I think of two characters.

---

The first is from an old show called Too Close for Comfort. Monroe was a guy and very effeminate, dumb, goofy and annoying. I think he's on a kids show now...Ned's Declassified, maybe?

---

The other is from Last of the Mohicans. A somewhat more desirable character, but I can't think of the name without hearing it said in a deep voice with a Native American accent. And it was the guy's surname.

For a boy it would be bad enough. For a girl, it's horrible.

Most of the posters here are probably too young to remember the 1980s show "Too Close For Comfort," but I still associate the name Monroe with Jim J. Bullock's character from that show--dumb and goofy. The name is not feminine in the least, though.

I like it - not to the point where I would use it, but due to it being Charles Schulz (Peanuts) mn, its one of the more out-of-date names I do like.

Oh, and no, I dont like it for a female

Monroe on a woman is horrible! I prefer Monroe on a male.

why oh why.... blech

Honestly, all I think of is a mole. As in, the mole on Marilyn Monroe's face. I don't even think of her first - the mole is all.

---

God only knows why...

Monroe on a boy is bad enough. Monroe on a girl is just hideous.

ugh!

Reminds me of Marilyn obviously. I once knew a girl who had this as her middle name but I personally find it far more masculine.

Monroe is definitely masculine imo. Also, I think its a bit too sur-namey
