It's logical if you prn Monica that way, but I don't know many people who do. Either you typed it that way for emphasis when italics or bold would have been better, or you actually prn it like that? Personally, I prn it like MON-ik-uh. The accent of the second syllable is awkward to me, and I have a hard time producing the two N sounds one after the other.

I pronounce it the way you do. You're right that the capitals were for emphasis and also right that italics or bold would have been better. Funnily enough, I never thought to use bold or italics and will in future if I attempt to emphasize (sp?) without involvment of pronounciation.

No worries, but yeah, your original method creates confusion.
