'Moe' could be short for what? (Girl)

[ovulationleavesmetired]

I love Moe for a girls name but would prefer a longer version too.
I know 'Ramona' is one option...can anyone else make any other suggestions?

Mocuisle
Mo-cush-la (irish)
"my heartbeat"

I immediately thought of Moe from the Three Stooges.

Really not, though. The primary meaning is ‘vein’. ‘Cuisle mhór’ is artery, and it can mean pulse, or be used for heartbeat, but also wrist (presumably because of veins being close to the surface), or forearm. Yes, it does feature in the expression ‘a chuisle mo chroí’ (literally ‘o pulse of my heart’, meaning something like ‘my heart’s dearest’), but it isn’t used as a name, other than on those demented Baby Name sites which make frankly mad claims for ‘Irish names’.

The Mo I know is called Maureen.

Morayo - pronounced Mor-ie-oh

Plenty of things weren't originally used as a name, my grown up niece is called Mocuisle, my Irish speaking, retired teacher Granda (90) agreed it is indeed a term of endearment "my darling".
So it IS used as a name (legal, yes, on birth certificate!) so... Really, yeah though 😁

Does your niece live in a Gaeltacht? Does she even live in Ireland?

I’m an Irish speaker. As I said in my post, if you’d read it, it is an (archaic) term of endearment, but its primary meanings are biological ones.

It’s the kind of nonsense Irish-Americans tended to come up with in times past.

Morven.

I only know one Mo and that's her name, I've never met another Morven but do quite like it.

Moe Tucker from the Velvet Underground is a Maureen.

No, and yes...
So?
Loads of names have primary meanings... Still used as names!
Ruby? Skye? River?
OP asked for suggestions, I gave her one. A real life one from my life.
Wow, you speak Irish, that's amazing!!! Well done you!! I am so impressed.
Archaic? And?? Do you make the rules on expiry dates for names?
Bore off, pedant. You're some craic

I love Marlow(e).

Morgelyn
Morvoren
Monet
Morven
Morgan
Morwenna

It’s very pretty

Any of the Mary names - because Mo makes me think Molly -

So Mary, Marianne, Molly, Polly, Maria, Marion, Maryam

Marsali is nice and unusual and has a similar vibe.

Otherwise Morwenna and Imogen are nice.

I don’t think she’d thank you for Maureen, Moana is moany, and Marlowe is one of those once trendy names that’s going rapidly south.

Agree it’s Mo rather than Moe for a girl

Oh yes this is nice too

I’d assume she doesn’t live in a Gaeltacht or even Ireland, thus no one she knows would have a clue what the name meant and thus in turn she doesn’t give a shit.

Pippa has a dodgy meaning in some languages, that doesn’t stop it being popular in English speaking world and Northern Europe

Names travel, language changes etc etc

One of my DD’s friends is called Molly and gets Mo for short

Morven
morgan
imogen
monique
moverly
Marlow
Morwenna

There's only one way to spell Morgan.

Molly . Or just call her moe. My kids have really unusual names and even though they are 18 and 20 I still have people comment on their names which is nice . I love moe on its own

Same. Its not good. Sounds like Moan.
Suppose you could have Simone.

It's a pity Granda didn't advise on the correct spelling 😉
You're missing a séimhiú there.

Fourth child?

Simone?

Morna
Morganna
Mauve
Malone
Morwenna

Ive only seen Mo for women and Moe for men, like Jo and Joe
