Namesakes can be ...
TRICKY
The name Ronald was widely used for boys during the Baby Boom Era, which leaves modern-day parents scrambling to find accurate and appealing namesakes for "Ron".
Mothers of sons have found perfect solutions with the male names Cameron, Ronan, and Rowan.
But what about mothers who are expecting daughters?
- Bronwyn, Rhonwyn, and Rona all offer exact-sounding options, but are exclusively feminine, which decreases the possibility that your daughter will share her name with fellow classmates.
- Nora is Ron spelled backwards with an "a" on the end.
- Riona offers an exotic flair. And its meaning, "queenly", shares a common bond with Ronald, which is generally believed to mean "bold ruler".
