Ramona

daisypond · 31/12/2018 17:09

I'm not wildly keen on any, I'm afraid. I like Briony best.

IVflytrap · 31/12/2018 16:29

*Bri ony (that spelling), I mean. My phone keeps autocorrecting it to Bryony.

IVflytrap · 31/12/2018 16:28

Bryony is my favourite. Followed by Ramona, Harriet and Norah, in that order. None of them are bad names, in my opinion.

MyDcAreMarvel · 31/12/2018 15:51

Love Harriet don’t like the others.

Pieceofpurplesky · 31/12/2018 15:50

I do like Romy though

Pieceofpurplesky · 31/12/2018 15:49

I love Norah and Harriet. Briony is quite a common name in the school I work (as in lots of). I don't like Ramona it's a bit too 80s rock chick.

I also like Hetty instead of Harriet

Yulebealrite · 31/12/2018 15:43

Briony.
Ramona is the spanish nanny in cold feet. Thats all that came to mind when i read that. Didn't think of Nora Batty when I read that. Probably because the spelling is better.

Shadow1234 · 31/12/2018 15:39

Briony would be my first choice, followed by Harriet. Not keen on others tbh.

Sophronia · 31/12/2018 12:24

Ramona

NooMe · 31/12/2018 11:34

Ramona 100%. There's no contest.

GemmeFatale · 31/12/2018 11:28

I like Briony or Norah

Harriet seems very popular round our way

Ramona doesn’t seem to fit with the vibe of the other names on your list

katekat383 · 31/12/2018 11:20

Harriet

Sarahandduck18 · 31/12/2018 11:18

Don’t like any of them but Norah is the nicest.

Jazzhan · 31/12/2018 11:17

Harriet for me.

Santababyclaus · 31/12/2018 11:09

Briony

GoldenSyrupLion · 31/12/2018 11:07

Briony.

JaffaBiscuitNotCake · 31/12/2018 11:06

Isn't Ramona a bit Remoaner-like for this year?

Yep, was about to post the same.

I like Harriet best

singingismypassion · 31/12/2018 11:03

I love Harriet but dislike the other names

Phebes · 31/12/2018 10:44

Briony! Not common but familiar, and strong and pretty.

MikeUniformMike · 31/12/2018 10:39

Isn't Ramona a bit Remoaner-like for this year?

MikeUniformMike · 31/12/2018 10:38

Harriet or Ramona, in that order. Briony is too Briany, and Norah isn't very nice.

Youcancallmeval · 31/12/2018 09:59

I only like Harriet.

CakeRattleandRoll · 31/12/2018 09:12

My favourite is Norah, and prefer it with the 'h'. Next would be Harriet.

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 31/12/2018 09:07

Intensely dislike Norah, not wild about Ramona.

Me too. I would choose Harriet OP.
