It all depends on the specific design elements used to create the monogram. Specifically, these elements vary from the fonts used, any decorative objects made part of it, as well as, the color, the frame if any and the placement.

Girly Monograms

Monograms that are girly often use thin serif, script, handwritten or calligraphy fonts, as these have more movement and are more delicate.
