Help[Opinions] Thoughts on the name Monroe for a boy?
What are your thoughts on Monroe for a boy?
Replies
I like it! On a boy it’s sounds somewhat vintage and dapper. The only thing I dislike about it is the Marilyn association and that most will assume it’s feminine.
Always found it ugly personally, for either gender
I do think it suits a boy better than a girl

My first thought is Marilyn Monroe.
Don't like it at all
I don't hate it, but for some reason I prefer the spelling Munro for a boy.
It looks less obviously like a last name when spelled that way. I also pronounce it slightly differently.
When I hear or see the name Monroe, two images come to mind: tragic actress Marilyn Monroe and the annoying TV character Monroe on the 80's sitcom "Too Close For Comfort". I'm not a fan of the name for either gender but I think it's better for a girl.
This name still sounds like a surname to me.
