原My name is Montserrat. To all those who think my name is disgusting:
1-This is NOT an English name. I am afraid there is not Rat
2- It is a highly regarded name where I come from. The lady of Montserrat is a tiny little exquisite figure that was carved in the early days on Christianity. It was found in a cave in the year 718 and now sits proudly at the altar of the Abbey that bears the same name. The lady of Montserrat is an icon, a reference in Catalan heritage and identity. The abbey is a very important place of pilgrimage. I recommend anyone visiting Barcelona to go, it's a beautiful place.
As described on this site, the name MONT means Mount or Mountain - SERRAT - means Jagged it refers to the appearance of the mountain where the little figure was found. I repeat, there is no RAT or anything to do with the misunderstood little animal.
I often work with little English children and some have reacted to my name with curiosity and some degree of shock. Once one of them said "but you're not a MONSTER RAT!" I thought that was very cute and I can understand a little 4 year old getting muddled, but an an adult saying my name with disgust because of the RAT ending is simply pathetic.
3- and finally, who cares if the name is placed on the top 100 or 100,000!
This is is a good website. I found it when looking for inspiration to name my baby... but reading this is upsetting. All names should be celebrated and above all respected.
原I'm named Montserrat and live in the US. A lot of your comments did offend me, but it's nothing new. Yes, you're entitled to an opinion, no one said you couldn't have one, but sometimes it's best to consider how rude it is to speak so arrogantly. Language is an art, it's beautiful, and it's strange to other cultures. As a 17 year old I've heard almost everything about my name, especially my favorite 'monster rat' but I've also heard how beautiful people believe it is. I grew to hate my name and I hated telling people my name always having to help them pronounce it; I'd give up and they'd end up calling me Mo. So yes, it's my name and it's beautiful no matter what your opinion is. It's unique and I'm happy I don't have the same name as everyone else.
原This name isn't ugly or horrifying- I actually like it. Like another person said, sounds better in Spanish and better meaning to it. My grandma, before she passed away, told my mom to name me monserrat so it's a special name to me (: But everybody has different opinions.
原This is an absolutely stunning name. To English speakers it may sound strange, but in the Spanish, French, Italian or Portuguese languages, it's beautiful. Believe me, names like Bailey, Riley or Madison sound extremely strange to many non-English speakers. Montserrat (MONE-SER-AWT)would be a great first or middle name.

蒙特塞拉特Roig I Fransitorra（加泰罗尼亚语发音：[munsəratrɔtʃ];巴塞罗那，1946年6月13日 - 1991年11月10日）是加泰罗尼亚作家的小说，短篇故事和文章。
原Montserrat Roig I Fransitorra (Catalan pronunciation: [munsəˈrat ˈrɔtʃ]; Barcelona, June 13, 1946 - November 10, 1991) was a Catalan writer of novels, short stories and articles.
原Montserrat Caballé (Catalan: [munsəˈrat kəβəˈʎe], Spanish: [monseˈrat kaβaˈʎe]; born 12 April 1933) is a Spanish operatic soprano. She has sung a wide variety of roles, but is best known as an exponent of the bel canto repertoire, notably the works of Rossini, Bellini, Donizetti and Verdi. She came to the attention of a much wider audience in 1988 when she sang with rock-star Freddie Mercury of Queen the song featuring her home city "Barcelona", later a theme song for the 1992 Summer Olympics in that city.

2012年在美国出生的228名女婴被授予蒙特塞拉特的名字。
原The name Montserrat was given to 228 baby girls born in the US in 2012.
原I first heard this name on the actress Montserrat Lambard, and I immediately thought it was really unique and cool. Actually, until I looked at these comments the 'monster rat' thing hadn't even occurred to me since it isn't 'monster' in the name. Maybe it's because I immediately translated the Mont bit into 'mountain', but the spoonarisation didn't even enter my head as I separated it in to the distinct parts 'mont' and 'serrat'. Have to say that that if this is an impression common to English speakers it probably would put me off, but this is a great shame, as I think it's a genuinely lovely name that sounds nice not just in Spanish, but in any English pronunciation that doesn't completely butcher it (and I think any English speaker with even the slightest familiarity with Romantic languages could get close to the correct pronunciation by themselves.)
原I really like the name Montserrat. In Spanish, it's pronounced something like mon-seh-RRAHT, and it has a really beautiful and exotic ring to it. The "monster rat" connection in English is unfortunate, though, and would probably prevent me from ever using it, which is a shame because it's truly a lovely name.
原This name is not pronounced 'MONSTERrat', if you look closely at the name, the 't' is before the 's'. It's pronounced 'mon-seh-rrat', with the last 't' being only pronounced slightly, almost like a d. Also the 't' after the 'n' isn't pronounced at all.
原I always see monster rat when I see this name and I do not like it. Yeah, I'm sure people who come from other cultures will view and pronounce this name differently (I say MAHN-sur-raht, don't know if I'm right) but it think some are forgetting, people who speak English have the right to an opinion as well as they do. I'm sure some Catalan people do not like the sound of some English names but I don't see anybody implying they are xenophobic.
原Have any of you paused to consider that in your mostly English speaking tongues, Montserrat sounds quite different in its own language and accent. I assure you, it's a lovely name.

一个着名的歌剧女高音被命名为蒙特塞拉特Caballe。
原A famous opera soprano is named Montserrat Cabelle.
原The art school I went to was named Montserrat. I don't like it as a personal name, however. (Maybe because it's too easy to make a typo and end up calling someone a monster rat.)
原There's something strangely alluring about this name. I think it has a pretty ring to it. I don't think I would give it as a first name, but I think it would be a neat middle name to have.
原There are far worse names on the top 1000, just so you know. Nevaeh is a good example. Anyway, the answer to your question is: Many Catholic Hispanics who use this name as a tribute to Virgin Mary.

译 我被命名为蒙特塞拉特，住在美国。很多你的评论都触犯了我，但这不是什么新鲜事。是的，你有权得到一个意见，没有人说你不能有一个，但有时最好考虑这么傲慢的说话是多么粗鲁。语言是一门艺术，它是美丽的，它对其他文化是奇怪的。作为一个17岁的孩子，我几乎听说过我的名字，特别是我最喜欢的“怪物大鼠”，但我也听说过多么美丽的人相信它。我越来越讨厌我的名字，我讨厌告诉人们我的名字总是帮助他们发音;我会放弃，他们会告诉我Mo.所以是的，这是我的名字，它是美丽的，无论你的意见是什么。它是独一无二的，我很高兴我没有与其他人相同的名字。

译 我第一次听到这个名字在女演员蒙特塞拉特Lambard，我立即认为它是真的独特和酷。实际上，直到我看着这些评论，“怪物老鼠”的事情甚至没有发生在我，因为它不是名字中的“怪物”。也许是因为我立即把山麓翻译成'山'，但是柚子甚至没有进入我的头，因为我把它分开到不同的部分'mont'和'serrat'。不得不说，如果这是一个常见的英语演讲者的印象，这可能会把我关闭，但这是一个伟大的耻辱，因为我认为这是一个真正可爱的名字，听起来不仅是西班牙语，但在任何英语发音并不完全屠杀它（我想任何英语的发言者，甚至最熟悉浪漫语言可以靠自己正确的发音）。
