It's an old-fashioned name here in France, but I like it anyway. I'd love to meet a young Raymonde.

Nice name if you speak French. If not, it looks like a deniable case of naming a girl a stereotypical guyname. Like naming her Arnolde or Howarde.

I don't like it. I'm not really sure why. I have a brother named Raymond, and adding an 'e' to the end to make it feminine kind of feels a bit too arbitrary. I much prefer Ramona, which is actually quite nice.

I love it! :) That's the name we chose for our baby (if it had been a girl). I like it, because it's uncommon (in french speaking areas it's quite old fashioned and there are no young people called like this), it sounds elegant, but not too girly and I like Rémi as a NN.

It's not too bad. Raymond as the full name is a bit stuffy, but Ray is a friendly, talkative middle-aged guy with a slight paunch who can fix or build anything; Ray is a good guy to have around in an emergency.
