Ramona

[LittleMissLidl]

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]

i think of this

I love it btw

[cupofteaplease]

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
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]

I absolutely adore Ramona

[FingersCrossedLegsNot]

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

[KelleStar]

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

[Bue]

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

[ForFoxsGlacierMints]

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

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]

Adore it but dh said no way.. grumbles

[KittenOfDoom]

Not all moaning is bad

[marthabear]

Fantastic name. My DH vetoed it too though.

[nectarini1983]

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]

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]

Lovely

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]

I love it too!

[birdofthenorth]

Lovely.

[NowPlayingZone]

Lover it, love it, love it!

[LittleMissLidl]

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?

[SoulTrain]

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

[SanityClause]

I loved those books! Yes! Go for it!

[PipkinsPal]

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

[NaturalBlondeYeahRight]

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