原文: I am a Maureen. I love my name, and it is very beautiful. I hate that some people are being so rude and childish. It is not a dim witted country girl name, nor is it disgusting, awful, or old, but I will try to respect your opinions. Maureen is a timeless, beautiful, unique name, but I hate the nicknames. I despise when people call me "Mo" or "reenie." I also hate when people pronounce it like "Marine." As a child, some people call me "Moron" because they think it is funny. If you are one of those people, it definitely isn't funny. Even though it can be frustrating at times, I would never ever change my name and I love how uncommon and traditional it is. Please keep an open mind and know that there are young Maureens out there who want to learn about their name and stumble across rude comments about how ugly it is instead... All in all, it is a beautiful name and I would love to see more of it, but not so much it isn't uncommon. ;)
原文: Remember every parent when awaiting a child ponders long, and has good reasons for giving the name they do to this child. So unless it is some name you can't find in a baby name book don't be too hard on them. My mother swore that my father chose my first name after some "hussy" he met in England when he was serving in the Air Force. :-) I grew into its meaning - strong and valorous. My middle name was after the actress Maureen O'Hara. The hardest part is the different pronunciations, I was born in Washington, Pa - where it was pronounced "Mawr-een". Then moved to the mid-west where it is pronounced "More-een". I still say to myself, just like my mother, when I do something I probably shouldn't - "VAL-ER-EEE MAWR-EEN" :-)
原文: I didn't really like my name as a child, then I just got used to it. Now, I say my name to someone under 40 and assume they think I am old and the name is up there in popularity with Agnes or Mable. No matter, when my husband and I named our daughters Grace and Claire, people thought our choices were unusual. Now, of course, those names are rather popular.

翻译文: 2015年在美国出生的43名女孩被称为Maureen。
原文: The name Maureen was given to 43 girls born in the US in 2015.
原文: This name sounds a little hillbilly/redneckish to me. It reminds me of Arlene. It reminds me of a dim-witted country girl, but of course this isn't the case for all with the name.
原文: My name is "Maureen" and I always felt very fortunate because it's not a common name, so I rarely run into people having the same name. It was nice growing up going to school with a name that nobody else had. I felt unique. Many people have complimented me over the years on my name. It would be annoying to have two or more people in the same class or job or anywhere of importance with the same name. When somebody asks me my name, I say it with pride and confidence. I have always been widely accepted in social groups of all classes, never had difficulty making friends and no trouble attracting me. All in all, I feel pretty lucky to have my name. If people out there think it sounds old, they should see the men chasing me all the time. LOL!

翻译文: 这是我最喜欢的名字,可能来自我对Rent的爱。
原文: This is one of my favorite names, probably coming from my love of Rent.
原文: Jeff Fenholt of Black Sabbath's wife's name is Maureen, he calls her Reeni.It's a very pretty name if people knew how to pronounce it. I like my name. Thanks.
原文: Maureen doesn't seem very old-fashioned to me, even for an -een name. Possibly because it didn't catch on as much in the States as it did in the U.k. and Ireland. It has a sweet sound to it, but I can't shake the fact that a lot of British rock stars in the 60s and 70s seemed to be married to women named Maureen. Off the top of my head: Ringo Starr (mentioned above), both Robert Plant and John Paul Jones... again, those three are just off the top of my head!
原文: My maternal grandmother's name is Maureen (pronounced Maw-reen) I've never heard anyone call her "marine". I didn't know 'Marine' was even a name. She gets called "Mauro" as a nickname. Mostly by Grandpa. She is 84 years old, so I guess I can see the "old lady" tag, but she is the most beautiful person, and I associate this name with the loveliness that is her.

翻译文: 感谢让我感到不好的是被命名为Maureen,伙计们。 -_-
原文: Thanks for making me feel bad about being named Maureen, guys. -_-
原文: My first name is Pamela and my middle name is Maureen. My parents almost used Maureen as my first name but thought it sounded too much like Marine. I prefer having Maureen as my middle. I've only known of few women named Maureen and they have all been smart and artistic with super earthy personalities. Maureen Stapleton has always been one of my favorite actresses.

