I just read that Maggie Gyllenhaal and Peter Sarsgaard had a baby girl, and her name is Ramona.

I think it's pretty, and not very common. Thoughts?

About time they had that kid, seemed like she was pregnant forever!

Ramona is a nice name. It's not one I'd use, but it's nice.

I've never been a fan of Ramona but it could be worse.

Hmm. I love the Ramona Quimby books, but I don't care for the name itself. I do like the fact that it's a very underused name. Good for them. :)

I think it's very nice. I also like Renata, which is vaguely similar, what do you think of that?

I don't like it because it reminds me of the french word "ramoneur" which means chimney sweep. It is much better than some of the celebrity baby names though...

I think it's perfect for their family.

I think it's cute, especially for them. And for a celebrity baby name, it's rather tame...which is good.

It's hard to separate the name from the very strong association. But I think it would probably be great once I knew a real person with the name. It has a lot of great qualities going for it. I think it's a nice choice.

Congratulations to them, but i really really hate that name. I hope the baby doesnt have a double barrel name! Ramona Gyllenhaal-Sarsgaard is a mouthful.

I love it. I'd never use it, but it's awesome to see someone else use it! I like Rowena more than Ramona, but Ramona is still really nice :)

Of all the celebrity names out there, it's not my favorite, but it's up there.

I love it. partly because of (in spite of?) teh Ramona Quimby association. I'd be tempted to use it myself but I already have an Amelia (who is associated with Amelia Bedelia) so two pseudo children's lit derived names, eh, maybe too much.
