Romilly Raphaela

[EllenDegenerate]

Surname will be Leeming.

Is the alliteration too much?

I think Romilly can sound nice with an alliterative middle name - Romilly Ruth for example - but I don't think Romilly Raphaela sounds quite right, it's a bit of a mouthful.

I think so . I like both names but would drop Romilly and have Raphaela (new middle name ) Leeming .

Love love love Romilly.

Middle name really doesn't matter.

Romilly Raphaella is divine.

Romilly Rachel Leeming
Romilly Rochelle Leeming
Raphaella Romilly Leeming

Romilly is cool, Raphaela isn't really to my taste but I think the name as a whole works well. RR Leeming has a certain ring to it too.

I like it.

Ooh love it!! As you don't normally use your middle name the alliteration is fine.

I think it's a bit of a tongue twister / too many syllables

I love it!

Love it.

I've never liked Romilly (it sounds like a weird adjective or something) but I like Raphaela.

Thank you 😊

Baby will be here in two weeks six days so trying v.hard to have a loose idea of a name before then.

I like Raphaela but not Romilly, and the alliteration is too much.

Prefer Romanie to Romilly - but my main concern is if she grows up with a slight speech defect, and can't pronounce R (like Jonathan Woss).

Raphaela is beautiful and much nicer and more feminine than Romilly, so I'd use that as first name.

Far too much both together.

One or the other, together they are way, way too much.

Ellen what's the story with Raphaela? You keep coming back to it. Are you set on it as a middle name, perhaps to honour a family member, or are you in love with this name and need someone to point it out?

She'll mainly be known as Romilly Leeming which I don't think flows very well and is hard to say.

Beautiful name.

Raines nobody in either family is named Raphaela so that's not the reason that I keep coming back to it, fact is I really do like it a lot.
Unfortunately I have a real aversion to the name Ella/Ellie and it's somewhat inevitable that it will be shortened to this at least when she starts school. This really puts me off using it as a first name, I also like Romilly lots but similarly I dislike Romy although that particular NN is probably less intuitive than Ella for Raphaella.

It's definitely between these two names in any case and I may just have to remain undecided until I can set eyes upon this baby (who may yet still be a boy) 😂

Personally I think both names are beautiful, but do feel like a mouthful.

And I hate to say it, but the double L sound with both sounds a mouthful with your surname.

Raphaelia isn't to my taste but I think it works well - Romilly Raphaelia is certainly a name with presence

My sister is a Raphaella and has never been called Ella
