Hi Kazz, not thinking of it as a name are you ;)

'Mons' is the Latin word for 'mountain'.
'Mon' is the French word meaning 'my' ('Ma' for feminine objects, 'mes' for plurals).
:)

No I am not considering it as a name I am down to two I thought I'd found the one but it went down like a lead balloon. So back to the drawing board actually.

Why not wait til you have the pup, it is supprising how often a name just arrives out of thin air once you have the pup, you will have to disgard the rude ones but I find someone in the family will come up with something other than puppy-puppy.

Mind you if I call puppy-puppy even now I get them all come;)

Thanks Jackie I think we will maybe it will just come to me - the cats names were the same Cleo was Cleo straight off it suited her as she is convinced she is "Cleopatra" Queen of all she surveys - reborn as a ginger and white cat ;) 
But Oz oh he was many names for a week until Oscar came to mind Oz for short and suits him down to the ground.
