I've narrowed it down to these three and love them all. Which do you like best?

I have a German friend named Elke pronounced Elka , she is in her 70s. I quite like the name but my favourite of those three is Romilly.

Love Romilly.

megrichardson · 31/03/2019 18:37

Romilly I love

Changedmynametoolikeyou · 31/03/2019 18:30

They are all really nice names.

MamaDane · 31/03/2019 18:30

Elke is lovely as you have a German surname. I'd go for that one

ReginaPhalange89 · 31/03/2019 18:23

That would be elk

Still the same thing to me 🤷‍♂️ wouldn't know how to pronounce it

Mystiques · 31/03/2019 14:30

That would be elk^.
I like them all! Slightly prefer Romilly and Elke to Juno.

ReginaPhalange89 · 31/03/2019 13:52

Isn't Elke some sort of moose ? 🤔I immediately thought of a huge animal when I read it. Sorry

Juno is nice. Not keen on Romily. I'm sure it's a real name but sounds made up to me

midsomermurderess · 31/03/2019 10:42

And it's pronounced Elkuh, not Elk or Elkeee.

midsomermurderess · 31/03/2019 10:40

Elke.

tabbiemoo · 31/03/2019 08:47

Love the name Romilly.
Not keen on Juno or Elke

HeronLanyon · 31/03/2019 00:50

Romilly by far.

Shadow1234 · 31/03/2019 00:48

Romilly

Dramatical · 30/03/2019 11:41

No need for the Confused I clearly don't know that!

TatianaLarina · 30/03/2019 11:34

Juno is a female Roman goddess Confused

chipsandgin · 30/03/2019 09:53

Juno

Dramatical · 30/03/2019 09:52

Juno too masculine sounding.

When i read the OP I thought the names were for a boy until I saw this comment Confused

EleanorOalike · 30/03/2019 09:43

Elke, only because I know an Elka and think it’s a lovely, unusual name.

TatianaLarina · 30/03/2019 08:44

Love Romilly.

Elke would end up pronounced Elk here.

Sessy19 · 29/03/2019 19:53

Absolutely ADORE Elke, and it’s on our list. Romilly is sweet, reminds me of the actress Romola Garai. Juno not only reminds me of the film, but I knew a Juno who’s a lovely girl. Great list, OP! 😊

nocluenoidea · 29/03/2019 07:38

Juno or Elke

I really find Romilly a hard one to pronounce as it doesn't flow very well so just sounds awkward. Though the nicknames Romy or Milly are cute

NightmareLoon · 29/03/2019 07:23

El-kee

MikeUniformMike · 27/03/2019 11:08

Juno. Not keen on any of them. Guess Elke is pronounced Elk-uh.

outpinked · 27/03/2019 11:06

Juno

ABitOTT · 25/03/2019 21:27

Juno Romilly - problem solved
