My name is RaMona--yes the M is capitalized. Most people spell it wrong anyway. I love my name'since I have met only three women with the'same name and none of them spell it like I do. The funniest thing is that when I am on the phone and say hello this is RaMona, people respond Hi Amanda❤️!❤️!!❤️ Maybe it is my southern accent.

Hi, My name is Ramona Lisa. I love my name. In school I went by Ramona until the 5th grade. Because they kept calling mr reemona and it drove me crazy. The 6th grade on I just told them to call me Mona it was so easier. It didn't matter cause my family and friends know me by Mona. It's like willI'm....but you say bill or Billy Mona is short for Ramona.

People often spell my name Romona or Romana. Both incorrect. I love my name though I haven't always and most of my life i've been called Mona. I introduce myself as Ramona as its my formal given name. I was named after a character on the 76 miniseries "Rich Man, Poor Man."

My name is often misspelled as "Romana" or "Remona" or "Romona." Throughout my life, people over the telephone assume that I am of Mexican or Spanish descent, yet the name's origin is Teutonic. i've never liked the name for myself because It's too flamboyant and does not describe me. I have met many people with this name in various states in the USA. i've never met anyone with this name in Europe.

I think It's a hideous name. One of the worst names ever. It is child abuse to name a girl Ramona. I have thought about legally changing my name but it would hurt my mother. In grade school I was called Monie but later changed it to Mona. i've also been called Mo or Moan.

My name is Ramona and I love it more and more each year that goes by. I'm 40 years old now & have only met a couple of Ramona's in my lifetime. It's nice to see that'some of you share the'same name and have come here. When I was a little girl, my nick name was Monie. I loved being called Monie & was only called Ramona at school or when my Mother was mad at me! "Ramona Joy"...I love the meaning of the name too. "Wise Protectress" that'suits me. So does the'song, "To Ramona" by Bob Dylan. Being a Springsteen fan, and Dylan being a musical influence for him makes it all come together in some fashion!

Hi, my name is Ramona and I'm a Ramona!! This is cute! I had no idea that'such things exsisted! I love my name! I don't think I ever liked being called Mona when I was younger....I didn't think It'sounded as nice. But, now (40) as a professional, I find it much more simple. It's easier to remember and spell. I don't hide my real name... Ramona Lea...just use the nickname more these days. ;) It's sweet...totally cool that there are so many othe's! :)

My name is Ramona, spelled Romona on my birth certificate. I personally changed the o to an "A". Other names i am called are Moni, Mona, Mona Love, Mona Lisa,Romona. I love my name. Other people tend to spell it with an "O". I haven't met but a few in my life time(46) with the'same name.

I also spell my name, RaMona, with the M capitalized. The name has always sounded foreign to my ears and I have gone by either Mona or Myna since childhood. Only the elders in the family still call me RaMona and It'still sounds as foreign to my ear as it always has. I do like the name as a middle name, however, and wish it were my middle name rather than first. The name rings beautifully adjoined with a name in front of it. I do like the meaning as "Wise Protectess" and as a few people have shared here, every woman I have met also with the name is, indeed, very unique, creative and strong. In my life, I have met perhaps 4 Ramonas and two actual Monas. All of them entirely unique individuals.

My mother was going to name me 'Ruth' but, for some reason, my cousin made a quick save and gave her the idea to name me this name instead. I'm eternally grateful to her. I really can't see myself as a 'Ruth' ...and all the candy bar jokes that would have come up.. I have always wondered how quirky we all are. My experience in meeting people with our name is that we're all strong willed individuals who stand up against stuff that's wrong when we see it. Thus living up to the meaning of 'wise protectress'. Has anyone else had this experience❤️ Myself, and all the othe's i've met also certainly stand out in a crowd. Heck, 'unique' doesn't even begin to cover it. Really nice people though, each and every one, and all with hearts of gold.

My name is Ramona, and like many othe's on this list, I do not like it to be misspelled. My family, especially the children, call me Mony. My Father loved the'song (with a photo of Dolores del Rio as Ramona on the'sheet music. He named his first daughter after his mother, then he was able to name me whatever he wanted. I love the name and have known its meaning for many years. And like most Ramonas I am protective of those I love. I have met only two Ramonas in my life. However, I have "Ramona" photos of Polish businesses.

I love my name "Ramona" because it is unique but not so unusual. Growing up, I was called "Monie" by family and friends. However, I prefer my full name used by work and casual associates. I didn't meet another Ramona until I was in junior high. i've met several since, but am always pleasantly surprised when I do. I feel my name reflects stren'th and something outside the norm that is intriguing.

I never liked it when a young lass, as I didn't know what the heck to think of it, but as I grew up I became to like it and accept it. Many people see it as a romantic name and if they have never met me like to imagine me as dressed in flowing dresses, and long hair. So soft and sweet. People do mispell It'soemtimes but it comes with the territory. I never meet anyone with the'same name which is ok as I like it being unique. :)

My mother wanted to name me Edith (yuck) and my dad wanted to name me Ruth, since they couldn't compromise they got so mad they just decided to give me their name. My first name Ramona is my mothe's middle name, and my middle name is my dads name. I love my name Ramona it is mature but not grandmaish.

I was named Ramona after the'song that came out in the 1930's. My mother loved the name. There also is a book about Ramona the indian girl who fell in love with the Mexican boy. A big love story in that era. I love my name and most people do misspell it. I cringe when I see Ramona spelled Romona. Phonetically it is wrong. My nick name to family and old friends is Monie and all through high school I went by Mona. Then I grew into my name and love it. It is more formal than Mona and is great for business. No one ever confuses me with someone else. All the Ramona's should meet and have a big party to meet one another. I have only met two other Ramona's in my lifetime.
