Help[Opinions] Re: Mona
in reply to a message by Array
1. I like it, it's short, sweet and yet spunky. The only drawback would be that it has the sound of the word Moan in it, but that's not that bad.
2. I agree that Mona Rae sounds good, and of course honors you : )
Actually I have no idea whether your middle name is spelled Rae or Ray, I just prefer Rae, haha.
3. I prefer Mona, I don't really care for Ramona.
4. It brings to mind Mona Lisa, but you had to have seen that coming, haha. I love Da Vinci so it's definitely not a negative connotation.
5. Well, I've never met a Mona so I wouldn't say that it's common and it may be a bit dated, but not to the point of unusable.
Something not listed in the entries for Mona is that it is also the Old English word for the Moon, which you can see under the entry for Monday : )
Oh, and apparently Mona is Homer Simpson's mother's name, haha.
One more Edit, you can see what Mona means in other languages here: http://www.websters-online-dictionary.org/translation/Mona

My middle name is Rae. :) Thanks for the translation thing--that's really neat! Since I've never used Websters online, I didn't know that feature existed.
I like the idea that Mona could mean "moon"--it adds to its charm for me.

"Phineas. That's an interesting name."
"Yeah. It's Latin for 'kick me'."
