We've discovered we are having a baby girl and so now can properly start to think about names, yey!

I love:

Romily
Adaline

Like:

Clara
Ottilie
Mila

DH is not sure but does like Rory as a nn - but not Aurora (honestly - nightmare 😂).

I read somewhere that Rory can be used as a nn for Romily? What do you think?

I already have a Matilda.

What else might I like? I want something super beautiful, not too common and like shortenings that are like boys names etc.

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

My dd is Bromily and always gets Brom so I imagine Romilly would be Rom...

I loved the name Lorelei, was a contender before we went for Bromily

I like Rory as a nn for a girl, however it doesn't really go for Romilly.

Rory is a boy’s name.

I would use Romy as a nickname for Romily.

In Gilmore Girls Rory’s full name is Lorelei, If you like that instead of Aurora?

Rory as a nn is a bit naff. Romy is nice though. Not keen on the other names.
Rory makes me think of Rory Bremner and Rory McGrath.

We’ve got a Romilly. We assumed she would end up with the nick name Romy but she is unshakably Rom at school and at home now.

Never heard of the boy's name Rory as a nn for Romily. It'll be shortened to Rom by schoolfriends.
Not keen on any of your names but that's just me.