翻译文: Maureen O'Brien扮演了第一医生的同伴Vicki Pallister。
原文: Maureen O'Brien played the First Doctor's companion Vicki Pallister.
原文: A gorgeous name for a girl. :D Who cares if it's old-fashioned? >:/ Remember, children DO eventually grow up so won't trendy young names like Nevaeh, Jaden, Peyton, Jordyn etc. Both sound and look a little odd for an old person? ¬__¬.
原文: As a Maureen, I constantly get the nickname of Mo by many strangers and people who first meet me. I dislike that nickname with the passion of a thousand burning suns. Also super aggravating is pronouncing it as "Marine" as in a biologist or the military. As much as I love it and as unique it is, the above frustrates me so much I will most likely change my name in the future.

翻译文: 噢,这基本上是一个奶奶的名字,你怎么能叫一个婴儿莫琳?!
原文: Eww, this is basically a granny name, how could you ever call a baby Maureen?!?!?!
原文: I have an aunt named Maureen and if pronounced fully, we say More-een. She's always been Moe to everyone though. I'm not a huge fan, but it fits well with her siblings.
原文: Very pretty. Sounds very timeless, like you will never grow out of it (versus if you were named something like "Jaylee"). Also strong, sensible, and traditional.
原文: Maureen McCormick, Marcia Brady in the '70's TV show, The Brady Bunch.I can't say I am a huge fan, I prefer Maura, but I can't disparage the name of that great actress, Maureen O'Hara!
原文: Yikes, I'm not feeling the love here.Personally, I like the name. It doesn't really sound all that "old-fashioned" or ugly to me. In my opinion, it doesn't have that awful of a sound to it, depending on which pronunciation you choose to use. And this is coming from a fifteen-year-old. I've never met someone named Maureen, though the first time I heard the name was in RENT, a musical by Jonathan Larson. While I did not like the character, I adored the name. It was unique, it didn't sound like something a moron would name their kid, and it had a mature feel to it without seeming like something from my grandma's childhood.
原文: I am a 42 year old named 'Maureen' and ALL of my life I have hated the name. I even hate introducing myself as 'Maureen'. I've even thought of changing my name. I have asked people to guess my name before I've introduced myself and they have thought of everything but 'Maureen'. Do not call your child this name. I would love to sue my parents for giving this horrible mane to me.
原文: This is my middle name, and I like it alright. I say More-een. Since my name is Amalia Maureen, my family calls me Molly Mo, but my sister calls me Mo-Mo. I don't really like this as a first name. It makes me think of either cheesy soap operas or old ladies. I like the nicknames, though, so I think it's still a good middle name.

翻译文: 在爱尔兰不再受欢迎,认为老式。
原文: Not very popular in Ireland anymore, considered old fashioned.
原文: This is both my mother's and my grandmother's name, and they both pronounce it as "maw-REEN" or "mahr-EEN" and not "mo-REEN". My mother hates the nickname Mo and rather goes by Reen or Reenie.
原文: It's an old-fashioned, unpleasant-sounding name that reminds me of that sorry excuse for a human being, Maureen Dowd. All in all, no redeeming features.

原文: There's a author named Maureen Johnson who wrote my favorite book "The Burmedez Triangle" and of course Maureen of Rent.
原文: Maureen Johnson, the ecletic and wild character from the Pulitzer Prize-winning Broadway Musical RENT by Jonathan Larson. Of all the real-life Maureens I've met, she's still the one that sticks out the most in my head and the first one that comes to mind. A very confidant character, if somewhat overboard at times, but it makes the name a very strong one in allusion to her. One-of-a-kind name for sure. "The Tango, Maureen...."

翻译文: 大爱尔兰的名字,也可以用中间名。
原文: Great Irish name, could be used also a middle name.
原文: Maureen can come from Latin, Gaelic, Irish, Celtic, or Old French. Its possible meanings are great, little Mary, dark-haired, dark, or bitter. The Irish meaning is bitter. The Latin meaning is dark. The French meaning is dark-skinned.
原文: From the Irish "Máirín" ("MAH-reen"). The great Irish actress, Maureen O'Hara (born Maureen FitzSimmons), bore this name. Apparantly her mother had something against using the name "Mary" for her child, maybe fearing it was an insult to the Madonna. she must have been horrified when she found that Maureen translates roughly into "little Mary".
