Lemoni (or is it Limoni)?

Lemoni

I think there's an accent somewhere and it's of Italian or French origin?

Anyone heard of it?

I quite like it but are you going to get Snicket comments?

Satsuma's quite pretty!

No, no, no, no - no matter how it is spelt she will get the p*ss ripped out of her for the rest of her life. She will not thank you, in fact, she'll probably use her middle name instead.

It's the name of the little girl in Captain Corelli's Mandolin too, it's a beautiful name. The accent is on the last "i" so it's pronounced Lem on ee.

midnightexpress · 14/12/2009 16:09

I think it's a boy's name, actually

midnightexpress · 14/12/2009 16:09

oh, ok, maybe not. I'm sure it can be a male name too thoughg.

personally though, if you're in the UK I'd definitely say no.

MamaLazarou · 14/12/2009 16:24

It's horrendous. Truly horrendous.

Mincepiedermama · 14/12/2009 16:26

Not good.
It's lemony after all's said and done which is a bitter nasty fruit.

TheShowMustGoOn · 14/12/2009 16:27

No

ifyou like the sound maybe leonie?

Vivia · 15/12/2009 12:20

If you are Greek, it's beautiful Lay-Mo-NEE.

In the UK? Lemony. God awful.

Cortina · 15/12/2009 12:31

How do you spell it if Greek?

Oh dear. Perhaps Melody for a similar sound? [clutches at straws]

Beautiful. Its what I named my cat.

it sounds like the answer you would give if someone asked you what washing up liquid smelled of.

RubiMama · 16/12/2009 11:36

It literally means lemon in Greek. My Greek husband laughed and said even in Greece people would think it was funny. I wasn't allowed to call my DS Milo because it's Greek for apple!

AmIReallySayingThis · 16/12/2009 16:01

Very silly name, sorry.

lemons4ever · 22/05/2023 09:34
