Ronald?

[Witchofzog]

I have just seen a link on that other site regarding unpopular baby names including Ronald. But I love it! Ronnie for short. I am not pregnant nor likely to be, but would you name your baby boy Ronald?

Absolutely not. I think it's a horrible name.

no, it reminds me too much of Ronald Mcdonald or Ron Weasly from harry potter

NO.

Although I kind of like it. It is almost a really good name.

I prefer Donald.
Ranald.
Raoul
Raul

No.

My first thought is Mcdonald. Second thought is its just horrible.

If you want to call your child Ronnie (and it's a bit 'Krays' tbh, I don't like it, same for Reggie funnily enough!) then you have to just call him Ronnie.

If you're Irish or Scottish, what about Raghnall which is just less happy meal.

Donald? As in Trump?

Raoul? As in Moat?

Just me then

I like it, but i’m biased because I had a lovely uncle called Ronald.

I've a 4yr old Ronnie, my grandad was Ronald, which I didnt like but we love Ronnie. There is also another Ronnie at school but hes actually Ronald. I love his name and get a fair few compliments.

What about Donnie?

I think that sounds less ridiculous somehow.

there are loads of Ronnies. and Reggies.
people don't seem keen on the full versions these days.

read about the decline of Nigels the other day - I actually really like that!

Donnie reminds me of New Kids on The Block. I don't like Donald or Raol. But I still like Ronald

Raoul as in Moat? Dr Seuss?

I know Donald is Trump but there are enough others out there.

Update, I just googled Moat. Blimey.

My dog is called Ronald 😁

There’s a Ronnie in my son’s class. It’s better than Ronald.

I know a toddler Ronnie, who is such on his certificate.
I guess his parents weren’t keen on the full name.

I have a cat called Ronald (Ron)

There's a St Rognvald, he was a great poet.

Ronnie is my cat’s name!
Like Ronnie... hate Ronald.

I know a Scottish toddler called Ranald. It really suits him.

Ronnie is cute, too.

I do quite like it, but in all honesty it DOES remind me of Ronald Weasley. I s'pose once I was reminded, it reminded me of Ronald McDonald... I love the nn Ronnie though!

All I can hear is ‘RONALD WEASLEY!’ in Mrs Weasley’s voice when she sends the howler.

I love it ❤️
