The name 'Monarch' for a boy. Thoughts? Opinions???

What do you guys think of this?

No. It sounds silly as a name, TBH.

I am not a fan of the sound

Trying too hard.
And then I think of a monarch butterfly - that’s feminine :slight_smile:

It also rings very feminine to me. But I wouldn’t use for a girl either.

There’s always a first time for a name, so I guess it depends how out-there you want to be. [name_m]Monty[/name_m] could be a sweet nickname.

But personally I’m not a fan at all, it brings to mind either the butterfly (and I do love the butterfly, but it feels almost as common as ‘seagull’ or something?), or a stuffy, pompous, fat old man sitting on a throne.

It wouldn’t be the first time – Monarch was on the SSA list last year!

I’m sorry, but I’m not keen on it either. All these bold “status” names (Royalty, [name_u]Majesty[/name_u], [name_u]Reign[/name_u], Sire) strike me as rather flashy and overblown, I’m afraid.

[name_f]Monet[/name_f]? [name_u]Matisse[/name_u]? Petrarch?

Utterly ridiculous.

I kind of like it as it reminds me of [name_u]March[/name_u] which I can see as a boys name. But then I do agree Monarch makes me think of butterfly which feels feminine.

It sounds more feminine to me, but even for a girl it would be over the top.

It rings feminine to me as well.

No, sorry but I think it’s awful.

Not a fan, sorry.

It doesn’t sound feminine at all. No one will question it. It’s perfect for a boy or girl.

Monarch Gratuity looks special.

It depends if it’s for a real child or for a character

Good for a cat.
