Yay? Nay?

Do you know any?

(I have another thread going, but just wanted to see if anyone had any opinions on this name in particular as it’s a new addition to our list).

I love it- I always have. There was a children’s fictional Ramona when I was young and there’s the song by Bob Dylan.

Makes me think of Cold Feet but nice name actually. Not too common but not way out

Singer stinger! Old lady name.

MarthasGinYard · 14/10/2018 21:43

Love it

Playdonut · 14/10/2018 21:47

No, it has moaner in it!

Ohyesiam · 14/10/2018 21:47

Gorgeous. I’ve never known a Ramona who doesn’t kick arse, with loads of charm.

BertramKibbler · 14/10/2018 21:47

In current times I’d worry about the similarities to Remoaner but I don’t know how long that term will be round for

Cold Feet nostalgia! :)

Sorry from when DD was little...

No. Remainer/remoaner/moaner.

Yay. Ramona rocks.

QueenCity · 14/10/2018 21:57

Doctor Who!

I'd love a Ramona. I very much enjoyed the Beverly Cleary books as a kid.

(I'm now thinking of blue oatmeal, and not-boiled eggs, and sitting here for the present, all while lit by a Dawnzer)

Love Ramona.

By the time she would be in school all this Brexit stuff will be long gone anyway.

elpth · 14/10/2018 22:39

I loved the Ramona books and it made me think wow great name when I met a little girl called Ramona. She is totally fab which obviously makes me love the name more.

Viviviolet · 14/10/2018 22:48

Love it! No one could be called Eamona and not be cool

Viviviolet · 14/10/2018 22:48

Ramona, could definitely be uncool with Eamona

Poisondartfrog · 14/10/2018 23:09

QueenCity I’ve a feeling Dr Who one was Romana.

ILoveDaveGrohl · 14/10/2018 23:31

The only Ramona I know it's 40+ and German. She's a very nice lady though

PineappleTart · 14/10/2018 23:46

Love it. Also Ramona from Scott Pilgrim

Picknickers · 14/10/2018 23:47

The only thing that puts me off is how will people shorten it? Rammy? Moaner?

Surf4life · 15/10/2018 00:43

LOL, it just makes me think of David in Cold Feet screeching "Rooooomana! Grin

It is a nice name though!

DramaAlpaca · 15/10/2018 00:44

Not my style of name.
