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?

I love the name, ever since watching Manon des Sources - a great movie btw.
The movie's french, but it should have subtitles.

The way we french-folk pronounce it is Mah-no-n the last n being somewhat silent.
In english I have heard Ma-non/ Man-on.
