Thoughts on names Amorae and Monroe?

[HonoursMummy]

what do people think of these names? will have an older sister called Honour.
Amorae ( a more A )
Monroe

please help

I like this suggestion!
OP, I'm not a fan of Amorae, but like said above, I do like Emori instead a lot and i think it sounds nice with Honour
Monroe isn't terrible imo (I live in the states, "out there" names seem to be more forgiven here), however yes she'd always be linked to Marilyn Monroe
If you really like a name, then disregard what everyone else thinks and go for it. It's your kid after all

What about another name that has a clear ‘trait’ or ‘attribute’ meaning ( I know that there is a name for them but I can’t think of it!
Suggestions:
Faith
Patience
Hope
Temperance (wouldn’t be for me cos wine)
Felicity
Verity
etc

yeah no one has put me off the names haha! i like this ive never heard of this name before.

Joke. Haha.

I'm sorry, OP, but please don't use Amorae unless you want to look illiterate. That's fine for you if you choose, but much worse for a child.

Amor is a Latin noun, it means love. Grammatically it is masculine .(Latin, like French etc etc and many other languages, gives male or female identifiers to words. Like it or not, it is a fact.)

In Latin, the 'ae' at the end of a word is grammatically feminine, and, when used as part of a a gramatically feminine word, it means 'of' or 'belonging to', or a plural. But the 'ae' ending is only used on 'female' words. So adding it to a 'male' word like Amor is just wrong. It's like saying 'she's a fine boy, he is'. Or 'That's her sweater; it belongs to him.'

Amore is a modern Italian word for 'love'. NB the spelling. It is 'amore' NOT 'amorae'. www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/italian-english/amore

Google tells me that 'Amorae' is the name of one or more wedding-dress shops.

The go to is not Honour. I’ve taught a few and actually considered it for my DD (who is Hester which I think goes well with Honor as they have that Puritan thing going on) Honour just looks wrong.

Hi op,

My daughter is named Monroe and we think it is an absolutely beautiful gender neutral name. We have received a lot of positive reactions when introducing our child and explaining the meaning behind it. It is fairly unusual where we live but we love it and so happy we decided to go with it.

If anyone is worried about it being too "out there" I have known plenty of people with more 'traditional' names that wish they were named something a bit more unusual and vice versa. People have such varied opinions on names, so just go with your heart.

Amorae makes me think of moray eels
I like Munroe

And for the record, only one person has ever mentioned Marilyn in response to her name & even then it was a positive link.

I’m sorry they are dreadful.

When the moon hits your eye, you'll regret it OP.

Amory?? this is lovely. It sounds similar to your spelling but is not so open to mispronounciation?

Chastity?

OP I know two Honors. They are 70 and 76. Their sis

Apologies, I don't know how that happened. Their sisters are called Belinda and Diana respectively. Probably outed myself.

Honor is lovely. I think the following go with it:

Girls: Cicely, Lavinia, Verity, Artemis, Daphne

Boys: Hector, Magnus, Ruaridh, Xavier

What about Marnie, Amira, Mari, Lyn, if you want something related to Marilyn?

Good God nooo!

Why would you name a daughter after a sexist antiquated concept of purity that's been used to subjugate women under the guise of religion?

I used to know a boy called Amaury pronounced a-more_ee

Honour is classy and beautiful and Amorae and Monroe are just the opposite of both of those things. Amorae in particular is especially bad. Is is made up? I’d feel very sorry for Amorae or Monroe, having a sister with a beautiful name like Honour, and then they’ve got lumbered with these names! Poor kid!

Honour is lovely. I don't think Amorae or Monroe go with Honour.

How about:
Aurora
Amara
Aubrey
Emelda
Arabella
Marissa
Marina

Amorae makes it look like you didn't know how to spell "amore", which creates a poor impression. I wouldn't recommend it. How about Amora? Amara?
Monroe is not my style, but better than Amorae.

It's not, and you're not getting positive reactions you're getting politeness. No-one tells the parents to their face how awful the kida names are. No-one wants to know the meaning behind it and that doesn't change the name anyway.

OP Amorae is a ridiculous mispelled attempt at a foreign name. Don't do it. It' will make you look dimwitted, like people who name their kid Neveah or Pheonix. Amorae and Monroe looks like you're apeing Mariah Carey but with even less intelligence and class, if such a thing is possible.

I met a little girl called Amadea recently and thought that was surprisingly lovely. And the meaning is “God’s Love”, if you want something Italian that sounds a bit like “amore”.

Honour and Amadea go really nicely together - they even have the same number of letters.

Do you know the song that everyone is quoting OP? You haven't acknowledged any of the many many posts that point it out.

"That's Amore" - Google it. It's a Sinatra type thing.

Yes Honor is beautiful Classic , not those names .
