Full name for Ron

69 replies

Hi there, we've settled on Ron (Rony, Ronnie) as the name for our son but I want a full name. He'll be British/Slavic/Greek origin.
So far I've got
Ronald (Mc Donald?)
Ronan (too Irish?)
Myron (rhymes with Moron?)
Cameron (meh)
Roland (like the name but don't think it can be shorten to Ron)

I don't want to use Ron as a full name as culturally in Slavic countries you should have a full name. Any thoughts and ideas would be massively appreciated. Thank you!

What would you do with Ivy, it’s only 3 letters but an entire name - how would you get round that?

"Ives".

Oberon.

But whatever you call him, people will assume it's short for Ronald, so you should probably call him that.

If Ron is the name you like, just use Ron. I don’t get having to give him a horrible long name just because you think there is some arbitrary rule that you have to have a “full” name.

Although Ronseal is nice.Grin

She wants to honour his heritage, it's not some arbitrary rule.

Yes it is though.Confused

I hereby decree that Ron is a full name even in Slavic countries.

There. It’s written down now so it must be true.

Sk1nnyB1tch · 07/09/2020 09:51

I think Ronald is best for Ron.
Ronan is pronounced Row(your boat) nin.
So it doesn't automatically shorted to Ron, much more common to become Ronie.

I like Byron I taught a Boy called Byron and thought it was a lovely name . I also like Aaron Ronan and Roman . It's up to you how you shorten it . I think any rules on names went out long ago ! Think of some of the ridiculous names you hear !

BabyLlamaZen · 07/09/2020 14:00

Ronald is lovely and due a comeback.

unmarkedbythat · 07/09/2020 14:10

Has to be Ronald, really, I think.

I googled out of interest and "Rögnvaldr" is my new favourite name :)

Wheresthebiffer2 · 07/09/2020 14:16

Ronald
My child is unaware of the first name of the original owner of McDonalds, so there is absolutely no association for her (or me, or her friends) of Ron or Ronald with the burger and chips franchise.

Use Ronald.
