Ramona

[sillyoldfool]

A sister for M@rth@ and Gret@?
Will she be forever called moany mona?!

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.

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

I love it too.

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.

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.

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

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

I love Ramona Quimby!

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

I love Ramona

Love it. DH didn't

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.

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)

Love it

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

Amos
Sam
Ezra
Robert
Solomon
Freddie
Magnus
John

that's mine & DP's boys name - never managed to agree on one, lucky we had girls!

my friend is called Romana ,i like both of the names

I LOVE Ezra, but DH doesn't, Solomon and Amos are really nice...
hmmmmm

We've had a boy's name both previous pregnancies and I've gone off both of them!

I just really struggle with boy's names, I like solid but a bit unusual.

I sort of see what you mean about the preponderance of Os but it wouldn't worry me overly. Will she have a middle name as well?

I love Ramona because of the books!

I don't see how you could top Gret@ though, just dreamy.

I like it but....

feel it has to be pronounced with rolling rs a la Rrrrrrrrramoooona.

Don't know why. Think there was a character in cold feet - the nanny - who was called rrrrramona and was spanish.

Just another thought- you'd have three children ending in 'a' sound then too...

What about Romy or Romilly?

Or carry on in the SOM vein and have Brigitta?

Joymachine, I do love g's name.

She will have 2 middle names... That's a whole other topic, our girls each have a 'normal' middle name, then a slightly crazy hippy one, so we can't now call the 3rd something louise owen or similar!!!!!
