Romily or Verity .., not much time left?

We are going round in circles.. is Romily too unusual? I had to show DH a utube clip of Romily Weeks to convince him that it is a real name. We also like Verity but are concerned it may be a little "prim".

I like them both, sorry not a lot of help. Ive seen a few peeps on here have romilly on their lists so its not so unusual really. I dont think verity is to prim.

Sorry im not more help, maybe just go to the hospital with the two names and pick one out of a hat when she born.

Both lovely, although I prefer Romily.

DesertOrchid · 09/02/2011 13:24

I like Verity, it has a much nicer meaning.

theagedparent · 09/02/2011 13:25

Romily is my favourite.

Glamour · 09/02/2011 13:46

i love romily

i think verity is a little prim and for some reason it makes me think of a child that would be naughty!

Romiley (pronounced the same way as Romily) is an area in South Manchester.

Verity is much nicer and it has a good meaning.

QuestionNumber · 09/02/2011 13:47

I think Verity is lovely. Not keen on Romilly.

MelinaM · 09/02/2011 13:49

I love Romily, it's perfect! I know two Verity's, and neither are prim (quite the opposite), nor particularly nice, so that puts me off that monika! x

Hedwig3 · 09/02/2011 13:50

Much prefer Romily.

mustdash · 09/02/2011 13:51

I love both, why don't you just see which suits her best?

Memsahib · 09/02/2011 14:46

both are lovely - I agree with mustdash, see what suits her! Romilly is in the running for us too.

gobehindabushfgs · 09/02/2011 14:47

Romily is nice, although I have only seen it spelt Romilly

I prefer Romy though

coatgate · 09/02/2011 14:48

Yes to Romily.

AllieW · 09/02/2011 14:53

I like them both, although marginally prefer Verity. I thought it was spelt Romilly, though?

SnapFrakkleAndPop · 09/02/2011 15:04

Oooh either! Romilly probably.

booandbump · 09/02/2011 15:13

I prefer Romilly but only because one of my friends has the surname Verity.

Sarsaparilllla · 10/02/2011 11:11

I love Verity, I think it's really pretty :)

Pasiphae · 10/02/2011 11:30

I prefer Verity. A little bit more elegant.

ILikeToMoveItMoveIt · 10/02/2011 11:31

Romily is my favourite.

kreecherlivesupstairs · 10/02/2011 11:40

Verity. I know Romily the place. Yuk.

thereisalightanditnevergoesout · 10/02/2011 11:40

We have a Romilly. You can spell with 1 l though. Funnily, enough DH always wanted Verity for DCs 3 & 4 but they were both boys.

Romilly's not so unusual see? (our Romilly's on there...) and up until WW2 was mostly used for boys.

CrosswordAddict · 10/02/2011 11:43

Verity gets my vote. The word means truth plus it sounds classy. Romilly doesn't do it for me I'm afraid.

HildegardVonBlingen · 10/02/2011 11:45

Verity. Definitely.

shouldnotbehere · 10/02/2011 11:46

Verity. I love the name.

Rannaldini · 10/02/2011 11:48
