Ramone
Shared punk alias
Ramone is a masculine given name, a variant of Ramon (Spanish form of Raymond).
It gained cultural prominence through the Ramones, the influential 1970s punk rock band whose members all adopted the surname as a unifying stage name—Joey Ramone, Johnny Ramone, Dee Dee Ramone—though none were actually named Ramone or related to each other.
