Romany

Both DH and I are not compromising on our favourite names so I need to convince him that Romany is much better than his favourite, Serena. Is it worth my efforts though or is DH right and it's a bit naff?

I love Romany and am less keen on Serena [I was a teacher and it has unfortunate connotations for me]

I know a Gypsy so I suppose it's a bit like that.

Why would you name a child after a whole people? It's a nice word but I just instantly think of gypsies.

Have heard of Roman as a name but not Romany.

I didn't know that was a name - I've heard of Romily before though.
Isn't that a bit like calling someone "French"?
Can't say I like the idea of Romany as a name, sorry.
