Manon

I fell in love with the name Manon after hearing that Damian Lewis had named his baby daughter that. The only question is, how would you prounce it in an English speaking country? I know in French it is something like ma-NAW. If you met a little baby American Manon, how would you expect her to say it?

It's a shame - it's so much prettier vair-dee-ay. :)

I know -- but they had an ancestor who emigrated to Holland before coming to the US and the Dutchified version stuck. But doesn't Manon Verdier sound like a little girl who lives in a garden in Provence? ;)

Yes, exactly! ;)
