Hi, I really like the name Romy for a girl. DP likes it too but only if it can be short for a longer name. He likes Ramona or Romana but I'm not convinced by either of them. I have read that Romy was originally short for Rosemary but this isn't an option for us. Please send me your suggestions!

I know a Romey. It isn't short for anything - just Romey in its own right

I knew a Romy as well, always thought it was a great name.

(Her brother's name was "Bellini" btw!)

I know a Romy short for Romaine. Nobody seems to have heard of this name but I know 2 people - one Romayne in her 20s and Romaine age 6. Quite nice, I think.

Well, I obviously need to say that Romey/Romy is a name in its own right Smile. But I think Romilly is lovely, had not heard that before.

Roma

Romola as in the wonderfully talented Romola Garai.
This is the female version of Romulus the founder of Rome.

Just Romy is absolutely fine. I know one, who works in a professional role and it hasn't held her back.

It has to be Andromeda. What an awesome name.

newnametoday1 · 17/07/2014 22:19
