HelpMaureen
I have always loved this name. Was surprised to see many negative comments about it here. From what I have found, it means "Star of the Sea", or "bitter and dark", (derived from Mary) or translated from Gaelic to "little Mary". Although Called Mo by my brothers when I was young, I'd never acknowledge anyone trying to call me Reen or Reenie. The first man to fall in love with me told me you can't pronounce the name without your lips forming the shape of a kiss, from the first syllable. I've discovered when traveling in the UK that the accent is placed on the first syllable, which sounded odd to my ears. After reading some of the negative comments here, I begin to understand why I have occasionally heard I don't look like a Maureen. It's all about one's perception of a name, isn't it?
