I wasn’t laughing at your comment, futilityroom, it just shows that’ll be peoples first thoughts.

Is association or sound more important to you? Wondering if Monroe would be on your list if it weren't for the Hollywood connection or if it were spelt Munro?

I ask because if association and meaning matter more then that will shape people's recommendations

Amorae is awful and in Italian it's Amore. Monroe is awful too.

Are you using them for a boy or girl?

Amorae- How is it pronounced? Are you trying for the Italian word for love, but spelling it wrong?

Monroe- I think of Marilyn and assume its a male name?

Any others you like? I personally don't like either, but that's irrelevant.

Please don't do that to your child.

That’s Amore

Sorry but I’m with the first 2 posters; it’s bloody awful and spelt incorrectly.

No, to both of them.

Monroe is 100% Marilyn and she didn't have a happy life.

Amorae sounds like a trendy spelling of the Italian word "amore".

What about Felicity, Verity, Hope? Amira, Amara, Amaia?

Amorae will autocorrect to amoral.

Dislike both I'm afraid.

Honour is a beautiful name, you need something equally fabulous for your next DD.

My husband used to sing some silly football song to that tune too. When the ball hits your head and you're sat in row z, that's Zamora?

Going to be humming all night now.

Amorae is just daft. It's a good idea to have a name that people can pronounce.

How about Cecilia to go with Honor.

I love Monroe but not Amourae, it’s too much of a mouthful.

Some quick suggestions:
Honour
Miabella
Laurina
Lilavie
Soliana
Maelie

Definite no to both. I'm sorry, but you did ask. They're almost comically dreadful
