glimster, Now that you've revealed Ramona...here is more info from the secret universe of names book. RMN's have a zest for stimulation, love the outdoors! Are adventurers who love to travel. Yet they never stray too far form their emotinal nests. They are tightly bound to their loved ones!
In their careers they are natural educators and coaches. They have a childlike sense of wonder!

If that doesn't hit the nail on the head, nothing does!
zest of stimulation
love outdoors
adventurous, love travel, yet NEVER STRAY far from emotional nest
tightly bound to loved ones
natural educator
childlike sense of wonder

This probably covers so many people, but it sure does describe me.

Hey Gimster,
I love that name; Ramona. Have you read the children's books character Ramona Quimby? She's a fun character.

We have a great book, The Secret Universe of Names by Roy Felinson.




That sounds like a great book. I'll have to check it out. What does it say about the name "Pam"?

Isn't it funny how everyone has a different feeling about a name? I LOVE the name Ramona! And I agree with Laurel...the Ramona books, by Beverly Cleary, were wonderful! I always read them with my daughter when she was little.

I go by "Mona"...which is a shorter version of the full, which I hate with a passion! Mona is not so bad.




I knew of a family that named their daughters, Mona and Lisa. Yes, it was deliberate by the parents.

I have a set of cousins in 1 family, where out of 5 daughters, 3 were named Pauline, Arlene and Marlene.

Well, I'm warming up to the name...
NOT! OK, maybe a tid. I like what mercy's book had to say about RMN's, too, Eagle. But, it might just be emotional wishing on my part. Are you going to have her look up Sharon? Mercy, how do you look something up, by the full name or by just the consonants in a name?
I am familiar with the Cleary series. Our girls read them and, I've gotta say, I got ribbed because of Cleary's characterization. They could help but poke fun - like their father! Pam (I have a sister named Pamela), can't wait to see what Mercy has to report on that name. I'd like to compare it to how I feel about my sister.

Ramona sounds just fine to me. There's a town not too far from here called Ramona.

I have to say, I really hate some of the girl names from the past 10 years. Taylor??? Hunter??? What's next, Butcher? I really don't understand why parents purposely give their kids ugly names, or names that no one can pronounce or spell.

not being able to spell a name comes in handy if you get stoped by the police lol just thinking aloud lol...

dose anyone know how long it takes for a name to come into fashion, be everywear then diea down....i get confused when every second kids called by the same name and they are all 2 yrs old and it turns out to be something as insperasional as a new caricter out or eastenders ( a TV soap)

I like RMA its got caricter and unique in a good way and it feels nice in your mouth when you say it.

MERCY09 do you know what michelle means or dose anyone else for that matter. Either no one knew or botherd to tell me at home lol with all the meanings i was just getting curiouse
