Montserrat

I love it. Although I've seen people say at first glance it looks like monster rat. I'm trying to decide if I like it enough as a possibility to mention it to Martin. I love it as a GP but I have no idea what I would pair it with.
Questions
Does anyone else see monster rat? Or is it just when its mentioned that people see it?
Is it useable as a middle name or should it stay a GP?

I definitely hear and see monster rat. I think it has to do with the hole being able to read a word if the letters are rearranged as long as the first and last letter stay the same..

terhe is a mostner rat lnivig in my coslet


It even sort of sounds like monster rat doesn't it? I would pron. it MON ser AT
I don't think it would be completely unusable in the middle name spot. Monty would be a cute nickname.

I read it as Monsterrat.

I can't say I am overly fond of the name. As Katie said, I suppose it could be used as a middle name :)

I think it's going to stay a gp and not even make it as a middle.
I pronounce it MON-serr-ahd with the d being barely there. I seem to have a temporary infatuation with Spanish names/pronunciations.
