Thumbs up or down? Considerations?
It's ok but I wouldn't use it myself. It's a bit too different for my liking. How about Shona?
Thumbs down from me, sorry 
Reminds me too much of the awful band the Ramones
reminds me of the book "Ramona the pest"
i don't like it...
I really like it.
...Wouldn't use it if I already had a daughter named Beatrice though.

I always think of 'Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion' when I hear the name
Couldn't tell you why

Not keen. Especially with the Australian accent.
I love this name and always have but I wouldnt be brave enough to use it
No it doesn't work for me.
Kinda funky - I think Maggie Gyllenhalls bub is Ramona.
I wouldn't use it myself though

Not a fan
I like it. Strong but still feminine.
I don't like it at all
Not my style sorry.
Wow can't believe so many people dislike this name!
I'll put my hand up and say I love it.
I think it has good connotations for me - reminds me of the Throwing Muses album which I loved in the uni days. Yes I am OLD.

Ditto.
It I also find it a bit too masculine for a girls name.
Awful. It has the word Moan in it...We knew a Ramona and that's all the woman ever did!
I totally agree with LynnyP here!

Beware. The teenager I went to school with, got Mona the groaner, particulary from the boys! IYKWIM?
Thumbs down here too I'm afraid.
"Ramona Quimbley, Age Eight" by Beverly Cleary
I wouldn't use it.
I also think of Ramona the Pest.
A little different - I knew someone named Romana - its a character from the old Dr Whos. Her name was quite often shortened to Marnie.
Love it.
I don't like the nn Mona though...but 'Mo' is sweet.

I always think of "Ramona the Brave" by Beverly Cleary when I hear the name Ramona. I remember reading that when I was a kid.
I don't dislike the name.
Cheers,
Deanne.
