(48 Posts)I'm quite fond of the name Romy for a girl, what do you all think?
Also, how would you spell it? Romy or Romi? Or another alternative?
Romily Romy is a nickname
Just makes me think of Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion. Which is a shocking film.
@Tinty yeah I'm not a fan of Romily. A girl I used to work with was called "Romy", I don't think it was short for anything - could be wrong though.
I'd spell it Romy. It's traditionally a diminutive of Rosemary.
Sounds like a nickname.
I think it's ok. I know someone named Remi which I love because I admire her so much.
I like it, on its own and as a short form for Ramona, Romilly or Rosemary/Rosamund. I like Romy spelling best.
I quite like Romy, never heard of it before. Not a fan of Romily though
I thought it more a nickname ... different I suppose

It's cute, I like it.
Fine as a name on its own I think.
@Kim1010 are you actively trying to be spiteful?
I think it’s pretty.
Is it pronounced rom-e or roam-e?
I'm thinking rom-e, but not heard of it before.
Roe-me
I like it & know an adult Romy, not a nickname.
Take mumsnet opinions with a pinch of salt, your choice will be questionable for some if you veer away from anything ordinary.
I like it - Romy.
Remi is quite cute, too.
How are you pronouncing it? I know a Romy - said Rom-me.
It's unusual but not offensive.
@stopshoutingd thanks! To be honest, I don't know why I've posted it on here, I suppose it's down to wether I like it, not anyone else. However, I'm 37 weeks pregnant and hormones gets you thinking all kinds of names so I just wanted to be sure I wasn't completely losing my mind.
The spelling I would go for would definitely be "Romy". It wouldn't be a nickname, just that. The pronunciation would be "Roe-me".
Yes I know it spelt & pronounced like that.
I was born & raised in London to immigrant parents with an unusual but cultural name like many of my school friends, colleagues etc. It's a very international city & everywhere I've worked I've met someone with a name I've never heard before. It's really not a big deal.
I really, REALLY don't like it.
There's a little girl who loves by be with that name. It's lovely and it's not common either . I'd go for it. Good luck xx
One of my favourites.
Great choice, Op. I really REALLY like the name Romy. It's pretty, unique enough and a good international name. It's still fairly unusual here but more common elsewhere in Europe especially in France. Prefer the spelling with a Y at the end but the Romi is spelling is nice too - that one is more common in Israel.
@TeetotalKoala Romy and Michelle's high school reunion isn't terrible film. It's a quirky film about female friendship bit ahead of it's time feminist classic imo. Maybe give it another chance
