I really like this name for a boy. I like unusual names. It's the name of the candle in Beauty & the Beast and I think it sounds so lovely.

Romantica is such a, well, romantic girls name I think. I wonder if it is a real girls name in Italy or somewhere?

I thought of Lumiere-Maison for my boys second name. It has a certain ring to it and Romantica-Belle-Eugeniyah for a girl.

Where do you live? Your dcs would be eaten alive with names like those around here. Maybe where you live they would be quite the norm. My dcs have unusual names but not names that might cause them grief through life.

They are beautiful, romantic sounding names but they would be very hard to live with.

Would you use nick names in general? Romy for a girl is lovely for example.

No on sooooooooooooooo many levels.

Loomy for short? Really?

Would you want to be called Romantica? I certainly can not think of a single time in my life when I would have wanted that to be my name.

And Lumiere sounds like a gay French something. Nothing wrong with being gay or French but really............

Lumiere is a candlestick. Anyone named Romantica is guaranteed to go the big and ugly route. You may want to consider having children if you can't give them decent names or get over your Disney fetish

Romantica reminds me of 'erotica' and I can't say I'd name my child this.
I quite like Lumiere.

Romantica sounds like a bargain basement Walls ice cream.

Lumiere is a Chanel foundation in my world.
