Dated, but more a middle-aged woman's name than an old woman's name.

I like it a little bit, probably because I once knew an attractive girl named Rhonda. OK, well, actually she was someone my husband found attractive. But that didn't ruin the name for me. She still was nice-looking, and had a pleasant personality....

I really like it; but then I really like the song ... maybe with Barbara Ann as mns?

I don't like Rhonda, at all. I find it quite harsh and it reminds me of 'rhombus' for some reason.

Lose the 'd' and make it Rhona. Much nicer!

I've only met a couple Rhondas, but they were both very large women. So I can't help but think a Rhonda would be heavyset and intimidating.

Dated ... not the greatest comeback name at the moment.

Dated and fugly, I'm afraid. Makes me think of the 70s.

Dated. It's too masculine sounding to me, also. I think I prefer Rhoda, but I don't like either of them especially.

Help me, Rhonda!

Yeah, I pretty much just get that song in my head when I see it.

I honestly think Rhonda is one of the ugliest female names there is. I dislike the "ron" sound, and the -nda part seems heavy and awkward. You know the character Big Rhonda from That 70's Show? Very close to the image I get from that name. And yes, it also feels quite dated.

It's better than Rhoda, but I just can't say that I like it. It seems pretty dated. But the only Rhonda I ever knew was a childhood friend of my daughter's, who was a child when I knew her, but would now be in her late twenties. Meaning she was born in the early 80's, while Rhonda just feels like a 50's name to me.

Anyways, I just don't like it much. The sound is not appealing to me.
