Romany? Nn Romy

[Bigfam]

Pretty much set on this name for our daughter due in December, but having seen someone else mention it somewhere, people have commented they would avoid it because of the connection to travellers.
Do you make the same connection?
My oh is a settled traveller, would you think it strange for a traveller child to be named Romany? (I won't take offence, genuinely want to know what you think)

To add:

Should anyone make judgmental and bigoted comments about the name and/ or perceived 'negative' connections, well, they need to educate themselves about Romany and traveller heritage anyway.

Is a reflection on them...and not a good one!

I think it's a lovely unusual name

Hi Bigfam, many congratulations on the birth of your beautiful daughter 💐
I bet Daddy is very proud of her lovely name.
Is she dark haired with dark eyes ! I'd love to see her 😄

Romany is a lovely name, congratulations!

Thank you everyone. Here she is Sugarpie 😊

Aww, she is such a cutie, hope you didn't mind me asking OP.
She so suits her lovely name. ⭐️🌟💫

Beautiful name !

Awwww, she's a beauty! And Romany is such a lovely name too. Congratulations OP!

Thanks everyone. It definitely feels right, I couldn't imagine her with another name

Aww I didn't even see the pic, she's perfect. Congrats OP. Beautiful Romy

It's a lovely name. It reminds me of my NDN daughter when I was a kid, she was Romany, no romany heritage I'm aware of though. She'd be in her mid-30s by now.

I wouldn't have made that connection straight away, although it is a pretty clear connection.
However it is a nice name, and Romy is a lovely nn too. I think it is totally useable.

I love Romany/Romy. It reminds me of the song 'Bee's Wing' by Christy Moore
