"I like my first name, Ramsey. Often, wise guys like to associate it with Ramses (a prophylactic ), just to see if it bothers me. I usually just laugh it off, considering the source (dumb SOB ;-) )" Mar. 18, 2019: 
"This is a great boys name. Cute on a toddler, distinguished on a professional. I think it's a solid choice for any boy. I don't see it as a girls name, personally." Dec. 11, 2017:
"my son's name is Ramsey. besides having a Scottish/English meaning, there is also a name usually spelled Ramzi, pronounced Ram-zee, which means "Symbolic" in Arabic. we usually pronounce Ramsey as Ram-zee, but Ram-see and Rahm-zee are fine as well.
I've met three very young Ramzis, and two Ramseys: both the Ramseys were adult, over 50. one was a Ph.D. at Texas Tech University.
sometimes people think we are saying Ramses/ Rameses, like Rameses the Great... not a bad connotation, though" Nov. 27, 2005:

"MY name is Ramses, not Ramsey, but it is sometimes mistaken and pronounced like that =/.. Most People have a lot of trouble pronouncing/spelling/writing down my name, which is at times bothering.. I was born in Mexico and there, Mexico, it is pronounced, Ram-seh-s, (with the 'R' rolled) but now i live in the US and people pronounce it, Ram-sees. Now i dont like prnouncing my own name aloud, because i dont know which to tell them to call me because It istrouble some in the spanish version, and i dont like it in English =/.. But overall I like my name because it gives something to talk about in an akward situation or something like that. Sometimes people even callme 'Ramses the great.' hehe =D" Dec. 29, 2006:

"Could the 1980 popularity have to do with the popular romance novel, "The Proud Breed"? The book was popular in early 1980. The Hero's name is Gavin Ramsay.
It's ok." Sep. 21, 2006:
