I've only ever heard Romy as a boys name. I prefer Eden.

Romy is an old and well established girl name.

I love them both, so I'm no help.

I love Romy Schneider, so maybe on that basis I'd choose Romy. But Eden is gorgeous too.

My unfiltered, first thoughts would be

Is Romy short for something?
Eden - do you have Jewish heritage?

Romy is a German/ Austrian pet name for Rosemarie.

Eden is a popular surfer babe/ hippie name.

I don't like Eden at all. I like Romy though.

Jfieobabco · 08/05/2026 20:33

Romy as in Romy Schneider! The famous actress! Very popular name in Germany and France, I love it! (Currently pregnant and will be naming my baby Romy 🤍)

Love Romy although I've only ever heard it used as a shortened version of Romeo.

Have you had the baby? I can't say I like the names but Romy is miles better than Eden.

Not had baby yet, still very open to names

Not short for something and no Jewish relatives

I'm not wild on either, although I think Eden wins out for me. I quite like Edie as a nickname.

Romy is getting very popular where I am.
it’s starting to grow on me.

Ipsevenenabibas · 07/05/2026 20:58

Eden is lovely. I'm sorry but Romy sounds tacky!

ShetlandishMum · 07/05/2026 20:57

I like Eden best.

Eden is lovely.

Romy sounds very infantile. I wouldn't use it as a given name.

Greenknightsuccess · 07/05/2026 19:31

Romy is better than Eden.
