Ronnie for girls#1792 US
The Ronettes were an American girl group led by Ronnie Spector. Archie Comics's Veronica Lodge is often called Ronnie.
Ronnie for boys#1067 US
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..
Usually considered a nickname for Ronald, a Scottish form of the Old Norse name Ragnvaldr, meaning "ruler's counsel", Ronnie may break the name away from the Ronald McDonald and presidential connections.
Pronounced RAH-nee.
As of October 2026, Ronnie ranked #1792 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #491 in 1946.
