dc school...

Haaaaaaaaay Mona. Ooooooooooooh Mona

Old (ish) song by someone who used to be in Neighbours, can’t remember his name

Yeah sorry, I can't get "moaner" out of my head.

I don’t really understand how you can say Mona without thinking ‘moaner’.

Ramona is really nice, Mona does make me think of moaner, unfortunately.

it really only conjures up “moaner” for me and also Mona the vampire.

sorry, but it's awful

Mona the Vampiiiiiiiiiiire!

Craig McLachlan

I don't get moaner, because in my accent that sounds different to Mona. It's a nice name!
If you're bothered though, Rona? Morna? (though possibly people from some areas of England think that sounds the same as mourner 🤣). Maura?

Tell me you are joking

Mona the Moaner

Its awful

Ramona is nice tho

Craig McLachlan - was my first thought too

Ramona and still The Moaner

If you don't have an English accent Mona doesn't sound like Moaner at all...infact I've only made the connection after reading this thread!

Northern Irish/Irish/Scottish/American all "roll their Rs"

It does remind me of moaner, sorry. I also think everyone will make Mona Lisa quips and think how original they are

Yet say you don’t make the connection but you said it first OP, it’s a moany name. Very old fashioned too.

Didn’t someone from neighbours sing a song about mona and building a house next door ?
