Sister for Ivy

[lovemygirlivy]

My dd has just turned 2 and we are expecting her little sister in late June.

Our favourite name is Romy - what do people think about Ivy and Romy.

Our second favourite name is Elodie if that makes any difference.

Middle name suggestions would also be helpful - Ivy's middle name is matilda.

If you want a name to 'go together' surely Holly would be the most appropriate?

I'm not sure how to pronounce Romy (as in Rom-y or Rome -y) and I would think that she would have to go through life spelling her name out on the phone.

Prefer Eloise definitely.

Would you consider another botanical name? What about Hazel, Heather, Rowan?

I don't really like Elodie and I don't think it goes with the very Anglo-Saxon sounding Ivy. And I know it's really stupid and doesn't scan but Elodie and Ivy has started me off singing Ebony And Ivory.
This is unlikely to afflict many people, though, I admit it!
Romy, on the other hand, is really lovely. Romy Susannah? Romy Julia? Romy Josephine? Romy Adelaide? Romy Miriam?

Romy is pronounced - Ro-mee. Hatebeak i really like your suggestion of Romy Josephine.

I have a friend with an Ivy and a Ruby.

Ivy and...

Laura
Clarissa
Emma
Juliet
Melissa
Rowena
Elise

Ivy is on my hypothetical 2nd dd list!

So what about the other names I have on it;
Iris
Iona

(I have an Esme)

Ivy and Pearl.
Ivy and Mabel.
Ivy and Edith.
Ivy and Betty.
Ivy and Nina.

Can I just say, Badgerina, yes yes YES to all of those names! I also have an ivy, middle name was going to be Matilda too! We also liked Martha. Also love Tess, and hub likes Pippa.

Romy and Elodie are both lovely.

I have an ivy Matilda too! & she's 2 as well!
I'll be taking notes as I'm not pregnannt yet or even ttc but have been thinking about no2,

Can't believe you have an Ivy matilda too, they should be friends of course. Although i love all you suggestions - i would really love everyones first pick of either Romy or Elodie. Reasons why would also be good

The Romy I know pronounces it Rom-ee not Ro-mee.

I prefer Elodie. Elegant, French, not too cutesy.

It might get confusing lovemygirl!
I named her after my great grandmother

I prefer romy

They are both lovely & cute but 'elodie & ivy' makes me think of 'ebony & ivory' too! I'd be singing it in my head for the rest of my life!

Don't use Holly although it is a fabulous name.

Romy - lovely, also like Romilly (sp?)
Elodie - don't like, irrational just irks me

Love Pearl but won't be using it as dh as made a rude remark about it
Mabel- top of my list

Iris would go really well with Ivy, also like Autumn.

How about edie?

Romy: Prefer Romola (like Romola Garai)

Elodie: Not keen. Sounds like part of Melody. Not sure if it goes with Ivy too well.
