Comments and insights on the name Rhonda

Personal experiences with the name Rhonda

This is my mum's name. She was born in Australia in 1954. It is far less common in Australia than in the USA. On a recent trip to the US, Mum met more Rhondas in 3 weeks than she met in the preceeding 55 years in Aus!
She like her name though, as in her circles, it is distinctly hers.

My name is also Rhonda. I was born in Georgia in 1967.
My parents liked the name and thought it went well with my older brothers name, Roger.
Growing-up I didn't really like my name and wished my parents had given me a popular name or one that was more common...like LeAnn, Traci, Denise or Cathy.
However, now that I am an adult, I like my name and appreciate it much more. After all, my parents tried to have another baby for 10+ years after my brother was born...and they liked it enough to name their only baby girl!
