Comments for the name Ramona

There is a book series for little girls by Beverly Cleary with a heroine named Ramona. I used to adore those books when I was a little girl, so I am endeared to this name and find it very cute, even though most people I know find it ugly.

Avril Ramona Lavigne is the full name of famous singer Avril Lavigne.

"Ramona" is a name also used in Italy.

The male form "Ramon" is very rare in Romania, but Ramona is amongst the most common names of Romanian women.

Ramona Ramirez is the Spanish au pair/nanny in the British TV-series "Cold Feet".

Maggie Gyllenhaal has just named her daughter Ramona.

Loved this name since my childhood. Ramona Quimby was my favorite series of books. It is a strong sounding girl name and I think it is cute.

The name Ramona means "Protector". I think the name is so cute!

It's definitely very used in Romania. [noted -ed]

It is curious how the same name has different perceptions in different cultures. I'm from Spain and here Ramona is mostly regarded as a lame, ugly name. If you think of a Ramona, you can but picture an old peasant woman living in some lost village. It is dated now and nobody calls their daughter Ramona anymore - thank God!

I think Ramona is an incredibly beautiful name! I have a friend who has a friend that is called Ramona. Ramona is very elegant and unusual. I highly recommend it!

It's such a horrible name that I can't even find a word to describe how horrible it is.

Actors Peter Sarsgaard & Maggie Gyllenhaal have a daughter Ramona Sarsgaard, born 3th October, 2006 in New York City.

It makes me think of an annoying, loud-mouthed woman with dark eyes, dark, curly hair, and trashy clothes. It also sounds like the name some hardcore Ramones fans would give their daughter.

Tre Cool , the drummer for the punk band Green Day, named his daughter this.

"To Ramona" is a song by Bob Dylan from his 1964 album "Another Side of Bob Dylan".

May also be spelt Romona. I believe this is the Italian or German spelling. Pronounced (Ro-mo-na).

A German or Italian spelling of Ramona doesn't exist. There's just Ramona.

What a nice name!

What a gorgeous name!

I hate the 'moan' sound in Ramona. So unattractive.

I originally hated this name when I read "Ramona And Beezus" but as I grew older, the name grew on me.
I've never met a Ramona; and I love the sound of it. It also kind of reminds me of Ramona Flowers (of Scott Pilgrim.) Spunky and smart. It's a lovely name, in my opinion.

I associate Ramona first and foremost with the Helen Hunt Jackson novel of the same name rather than Ramona Quimby of the children's books. I really like the name, I feel it is strong yet undoubtedly feminine.

Ramona Victoria Flowers, one of the protagonists in the Scott Pilgrim series. Portrayed by Mary Elizabeth Winstead in the movie.

Avril Lavigne's full name is Avril Ramona Lavigne.

Ramona Marquez is a British child actress. She plays Karen in the series Outnumbered.

Ramona is an adorable name! We all got it from the Ramona books. If you wanted to, you could name a child Ramona and nickname her " Mona" after the Mona Lisa! Ramona sounds like a name that belongs to a kind girl too!

Wow, seems like a lot of people don't like this name. I personally think its adorable and sweet, and I predict it making a comeback in the next few years.
