[Opinions] Roni
What do you think of Roni for a girl? I think it's really pretty. I love its Hebrew meaning. I read it was quite common in Israel (top 10 if I remember correctly).Do you pronounce it like Ronny or do you say RO-nee? Any idea how it's pronounced in Hebrew?Do you think it should be used as a nickname only? Or could it stand alone? How do you like Ronia as a full name for it? Or maybe Ronya or Ronja? Apparently Ronia and Roniya are Hebrew names as well.Otherwise...Veronica nn Roni? Anything else it could be short for?It seems to be unisex in Israel. Do you see it more as a boys or girls name?

I love this name for a girl but not a boy. If it were short for Veronica that would be lovely. I knew a woman named Ronni and she was so nice and beautiful; that's probably why I like it. There's also a love song called "Ronni" by the Four Seasons and it's about a girl, if that helps you justify it :)

Reminds me of Rice-a-roni and I pronounced it RO-nee. NMS.

I agree. I typically like Hebrew names but I don't like this one. It reminds me of rice-a-roni and macaroni. Besides that, if it is pronounced Ronny, then it is just too masculine sounding to me. On top of that, I don't even like Ronny on a boy!

I've only known one person with that name, a man whose father was Israeli. I think it's a little too masculine for a girl because of that. He pronounces it like Ronny as far as I know.

I prn it ROH-nee (according to the comments section, roh-nee is the Hebrew prn), but I must say that I dislike the name however it's prn.It could stand alone, I suppose, but I prefer it as a nn for Ronia. If it were a nn for Veronia I'd prn it RAH-nee.I see it as more of a girl's name, possibly because Roni is also a nn for Veronica, possibly because it looks like a feminization of Ronnie.
