[Opinions] Re: Rhonda
in reply to a message by Marie
I knew a child Rhonda, a childhood friend of my daughter's. She would be a child no longer at this time---she must be approximately thirty years old now, but when I knew her, she was a child of about eight or nine years of age, so I guess that's why I don't have the difficulty some others are having picturing a child Rhonda. I've known two other Rhondas---one was young, in her early twenties, when I knew her and must be in her early fifties now. The other one is a middle-aged woman and I've only known her as such. She's in her late fifties, but she's not fat or hairy!As for my opinion of the name, I agree it's dated and I just don't care for it much---no imagery of a middle-aged, fat, hairy woman, but I just find the sound unattractive. Rather harsh.

I find the sound harsh too. I don't picture a hairy or fat middle-aged woman, just a middle-aged woman. I've never met any child Rhonda's so that's why it's hard for me to picture it on a little girl.
