I like the sound of it but when I see it the word "matron" does pop out at me. Still, the sound is good. I also like the similar sounding name Petrona.

Matron is like a dorm mother. It makes me think painfully of a old, komely lady condemned to folding sheets.

Kind of sound like Matron which is a nurse...

It has a great sound and meaning, but I'd be more likely to use it for a character than a child.

This name has a beautiful sound. Of course there is the whole 'Matron' fiasco, and the connotations that brings forth, but I still like it and love the way it sounds.

The 'matron' thing is a shame because it's such a beautiful name. You know, I think I could get over 'matron'. It's much more prominent in writing than it is when you say 'Matrona' aloud ... And we say names far more than we write them :-)

All I see is "Matron"

This name is usually considered awful even in Russia where it was used before. You will never meet a girl with name in modern Russia.

Way too close to the word 'matron' for me.

Beautiful Russian name. Who wouldn't want to be named lady?

Its similarity to the word "matron" kills any affection I might have for it.

I think of a woman (instead of a baby) whenever I see that name.

If a baby where given that name, a nickname (ex. Mattie) would be cute.
