What are some alternate names for the name Monroe?

I am trying to find someone in my genealogy. By alternate names I mean a common nickname or shortening. Similar to how sometimes people named Robert go by Bob. I am thinking that he went by another name because I cant find him on any census's

What are some alternate names for the name Monroe?
That's a hard one. Because it doesn't have a common nickname, the likelihood is that if he had one, it was way out of the realm of normal thinking.





Here's a good example. My dad had 6 stepbrothers and a stepsister. Would you have ever imagined these were their given names and that these nicknames belonged to them?


Clarence: Wimp


Vincent: Windy


Tom: Clutch


Erwin: Baldy


Victor: Cap


Caspar: Honey


Aileen: Burt





At some point, logic leaves the bestowal of nicknames.
Reply:First, I would check the 3 variant forms: Monro, Munro and Munroe.





Do you know his middle name?
Reply:you could edit or repost, giving his name and names of siblings/ parents, if you know them. We can give it a run. If US, has to be 1930 or earlier.. 1901 for UK.
Reply:Monroe can also be spelled Monro or Munro, if that's any help. I can't seem to find any shortenings of the name.
