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.

Oh god this is really making me question myself now as I would totally have called my baby that but was vetoed by DH How embarrassing that would of been to be on the same wavelength as Boris knobjockey 🤣

Yiayoula · 16/12/2021 17:01

No fan of Boris, but I like all the names .
They are clearly meaningful to the parents, which is all that matters.

Wilma55 · 16/12/2021 17:04

I know a Romy in her 60/70s, it is a nickname for Rosemary.

@DeclareThePenniesOnYourEyes 🤣

Four with Marina Wheeler: Lara Lettice, Milo Arthur, Cassia Peaches, and Theodore Apollo

Cassia Peaches is fucking awful 😂

Saucery · 16/12/2021 17:22

I like it. Also like Romilly.

Poetrypatty · 16/12/2021 17:25

Cassia is also a lovely name imo

BorsetshireBanality · 16/12/2021 17:29

Maybe one or both of them is a fan of Spiral” (Laure’s baby)

Skeumorph · 16/12/2021 17:35

Hardly Boris though is it? They're basically Carrie's babies, it's her name choices I'm sure. He probably got informed by whatsapp.

She clearly wanted babies, the marraige won't last past a certain point but she's getting the things she wants out of it - she has to have the babies now or it'll be too late.

I don't really think of them as Boris' children - he doesn't parent, he's like some strange sperm donor really.

Skeumorph · 16/12/2021 17:36

Yes I like Cassia best out of all the names.

Romy is nice. No, it's Romey not Rommie - I know one.

Sorry for being thick- Rome-y (as in pronounced like why)? Or Rome-ee? (More like a hard E)?

AnotherOneWithNoGoodName · 16/12/2021 17:45

To clarify above- like Romeo but dropping the O?

scottishnames · 16/12/2021 17:49

Yes, it's 'Rome-ee', short for Rosemary - the same 'o' sound. I've met more than one.

Actor Romy Scheider was posh, Austrian/German/French, beautiful. glamorous, troubled, controversial and talented. She died tragically young. Her life-story is not a happy one.

RonniePickering · 16/12/2021 17:50

Yeah it's definitely Rome-y.

LondonWolf · 16/12/2021 17:50

Pretty. I like it.

scottishnames · 16/12/2021 17:51

Schneider, not Scheider. Sorry; typing too fast.

DingDongMerrilyOnline · 16/12/2021 18:17

LOVE the name Romy, if I have a DD that’s what I’d name her. Tainted now though 😢

NarcissaMalfoysManicure · 16/12/2021 18:17

That kid is evidently not his.

Skeumorph · 16/12/2021 18:18

What, Romy?

Hahaha really?!

Skeumorph · 16/12/2021 18:19

Mind you ALL babies look like Dominic Cummings so I wouldn't read too much into it.

MincePieIceCream · 16/12/2021 18:20

It’s lovely. I was expecting a boring royal-style Charlotte, Elizabeth, Alice type name.

Suretobe · 16/12/2021 18:20

I know two and they are Rommie!!

What a bitchy thing to say.

If you're basing your inane remark on the fact that the child has dark hair well, you do know that babies hair quite often tends to fall out and grow back another colour.

Anyway, now you do now and hopefully that will stop you making a dick out of yourself if one of your friends has a child with different hair to the father. Sometimes, a child can also have different eye colour and even skin colour.

It's a lot to take on, isn't it.
