Mona

[notplayers]

I really love this name; old fashioned, not too popular and not too flowery. DH on the fence, so thought I'd canvas opinions on here.

Don't like it, it sounds like the word moan.

I don't like it either - we had a nosey neighbour called Mona when I was a kid. I remember her vividly - rollers and hairnet (think Hilda Ogden). Sorry!

Yeah I just think 'what a moaner'. How about Winja?

it sounds horrible like 'moaner' - one old lady name definitely not due for a revival, sorry.

I think of a cartoon I watched as a kid. Mona the vampire. don't like the name but thanks for making me smile.

'Moaner'. Sorry.

How about Fiona?

Okay, seems unanimous. Back to the drawing board

Moan sorry

I used to work with a Mona she was very Welsh and a great character so I link her with the name. I like it.

I bets Monas get pervy types asking them if they like to moan.

I prefer ramona, and have it on a list, dh not keen.
I loved the books as a child

Mona the Vampire, Mona from Friends, or a moaner...

Not the name I would pick.

I love it, it was my grandmother's name. Very Manx.

I like Ramona though.

It makes me think of that song by the curly haired guy who played Charlene's brother in neighbours.

Heeeeey Mona, ooooh Mona.

Ramona nn Mona would be nice.

Moaner is just asking for some awkward teenage taunting.

Is Mona the Vampire still on kids TV?

I had a landlord whose wife was called Mona, and referred to her as "The Moan."

No idea what she called him, but I suspect it was something equally unflattering; they didn't seem to like each other.....

No sorry. There's nothing pretty about it. However in this day and age it's certainly different.

What about Mina ?

If she could be Ramona at school, it would help, I think. My ds has a full name for school (which teachers and friends call him) and we call him by a nickname.

NotFlowers - I am biased but Ramona is a fab name to consider. Lots of nickname potential, including Mona if you want, but great as a name in its own too. Feisty, unfussy, unusual but not unknown and just gorgeous. What more could you possibly want?
