TIA

It makes me think of my wonderful Aunt Rona who had a fantastically glam lifestyle and was my dad's favourite auntie. Thank you for a nice memory!

I'm sorry, but it's beyond awful.

JimmyMcNulty · 09/02/2009 16:02

I like it, but then I have a lovely friend called Rhona so it has nice connotations

Mummyfor3 · 09/02/2009 16:24

strangely, I do not like Rhona, but really fance the sound/look of Rona ...

JimmyMcNulty · 09/02/2009 16:27

JimmyMcNulty · 09/02/2009 19:19

Any more? I can't help really liking it, but maybe I'm biased because my gran is so lovely. Have a feeling dh won't be keen though.

i am not a fan ! lol

Weegiemum · 10/02/2009 00:54

I love it - almost called dd2 Rhona.

Depends if you are in Scotland I expect - fairly common here I think, less so elsewhere.

PottyCock · 10/02/2009 07:26

I really like it - also have a cousin called Rhona and she is anything but a jakey!!

Happymum2be · 11/02/2009 10:20

Its my name but I use my middle name instead. I hate the name, its on my passport, medical notes etc and I cringe everytime I hear it. Just my opinion but I think its an ugly name, its Irish in my case. Am constantly told I don't suit it. I would wait to see when your baby is born, choose a couple and see which suits best.

schneebly · 11/02/2009 10:23

pretty popular where I come from in Scotland and not 'jakey' at all.
