The only worry I have is that our surmane is 0wen, so not sure if Ram0na 0wen sounds a bit '0'-ey....

Love it

ArabellaBeaumaris · 22/05/2013 21:45

It's a great name, & goes really nicely with your other DC (not that I think that sibling names have to "match").

(I have a little G too)

I have to look up Ramona Quimby now! and to my shame I don't know any Ramones songs off the top of my head!

So if we love M@rth@ and gret@ and Ramona, what boy's names should we also like?!

At a total loss for boys names.

Ramona the Pest! I loved the books as a kid. Ramona was 'unique' to say the least.

I love Ramona Quimby!

EasterHoliday · 22/05/2013 21:41

absolutely LOVE it. Probably because it makes me think of the Ramones...
best name I've seen spouted round here.

Ragusa · 22/05/2013 21:41

Oh that's a really lovely name....unusual without being try-hard.

Makes me think of Ramona Quimby (?), from the books. Not sure if she is a positive role model or not, as I have never read them! Also makes me think of the Ramones.

oooh good, my mum's response was that she'll be nicknamed moany... nice to have some positive responses!

Have no idea for a boys name though.

I love it too.

I love the name Ramona (I realised I liked it after watching Scott Pilgrim, and hearing this on the soundtrack

RubyrooUK · 22/05/2013 21:30

I love it.

I only make boys personally but it would be my number one girl's name in a parallel universe. I'm not sure Ramona is so good for a boy. Grin
