Personal experiences with the name Rhonda: | Edit

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.
