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.

I love it too!

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.

Lovely

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.

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.

Fantastic name. My DH vetoed it too though.

KittenOfDoom · 29/03/2013 14:49

Not all moaning is bad

Frikadellen · 29/03/2013 19:19

Adore it but dh said no way.. grumbles

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.

ForFoxsGlacierMints · 29/03/2013 20:29

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

Bue · 29/03/2013 20:29

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

KelleStar · 29/03/2013 20:40

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

FingersCrossedLegsNot · 31/03/2013 00:27

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

bootsycollins · 31/03/2013 00:33

I absolutely adore Ramona

KittenOfDoom · 31/03/2013 11:24

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

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
Ramona to me is independent and feisty. Great name!

GummyAdams · 01/04/2013 22:22

i think of this

I love it btw

Exhaustipated · 02/04/2013 11:30

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!
