HelpRe: Maurice / Morris / Morus
in reply to a message by Pie
I suppose Morris is less ambiguous; there's always the chance that people might go the Chevalier route on seeing Maurice! Morus is hilarious - Latin for a mulberry tree. But in Wales I imagine you get more Moruses than mulberries ...
Morris used to be popular among Jewish South Africans; now it seems dated. I've always rather liked it for its sturdy stockiness and its lack of nns; could do Mo I suppose but nobody did to my knowledge. (My friend Ann married a Morris and called him Muff!)
Gethin Morus? Morus Ieuan? Might as well make the most of it. If you used the Maurice version, then it might be as well to either put it in the mn slot or to use a name with it that doesn't happen much in France.
