Hi ladies! I thought I could use some help with chosing a baby name. I need a second name for Maria and ideas for boys name. So far I`v got:

Marcel
Max
Maximilian
Marcus

There is something about the letter M...I can`t explain. I would appreciate tour oppinion.

Maria Elizabeth?
Maria Francesca?

I like Max out of the ones you have chosen. I also like Michael & Matthew

I have other names I like but you seem to be sticking with the M theme.

Ooh, I LIKE Monty! As my friends would say, very North London. Are you brave enough for Marmaduke?

horseshoe · 02/06/2005 16:17

Marcel makes me think of the monkey in friends!!!

Sorry, but if your like me I relate every name I think of to someone I know.

hence no name ideas for you.

I love Max (very cool name)and I like Marcus. I would put Maria with Christina, Luisa, Theresa, or Sophia.

Iklboo · 02/06/2005 16:34

Maria Luisa sounds great! I suppose it can depend on your surname too though. Maria Luisa Shufflebottom (profound apologies to anyone of that name out there - it's just an example!) doesn't quite have that ring to it does it

sorrel · 02/06/2005 16:37

i like Monty too- reminds me of monty don or Donty Mon as dh calls him

Pinotmum · 02/06/2005 16:41

Monty reminds me of Monty Modlin (sp) I'm showing my age now

sorrel · 02/06/2005 16:45

who is he pinotmum?

Pinotmum · 02/06/2005 16:48

sob, sob, I am so old. Monty Modlin was a guy who appeared on something like Nationwide in the 70's. Now you're going to ask what Nationwide is aren't you? It was an evening news programme that came on about 6 pm. Monty was small, stout and chatty, mid 50's I would say. Hope that helps

sorrel · 02/06/2005 16:57

oh i remember Nationwide very well- but not your man Monty.( i am ancient! Can only yhink of frank bough ( lovely jumper)and the other short guy- what was his name.. oh help me out now Pinotmum!!!!!

Pinotmum · 02/06/2005 17:03

Lonf short - Hugh Scully??? Monty did a little appearance as a roving reporter type - used to be an ex black cab driver I think. I was about 7 yo at the time so I may be talking out of the back of my head

Pinotmum · 02/06/2005 17:11

Long shot I mean {blush]

sorrel · 02/06/2005 17:12

no not hugh Scully- the other one who fronted the programme for years-oh god i'll have to go and look it up now...!

ahymum · 02/06/2005 20:50

Thank you all!

OK, it seems like Max, Marcus and Mark doesnt sound bad to you too - thats a start But maybe I shoudn`t be so narrow minded and try some other letters....? Any favourites?

Maria Estelle and Maria Luisa sound very good, I agree

Oil, thanks for the M names board!
