Rhonda
What do you think of Rhonda? Dated? Ready for a comeback?

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

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

DittoThere was a character in That '70s Show called Rhonda. I think of her when I hear the name.

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.
