Monroe 🔥

I think this is just darling for a girl, especially one that is self-assured and resilient in her aspirations. I love the two-syllable-ness lol, makes it strong and distinct.

That's a beautiful name!

I like this a lot for a girl! It sounds stylish and spunky. And I have no idea why anyone would automatically associate it with Marilyn Monroe given that she died almost 60 years ago. Mostly likely 98% of kids today have zero idea who she was.

It's currently at #690, so it's uncommon.

This is our youngest girl’s middle name, Starling Monroe - we absolutely adore it. It definitely was not in memorial of Marilyn, we loved how it rounded out her otherwise very feminine sounding name.

Wow, how judgemental :/

Really don't get the appeal, sounds very masculine and personally connect the name with James Monroe more than Marilyn.

Love it! Classic and sophisticated, feminine without being frilly!!!

We used this as a middle name for our daughter who is almost 2 and still love it. I saw it while flipping through a baby name book and was drawn to the meaning of "from the river's mouth." My husband and I took a lot of canoe trips together before she was born, so it instantly held special meaning to us. I don't really associate it with Marilyn Monroe at all.

I think it would make a great boys name and you wouldn't have to worry about the Marilyn connection.

why is this getting popular?! I look down upon anyone who admires Marilyn Monroe enough to name their kid after her. She was crazy!! Like Ophelia crazy.

A secret guilty pleasure of mine. It's getting too hot too fast, though. By the time I have kids, I predict Monroe will be too popular for me to use.
