I don't like it but I don't hate it - I don't like the sound it for some reason. It reminds me of groaning. There's something not quite right about it but I can't quite put my finger on what. I don't think it's nice sounding? I'm really confused, the more I type the more confused I'm getting 😂 this name has really thrown me! On the one hand my first thought was "groaning" and "moaner" but then I thought "but I like the name Ramona" so it's silly that I'd dislike Rhona for those reasons... It's a bit meh. I don't like it. But I don't have a strong dislike. It's not pretty but it's nothing awful either - it's not tacky or OTT or cringeworthy. So it's not awful. It's just not lovely.

I like it, but then I know a few Rhonas and a couple of Rhodas too.

MikeUniformMike · 28/12/2018 12:32

Prefer Rona.

babyarz · 28/12/2018 12:36

I like it x

Youcancallmeval · 28/12/2018 12:37

Horrible!

CrookedMe · 28/12/2018 12:41

The two Rhona's I know are both middle aged fake tanned chain smokers. I think it's a bit of a 'glam granny' type name - at least round here it seems to be.

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 28/12/2018 12:43

Awful.

Phebes · 28/12/2018 17:18

Hate, sorry. I know a little Runa though, which I quite like.

Santaissleepingoffmincepies · 28/12/2018 17:21

I have a very similar name.
On behalf of your precious dc - please don't do it.

TheRedFox · 28/12/2018 17:24

I don't hate it but I don't love it either. Just when I think I might like it I think of Rhona the Moaner...

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 28/12/2018 17:24

Hadn’t thought if it before.

I like it.

MikeUniformMike · 28/12/2018 18:13

How about Rhoda or Rhonda?

Santaissleepingoffmincepies · 28/12/2018 18:14

Mine has been mentioned!! Please don't!!

MikeUniformMike · 28/12/2018 18:18

You're Rhonda aren't you. You don't have to answer.I think it's nice.

ballsdeep · 28/12/2018 18:20

Oooooo Ooo moaner

Rhona the moaner

Santaissleepingoffmincepies · 28/12/2018 18:26

Even my dc hate it!! And dh never uses it!!

tablelegs · 28/12/2018 19:02

Sorry it's awful.

sunshine1987 · 28/12/2018 19:04

As a Rhona I would say they growing up the fact it rhymed with loaner/moaner and stoner was annoying and no one ever spells it right. Having said that, I love my name now as an adult. I’m also not a ‘middle aged fake tanned chain smoker’ 🤷🏻‍♀️

Didyeeaye · 28/12/2018 21:56

Love it my best friend is called Rona. She really suits her name, is musical, quirky and a bit bohemian

NooMe · 28/12/2018 23:06

Hideous.
