Comments for the name Renata

This is a gem of a name. I wish I was called Renata.

Famous bearer is soprano, Renata Tebaldi.

Famous bearer: Renata Lagmanová is Czech Miss 2006.

Regina and Renata Greenleaf are the twins in David Eddings's book Regina's song.

I came from an Italian family and I was named after Renata Tebaldi. Oh, and an interesting fact: Renata is one of the most popular names registered in Brazil in the late 70's / early 80's.

I really like the name. I think it's pretty.

Renata Linguini is the name of Linguini's mother in the Pixar movie Ratatouille.

I have never heard of an English-speaking person having this name, but I like it. Considering it means "re-born" or "born-again" I'm surprised that more people don't have it what with all the evangelicals in this country.

A 'short' form of Renata is "Renia".

Renata Volturi is one of the Volturi guard in the Twilight novels. She, like all Volturi, has a special power - she can mentally repel people that cross her path.

This is a beautiful name. I love the way it rolls off the tongue, and I love the meaning "born again." And the fact it isn't popular doesn't hurt either!

In Woody Allen's "Interiors" (1978), Diane Keaton's character is called Renata. Since this is my name (but I'm from Brazil and it's really popular here) and since I'm a huge fan of his work, I wonder why he decided to give such an unusual name for the character. Usually, in English-speaking countries, Renée is the most popular variant.

In an episode of the American sitcom "Frasier", Frasier unexpectedly has to babysit his date's bratty teenage daughter named Renata. The episode is called "Can't Buy Me Love".
