Manon

[lioneggs]

I have a daughter with a Welsh name- I'm Welsh and live in England. we don't know what we're having but if it's a girl we'd like another Welsh name. We both really like Manon but something is niggling me, maybe it's the Man. I do think it's a beautiful name though. Thoughts of Manon or any other suggestions? Thanks!

Getting lots of positives replies!.
I am going to be the black sheep lol
I work with a Manon and I really dislike the name. First time I heard it and I do not like the sound of it.

It's a Welsh name, but as other posters have pointed out it's also a French name..

Really like the name. I think I have a new girls name favourite even when I am done having children! 🙂

I love Manon!

He's a massive football fan but hasn't made this connection! My BIL has though so I'm hoping he dosent tell him. My husband is part French so it actually works really well for both of us!

Eira was on my list it's so pretty but this is a spring baby 🐑

Thanks all. Feel confident in my name choice again was just having a wobble!

I just outed myself as a Rhiannon elsewhere  I'm sorry about the unpleasant ones you've met. I've met a couple, too, but I like to think I'm alright

Manon's a beautiful name, though. I love it. I also love the fact that it travels (France and Wales). I'd go for it!

There was a sad face after elsewhere!

I know a lovely one

I think it’s a lovely but I will just flag this what we say at work when slagging someone off and they start to come towards us. e.g. our boss.

someone mutters ‘Man On’ and we all start having some random animated conversation about something random, knowing that she is heading towards us.

This is in Barnsley, South Yorkshire for context.

I really like it

I also like Ffion and Olwen

I really like Manon, ond Mared a Mabli hefyd 😉

That sounds quite grim. Hopefully the OP’s daughter won’t encounter an environment like that. I haven’t.

It's beautiful. Use it.

I love Manon, and don’t see “Man” at all (without looking for it).

It’s gorgeous and sounds like it’ll go beautifully with your other names.

It's nice. I know quite a few of them. Might avoid it if you have a surname like Hill or Moore or something.

As others said if it was good enough for the wonderful Helen McCrory's daughter...

I love Manon and I am not at all familiar with the opera.

I know a young Manon, he's Egyptian. Love the name though.

I know a lovely Manon. So many people comment on her name.

It's beautiful. And quite unusual.

I know someone who has a Manon and a Ffion.

I like Manon, it works in both Welsh and French.

To me it's ugly. Just see Man.

Manon Bradshaw by Susie Steiner? I loved those books and saw that the author passed away quite recently, which is so sad. She was a brilliant writer.

I love (French*) Manon, but it needs pronouncing with the accent to be properly pretty.

*I don't know how it sounds in Welsh

Manon is lovely.

I quite like it.

It made me think of The Craft. Which is not a bad thing I love that film!
