It is to laugh - What's in a name? - A subtle or funny meaning? [View all]

These are all "supposed" to be actual names of people that can be reinterpreted or mixed up to give a "cute" meaning to the actual name.
Some of them may be a little tricky such as Mona being short for Monica.
The first six need no "reinterpretation."
The rest, well...
Some may require substituting a first name with a sobriquet, moniker or nickname.
These are only a few. Some may be a little tougher.
See how many you can "rename."

Monica Lott > Mona Lott
