What do you think of Maureen?

[maureehair]

What do you think of Maureen as a girl's name? It's listed on Mumsnet's Baby Name Finder.

prefer Maura and Margaux

We met a young American girl named Maureen and I was quite taken with it.

Maureen? oooooh she's cheap....sorry couldn't resist

I think I quite like it
Still got middle aged connotations though

Sorry, but I really do not like way it sounds. IMO the 'Mau' sound is harsh and not very appealing. I prefer Marie or Marina.

I like it.

I can't imagine a Maureen not wearing a tabard. It's a name I associate with cleaning/dinner ladies.

Maureen's lovely. But please don't call your baby after her. Sorry.

Oh no it's baaaaad!
I don't like any of the een ones, Maureen, Doreen, Eileen, Noreen. Kathleen is probably the best of a bad bunch but much prefer Katherine anyway.

no no no no

eugh.

I like Maura better.

Any name ending in -een is terrible in my opinion.

You'll be suggesting Brenda next

(and i think any name with 'au' in it sounds awful - maud, audrey etc bleurgh)

Even Laura?

Maureen, give us a hand down here in the bar love.

Maureen is a legend, think of all the famous Maureens.... er Lipman, Mlove, er....

Maureen smells of poo

Bastards! You're all bastards!!!

AND I haven't got a tabbard either!!!

yep,I'm with cuppateajanice. Maureen will always conjure up a comfortable,tabard wearing, curly permed lady for me.

lol at 'pest control officer' as most likely career for Maureens.

those blokes moustaches?

nah, too many adverts for Maureen.

If you're going down that path, just go the whole hog and call her Maude.
