Drag Name Origin[]

In her Season 10 Meet the Queens interview, Monét explains that the idea for her drag name came to her when she spotted a currency exchange booth across the street while eating chicken wings. Her first name is a substitution of the word "money" with the name "Monét" (stylised with an accent over the E), while her last name "X Change" is played on the word "exchange."

Her first drag name was revealed by Bob The Drag Queen to be Ferocia Coutura on the Sibling Rivalry podcast.

Monét is a member of the House of Davenport. She is the drag daughter of Honey Davenport. Although she has performed as "Monét X Change Davenport" in the past, her current drag name no longer contains the Davenport name.
