                        • Origin:

                          French, diminutive of Marie
                        • Meaning:

                          "bitter"
                        • Description:

                          Manon is an endearing French pet name for Marie or Marianne; it has the international yet straightforward feel that makes it a viable import. Manon of the Spring was a gorgeous French film, Manon Lescaut a 1731 novel by Abbe Prevost, set in France and Louisiana, that was controversial in its day. It formed the basis of operas by Puccini and Massenet, and several films and TV series.
                      • Mars
                        • Origin:

                          Roman mythology god of war
                        • Description:

                          The name of the Roman god of war began to sound less intimidating when Erykah Badu gave it to her daughter, and musicians Thomas and Bruno Mars (the latter born Peter Hernandez) have given it a modern edge. Mars actually could make a pleasant, planetary middle name for either sex.

                      • Maritana
                        • Mathurine

                                  • Description:

                                    This Roman mythology (and planet) name would be very hard to handle. It derives from a root meaning cloud.
                                • Noémie
                                  • Origin:
