Manon (Welsh Pronunciation)

[RoseApp]

Manon - Welsh pronunciation? Is this very marmite?

I’d never heard of it until I moved to Wales. Not my favourite name.

I thought it was a French name. I pronounce it like 'non' in French without the 'n' sound at the end. Anyway, it's my best friend's name so I like it!

I would assume French pronunciation. What's the Welsh pronunciation?

I don’t know what the pronunciation is. Man-on? I like it

One of my favourites, along with angharad.

MAN-on in Welsh. It is a Welsh name as well as French. I don’t know many who are children, lots aged around 30-35.

Lovely name and not overused.

I love it. Live in Wales so slightly biased. Super-easy to pronounce compared to some Welsh names.

MAH-non - the inference is always on the penultimate syllable in Welsh and in a short name then sometimes it is the first vowel! I don't think anyone gets too excited about it though. Gorgeous name - beautiful queen! Not surprised people are confused by the French because Welsh and French are Brythonic languages - we have the same word for bridge after all! I'm a Rhian (also a queen!)... and have to remind people that the Rhi is the stressor!

It's MAN-onn. In Welsh names the stress is always on the penultimate syllable, and a vowel in an unstressed syllable does not get said as a schwa.
(Rhian is RHEE-ann not REE-un. Rhiannon is Rhee-ANN-onn.)

Manon is very popular but it's not currently popular for babies.

Gorgeous name. I’m not Welsh but would have no trouble pronouncing it.

I’m Welsh and love it.
pronounced very similar to the French way but the second n is (lightly) pronounced

I love it but from my username, you can see I am also Welsh. Its a name that isnt that common anymore, I have no idea why though.

If I was to have another child, I think it would be in my shortlist.

Lovely.

Probably because the new parents knew several of them already and because it's not the same style as the names that are currently popular.

A comparison might be with Rebecca. In the late 1980s and 1990s is seemed like every baby girl was a Rebecca but it's not popular now.
