  1. I picked the middle name for my son. It came to me when I was thinking about my great- grandparents, namely my great- grandfather, who had the same middle name. As soon as I paired his first name with Monroe, it had a nice ring to it, and goes perfectly with his first name.

  2. Monroe was unique! Found it hard to pick unique boys names

    • I found it to be enthusiastically and energetically unique. A huge break for first names that are also strong and uniquely masculine.

  3. Greetings.
    The middle name MONROE is given to the first born son of the first born son of the first born son . . . in our family. My son is the latest recipient and at 30 years old now, I’m afraid the tradition will end with him*. I love the name and feel it goes great with the rest of my full name. Stephen Monroe Long.

    *Can’t blame him. I wouldn’t bring a child into the luciferian end times we’re experiencing.

    ~Keep on Keepin’ on

  4. My family lived on Monroe St for 20 years. It was a duplex. My parents lived downstairs and when my sister and I wanted to move out we moved upstairs and rented the upstairs apartment instead of moving out. That house had a ton of memories, including being the place my mom took her last breath and went to be with Jesus.

    Monroe is a Scottish name that means “from the Hill” which was a joke kind of since my name is Hillary. It also means from the river Roe. I feel like God told me he would be a peacemaker and peaceful like a river. So far he has been!

  5. We chose the name after my grandfathers middle name. We both loved it before we even had kids. It’s a strong name with lots of good nicknames (Moe or Roe). We paired the name with my husbands grandfathers name for his middle name. It is so special?
