What I you think? Do you think it's too masculine? I'm not a fan of very frilly or girls names but am worried other people might think it's ugly. I think I might just love it though.

Similar suggestions are welcome.

DD was very nearly called this but we are great shorteners of names and I just couldn't cope with 'Mona' as a nickname. Plus it didn't really suit her. But love it in principle!

GummyAdams · 01/04/2013 22:22

i think of this

I love it btw

cupofteaplease · 31/03/2013 11:28

Love it. I loved the Ramona and Beezus books as a child, my girls now love the film too- tis very good. I had a dd called Beatrice and my girls used to call her Beezus sometimes because of the books Smile
Ramona to me is independent and feisty. Great name!

I think Jane is too plain to go with Ramona. Something a little more dashing or exotic is required.

bootsycollins · 31/03/2013 00:33

I absolutely adore Ramona

FingersCrossedLegsNot · 31/03/2013 00:27

Brilliant name, and I think Ramona Jane would sound fantastic.

KelleStar · 29/03/2013 20:40

Love it, it was on my list for DC2, but we already have a Beezus (Beatrice).

Fabulous name. LOVED the Ramona books. And Maggie Gyllenhall named her daughter this, which makes it cool. Oh, and it's the name of my friend's wonderful little chihuahua Grin

ForFoxsGlacierMints · 29/03/2013 20:29

Really love Ramona! A gorgeous name, strong sounding somehow.

Ham69 · 29/03/2013 19:27

I also think of the nanny from Cold Feet. Loved that programme. I really like it. I do hear 'moaner', though there's always going to be something with a name.

Frikadellen · 29/03/2013 19:19

Adore it but dh said no way.. grumbles

KittenOfDoom · 29/03/2013 14:49

Not all moaning is bad Wink

marthabear · 29/03/2013 11:47

Fantastic name. My DH vetoed it too though.

nectarini1983 · 29/03/2013 09:09

Not fussed....I think what puts me off is the 'mona (....moaner!!!)'. Ramona the moaner?!?! Have you got Latino connections? As that girl from Outnumbered has got a Spanish or Portuguese surname which swings it imo.

FranKatzenjammer · 29/03/2013 08:54

Absolutely love Ramona. YY to Beezus & Ramona, and Ramona Marquez (Karen in Outnumbered). Also the nanny in Cold Feet was a Ramona. Plus don't forget seminal punk band the Ramones! A great name all round.

chickydoo · 28/03/2013 22:45

Lovely

emmyloo2 · 28/03/2013 22:32

I really like it and we have considered it for DD due in 8 weeks. I loved the Ramona books when I was younger. Maggie Gyllenhaal called her first Ramona and is think she is sensational.

Haberdashery · 28/03/2013 21:53

I love it too!

birdofthenorth · 28/03/2013 21:52

Lovely.

NowPlayingZone · 28/03/2013 21:41

Lover it, love it, love it!

Ok, enough now with the loving of Ramona... I don't want it getting too popular. I was a bit scared of the baby names board but now I think you're all lovely.

pipkins I think that was why it was in my mind. Does anyone else search tv credits for baby name ideas?

I love it!!! It's a fantastic name! DH vetoed it though...Hmm

SanityClause · 28/03/2013 21:33

I loved those books! Yes! Go for it!

PipkinsPal · 28/03/2013 21:32

And the little girl who plays Karen in Outnumbered is called Ramona too.

NaturalBlondeYeahRight · 28/03/2013 21:31

Ooooo, haven't heard that name for ages. Love it.
