It’s really cute. I love the name, haven’t heard it on a real person I don’t think just on baby boards and films.

How do you pronounce it? Is it like Tommy with an R. Or like Rome-y.

Mirrorxx · 16/12/2021 14:47

Samcro · 16/12/2021 14:47

LotusCheesecake · 16/12/2021 14:48

If you can bear watching him in the clip linked to you will hear him pronounce it. It's Rome-y

I love Romy and Michelle’s high school reunion. Might do my annual rewatch at the weekend.

‘Samcro

do people really care.’

Care or have a passing interest? Latter for me, it’s a nice name thought I’d enter into some light chit chat while having a fairly mundane day

This 👏🏼 I like the name.

DoodleBelle · 16/12/2021 15:10

Unexpected choice! Not sure I like it. I don’t like him either though so that fits.

hijinx8 · 16/12/2021 15:11

I really like it and I’m no fan of his

hijinx8 · 16/12/2021 15:11

Makes me think of Romy and Michele too.

Marianne1234 · 16/12/2021 15:12

Aw I loved Romy and Michelle I’ll need to try and watch it over the hols

HelloDulling · 16/12/2021 15:13

My friend has a baby Romy, born this summer. She is not delighted.

I made the kids watch Romy and Michelle recently. I don’t think they got it 😲. Carrie said short for Rosemary her aunt.

Not great imo, but then neither is Wilfred.

Camii · 16/12/2021 15:17

I love Romy.

midsomermurderess · 16/12/2021 15:19

It makes me think of the unexpectedly enormous baby in Spiral.

gogohm · 16/12/2021 15:19

That's surprising, would have expected old fashioned English name

the80sweregreat · 16/12/2021 15:22

I like it. It's unusual and I've not heard of that name before.
The photo they released of Wilfred looking at the new baby from behind made me smile , he has his dad's hair.

BorderlineHappy · 16/12/2021 15:24

Like the name,much better than Wilfred.
I don't think they "go" together though.

CaroleFuckingBaskin · 16/12/2021 15:26

Wilf has his dads hair in the pic.

Neither love or hate the name Romy, but happy for them

hijinx8 · 16/12/2021 15:29

Yes surprising they went for a name that isn't British like Wilfred
