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

definitely Juno, it's gorgeous x :)

Elke was originally a diminutive for Adelaide which I much prefer
Romilly prob my favourite of your list

Love them all! DD was almost Romilly (DH vetoed Juno because of the film) but we went for Saskia in the end

One of my best friends growing up was an Elke so I love the name.

aliceandkids77 · 25/03/2019 17:17

not Elke, it reminds me of the animal! I think Romilly and Juno are both very pretty though, you may want to wait and see what she looks like and suits? x

stitchwitch84 · 25/03/2019 14:08

Going against the crowd: Elke is the best of the three! It's a gorgeous name and I'd definitely shortlist it if I were even slightly Germanic.

Juno makes me think of Junoesque…

KathyS901 · 25/03/2019 13:54

Finally! Someone else has said that Romilly reminds them of Rommel! This is ALL I can think of when I see the name Romilly. Elke makes me think of Elks. So Juno it is!

My daughter is called Romilly and we get loads of compliments x

The only Elke I've ever known was a boy.”

Only one Ive ever come across was the actress, Elke Sommers.

Romilly

Not Juno if there's a German connection and you'll get the Y pronunciation or, worse, people trying to say it in what they imagine is the English way and making 'Chuno' out of it. (All J names were out for us for this reason). Otherwise, it's my favourite. I find Romilly faddy and it doesn't travel at all. Elke is hipster in the UK and 'late middle-aged lady with dyed red hair and a rucksack with little mirrors on' in Germany.

SadieContrary · 25/03/2019 12:21

If that was my list then Romilly every time

RoseMartha · 25/03/2019 12:20

None if them, but each to their own . if you like them use them.

WeepingWillowWeepingWino · 25/03/2019 12:02

Romilly

I don't know why but Elke is making me think of 1970s soft focus soft porn.

alonerinlona · 25/03/2019 12:00

In German do you pronounce J like a Y, so 'Yuno'?

Ribbonsonabox · 25/03/2019 11:58

Juno!

Marylou2 · 25/03/2019 11:56

Love them all. What a great selection. Juno is my favourite of the three.

Netflixaddiction · 25/03/2019 11:51

Romilly.
Juno too masculine sounding.
Elke is not to my taste at all.

Sophronia · 25/03/2019 11:48

Romilly makes me think of Rommel. I definitely wouldn’t call it a classic name!

Pieceofpurplesky · 25/03/2019 11:46

Romy rather than Romaliy
Juno

Barbarafromblackpool · 25/03/2019 11:45

Juno
