We were set on Connie, but came across a name I love earlier and I've been thinking about it all day, Romy...
Connie would be full name (not a nn for constance)
And Romy would be a full name (not a nn for romilly)
And spelling Romy/Romey/Romi. Which name do you prefer?

I want a Romy (with Rosemary in case she wants to have something more traditional), but DP said no. (So I'd choose Romy)

Only if they've all seen Romy and Michele.

Do you like Juno?

I've got a 2 week old called Romy. It's a beautiful name - I love saying it (although a few people have called her Rom-ee).

I've got a 9yo with a name that was very unusual when I named her which is now top 20. Am fearing Romy will go the same way!

Romy.

Connie was the annoying kid in the Faraway Tree. And Connie would be further shortened to Con. 'Hey, Con!'

Romy is so unusual. I like that. Nickname possibly Romes. Still sweet.

Cathaka15 · 12/07/2016 01:27

Connie.

blinkowl · 12/07/2016 01:24

I love Romy, it was on my list but DP didn't like it.

NapQueen · 12/07/2016 01:17

Connie.

Romy reminds me of Romy and Michelle's high school reunion movie.

Mclaren37 · 12/07/2016 01:03

Romy is the correct spelling and I prefer it to Connie. Romy is vey cool/chic imo. Sofia Coppola and Julia Roitfeld both have baby girls called Romy.

OliveV · 08/07/2016 18:09

Connie

ILoveMyMonkey · 06/07/2016 21:13

Love Connie. Romy is cute, it made me think Ramona (but only because RHNY is one of my favourite guilty pleasure shows).

DramaAlpaca · 06/07/2016 21:01

I like both, I'd find it hard to choose between them.

The spelling Romy is the usual one, I believe.

peachypips · 06/07/2016 20:57

I love Romy! Go for it!

Chottie · 06/07/2016 20:56

Connie as a nn for Constance

TwllBach · 06/07/2016 20:56

I know a little Connie and she's lovely, choose Connie Grin

Sophronia · 06/07/2016 20:54

Connie. I like Romy but only short for Rosemary.

NotYoda · 06/07/2016 20:33

Really like both of them, but I'd choose Connie

Mummamayhem · 06/07/2016 19:35

Both pretty! Romy is the right spelling imo

HereIAm20 · 06/07/2016 19:34

I thought Romy was an abbreviation or nn for Rosemary. I quite like Romy but not Rosemary. I know a couple of little Connies though so it may not be unusual if that's what you're after.

BertrandRussell · 06/07/2016 19:33

Connie.

But Constance on the birth certificate.

Quercus3 · 06/07/2016 19:32

Connie is lovely :)

SnoopDoggyDogg · 06/07/2016 19:30

I love Romilly. I know a Roma, full name is Romance.

Lunar1 · 06/07/2016 19:01

Stick with connie

Connie is lovely. Really not keen on Romy, but I think it's because I'm struggling to pronounce it.

Yes. Definitely Romy/romey/Romi & Connie Smile
