Help[Opinions] Monte / Monty
I'm really digging Monte for a girl right now. I think it's tomboyish and charming, and I quite like the idea of Rosamond "Monte".
I also like Montgomery or Montague "Monty" for a boy (and Montgomery secretly for a girl, too), though I'm not sure I'd ever use either.
Thoughts?
Much obliged!

I am so sorry, all I can think of is The Full Monty. I am trying not to, really.
However, that makes it totally unusable, especially for a girl, to me.
As a nickname though... it's pretty cool. Montgomery or even something like Simonette would work.

Haha!
This actually dawned on me this afternoon, I was just walking down the street and was like, "Ohh, yeaaah." I actually have it in my DVD collection, and I can see the damn thing from where I sit with my laptop, haha. I've heard the phrase isn't used often in the US, but if you don't know the film though, and you're a Brit, all "the full monty" really means is the whole shebang. I guess that's passable? Ish?

Monty's always nice - reminds me of James Montgomery Falsworth from Marvel Comics. :)
I wouldn't have thought of Monte for a girl, but I can see it working!
Montague is quite a mouthful for a fn (and quite surname-sounding as well as all that Shakespearean association), but Monty nn helps with all of that. :)
I'm not sure I could get behind Montgomery for a girl, but I do like Mackenzie for a girl, and I'm not sure what the difference is. :P Maybe I just need to think about it, get myself used to it...
Montgomery Faye
Montgomery Joy
Montgomery Ruth
Montgomery Rosalind
Montgomery Claire
Montgomery Johanna
Montgomery Annette
I dunno...maybe it's growing on me already.

I'm afraid I'm not very familiar with Marvel, aside from owning a couple of old annuals, so I'm not sure who JMF is.
Yeah, I don't think I'd ever use Montgomery as a girls' name. I like it in theory, but not in practise. Montgomery Faye could be cute, though.
Thanks!

I have loved Montgomery nn Monty for years and years. I found Montague when we were actually naming kids in the last few years, but my husband wouldn't go for it. Then I latched onto Montego but he wasn't on board with that either.
Monte for a girl, eh? Hmm. I don't like Rosamond at all, but Monte redeems it a bit. :) How about these girl Monte options:
Amaranta
Montana
Samanta / Samantha
Simonetta
Simone
Diamond (not that I would recommend this name)
Edmonda

Oh, wow, Amaranta! That hadn't occurred to me. How cute! Also, Montego is fab!
Thank you!
Thank you!
