Found my girls name, let's see if negative reactions bother me!

[Bluemonkeyspots]

Want something a bit unusual but no unheard off. Only seen this one a few days ago and love it but even though i can't find any negatives I'm sure you lot can ;)

So here it is........................


Romy

[Permisson]

Afaik it's a full name in Germany...

Like it a lot- taught one once, it really suited her.

[Bluemonkeyspots]

Seemingly there were only 41 registered in 2011.

[sparkle12mar08]

Said Rommy or Row-me? I don't particularly like either tbh, but pronounced Row-me it is dire, Rommy would be the better of the two.

[jellybeans]

Love it.

[atthewelles]

I like it.

[GaryBuseysTeeth]

Rhymes with blow me.
Only negative I can think of.

Sounds ok in every accent/dialect I can think of.

[MadBusLady]

Totally new name to me, therefore sounds like a couple of syllables rather than a name.

That's as negative as I can do, it doesn't really inspire emotion either way. I would assume it was short for something.

[lljkk]

I don't warm to it, the problems with pronunciation put me off.

[NoGinorWine4Mu1berry]

I like it. I think there will be others though if that bothers you. Romillys shortened to Romys and I know of a Romy who is actually Rosemary. I would put Rosemary on the bc, but that's just me. romy is very pretty and I do like it. Good choice imo

[PorkusEnormous]

I love it.

[thegreylady]

Gorgeous name-I only ever knew one and she was one of the nicest women I have ever met :)
Hers was a nn for Romilly which I also like.

[LentilAsAnything]

I like it! Sorry! :) I also really like Romany.

[BornToFolk]

I don't like it, sorry. It's a bit meh for my tastes, sounds very much as though it should be short for something more substantial, if you know what I mean.

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

Don't like it, sorry - but hate Romilly so it's better than that!

[MadBusLady]

Romiley is and always will be a totally unremarkable suburb of Manchester to me. It would be like calling a child "Catford" or "Bootle".

[SugarMeFingers]

Love it, it was on my list for DC3 but he was a boy! Thought Callan would suit him more!

[strawberryliv]

Cute! There shouldn't be too many problems with pronunciation...

[eilonwy]

Nice name, and still fairly uncommon. 1st connotations - Romy and Michelle's.... film, and obviously the word 'roam' as in to travel, lol. Does it flow with surname? If you love it, why worry what anyone else thinks? It's your baby and your choice. xx

[lechatnoir]

Love it

[dixiechick1975]

and Michelle

Love that film. Business womens lunch...because we are business women.

If you like it go for it. Prefer Romilly.

[RiaOverTheRainbow]

I'd never heard it before, so it sounds made up to me. Will it bother you if people assume/ask if it's made up?

[trixymalixy]

My first thought was the film too.

[SomersetONeil]

It's a lovely name. Romy Schneider is beautiful and there are not many people who you can genuinely use that word to describe. So, nice association - at least aesthetically, speaking.

However... I suspect you're on the cusp of a zeitgeist. I've seen it mentioned a few times around and about. It may be unusual-ish now, but I think others will start to latch onto it as well.

[Reaa]

How about Romanie? I wanted that name for my DD but DH said no :-(
