Help[Opinions] Re: Mona
in reply to a message by Array
1. What do you think of the name Mona? - It's not a huge favorite, but I do like it. Mainly because I have an old friend by that name (well, Ramona Camille nn Mona).
2. Do you have any suggestions for middle names? Nothing like Mona Juliet or Mona Katherine, please--uber-common names don't interest me. - Mona Camille, Mona Lisbet (or another Scandinavian name)
3. Do you prefer Mona or Ramona? (I probably wouldn't use Mona as a nn for Ramona--I'd be more likely to use Rona.) - I like Ramona with Mona as a nn. Ramona also reminds me of the character from the children's books, which is a good association for me. :)
4. Does the name bring any particularly strong images to mind? - Ramona Quinby, age 8 (see above)
5. Does the name sound too dated to you? (If you say yes, that'll be a selling point for me, heh.) - Dated yes, but not too much so. But I loved "dated" names as well. :b
ETA: Mona also makes me think of Mona Lisa, another good association, but also the mother on "Who's The Boss?" who was annoying imo. LOL. There's also the "Moaning Mona" thing that most kids, or at least teens, would pick up on. But not necessarily a reason not to use it imo.
