Help[Opinions] Re: Ramona
in reply to a message by Finigan
Ramona's cool. I wouldn't want to use it for a daughter, but if my name was Ramona I wouldn't mind it so much, except for the Ramona Quimby association.
In case you aren't familiar, Ramona Quimby is a character in a series of very, very famous and popular children's books by Beverly Cleary, written from the fifties into the nineties. That's really the main association mos Americans have with the name, though in one of the books, it's mentioned that Ramona has heard grown-ups sing her the song with "Ramona, I hear the mission bells" ..." so often and she's tired of it.
Ramona Quimby's middle name was Geraldine. She did not have a nickname, and I would much rather Ramona just go by Ramona and not Romy or Mona.
I do know one Ramona, and Ramona is her middle name. Her first name is Maria, and all her sisters have the first name Maria and use their middle names. They're Filipino and devoutly Catholic.
Ramona Louise
Ramona Gail
Ramona Ivy
Ramona Joy
Ramona Suzanne
Ramona Paige
My husband's special name for our daughter is Sweet Ramona. Nobody knows where he came up with it, her name is Valerie.
