Montserrat
This girls' name has been growing on me for a while. What do you think of it?

It's a name that's been growing on me too; strong, unusual, and beautiful. But if I were to ever use it, it'd be relegated as an interesting middle name at the most. Kids would probably pick up on the "monster rat" thing pretty quickly otherwise.
Monster rat!
Sorry, I couldn't resist the pull of the R.O.U.S. :-)
But really, that's what the original spelling looks like upon first read (and some continued readings). I understand the appeal of the sound, though, which is why I don't mind the spelling Monserrat, dropping that first 't'.

...ok, now I love Montserrat
I love it! There's a Mexican student at the boarding school where I teach, and her name is Montserrat, though she goes by Montse.
It's a bit much for me, but it does have a namesake in Montserrat Caballe, if you're an opera fan. :)
Its too close to "monastat" which is a fertility product (pregnancy sticks. The thing woman pee on to see whether or not they're prego)
It also sounds like a name of a mountain range, a religion, a religious place where people pray such as monastaries or a name of a hurricane\storm or a monster
It just doesn't sound like a human name at all
