  1. i love the name cause it is my name ??and i am definitely the Ramona in the book.

  2. I wanted my daughter to see her name on a book cover one day. And I went down the list of things like Olivia, Eloise, Madeline, but nothing felt right. Until I remembered a book I loved as a child and everything clicked into place. She is my Ramona and she fits her name perfectly.

    • Ramona is my favorate book and I’m reading it right now lol. But I really love the name and really want to my of my kids middle names Ramona one day!
