Help[Opinions] Re: Maurice
in reply to a message by Murasaki
I don't like it. It's a family name, my paternal grandfather
was Maurice, I have an uncle Maurice(Maurie) and a cousin(who died) called Maurice. I'd love to know why my great-grandparents picked the name - his brothers and sisters had pretty regular names like Elizabeth and Thomas.
Usually I like family names but Maurice has never done it for me. My mother likes Muiris, the Irish version and says she considered it for one of my brothers.
I prefer the English to the French pronunciation.
