How would you pronounce it....Rommy or Row me??

Also what do you think of it/what vibe do you get from it?

My first thought was 'and Michelle's High School Reunion'

But it was fleeting and thinking on the name it's self it's pretty. I like it.

Do you know many Romys? I have never met one and like the simple but quirky vibe.

The Romy I know pronounces it Rom-ee. (rhyming with Tommy).

It's Row-mee. And in Romy & Michelle's high school reunion.

I would personally prefer Row mee! I'm not looking for suggestions for names to shorten if we did use it it would be Romy on the birth cert.

Row-me. Lovely name, but could personally never have used as it rhymes with our surname!!

dalmatianmad · 22/01/2017 22:27

I should say "Rommy" sounds like a strange version of Tommy Hmm

Joeybee · 22/01/2017 22:23

Row-me definitely. If it was pronounced 'Rommy' I would totally dislike the name.

DramaAlpaca · 22/01/2017 22:07

I'd pronounce it Roe - me.

To me it's a nice nickname for Rosemary.

buttercup54321 · 22/01/2017 22:06

Prefer Rosemary

CactusFred · 22/01/2017 22:03

Row me.

This was on my girls list and I was talked out of it as everyone said it made them think big fat gypsy wedding.

Still love it though!

babyblabber · 22/01/2017 22:00

Rommy

Yeah that movie with phoebe from friends comes to mind, although I've never seen it!

NapQueen · 22/01/2017 21:56

Row Me.

All I think of is the movie, Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion

Soozikinzi · 22/01/2017 21:56

Row mee is how I would say it I like it has a Romany vibe to me x
