How do YOU pronounce "Manon"?

I find I like the spelling and the french pronunciation.
But I haven't decided if I like it in english.

I'd probably say Man-un. Rhymes with Cannon.

Yeah, I think the French pronunciation is nice, but in English I'd be afraid of a girl being called "Man-on"

Maah-no, but not a hard NO, like English. More of the soft "no" of French.


I don't really like it in plain-old-English.


Haha, makes me think of The Craft, lol.

I'd pronounce it with the true french meaning.. but you do know Manon is merely a pet name correct.. a nick name of sorts...

In French it's pronounced Mah-NO-n.
