About Ronnie
A popular mid-century choice in America, Ronnie might feel a little dated now, having been in decline since the 80s and dipping in and out of the Top 1000 since the 2020s. In England and Wales, however, Ronnie presents a totally different image: retro but cool, edgy but old-fashioned, a recent year saw it appear in the Top 50, perfectly at home with Teddy, Reggie, Sonny, and Archie..
