Romily or Verity .., not much time left?

We are going round in circles.. is Romily too unusual? I had to show DH a utube clip of Romily Weeks to convince him that it is a real name. We also like Verity but are concerned it may be a little "prim".

Verity is much, much nicer than Rommilly IMHO. Lovely name that works well on adults too.

Verity

cazzybabs · 10/02/2011 19:25

I love Verity

ThatllDoPig · 10/02/2011 19:23

Romilly is pure gorgeousness. I like the two l's but don't know why.

Verity is the name of David Essex's daughter (how old am I, too?) not that that should put you off - just saying.

And Mandy1978 - we got those faces from DH's family - I can only say it made me more convinced to use it (but then I can be really awkward Grin).

Romily. I dislike Verity as it reminds me of a creepy Kenny Everett character (how old am I)

GwendolineMaryLacey · 10/02/2011 17:49

Love love love love love Verity. Please use it because DH hates it and so I can't.

Not keen on Romilly at all.

Romilly

I never quite understand why, when OP is asking for help to decide between two names why someone has to post and say they like neither Confused.

shouldnotbehere · 10/02/2011 11:46

Verity. I love the name.

HildegardVonBlingen · 10/02/2011 11:45

Verity. Definitely.

CrosswordAddict · 10/02/2011 11:43

Verity gets my vote. The word means truth plus it sounds classy. Romilly doesn't do it for me I'm afraid.

thereisalightanditnevergoesout · 10/02/2011 11:40

We have a Romilly. You can spell with 1 l though. Funnily, enough DH always wanted Verity for DCs 3 & 4 but they were both boys.

Romilly's not so unusual see? (our Romilly's on there...) and up until WW2 was mostly used for boys.

kreecherlivesupstairs · 10/02/2011 11:40

Verity. I know Romily the place. Yuk.

ILikeToMoveItMoveIt · 10/02/2011 11:31

Romily is my favourite.

Pasiphae · 10/02/2011 11:30

I prefer Verity. A little bit more elegant.

Sarsaparilllla · 10/02/2011 11:11

I love Verity, I think it's really pretty :)
