I really like Romy. I don't mind the others.

Madeline88 · 13/01/2019 04:01

Amelie and Mira are lovely. I also like Mirabelle.

Justagirlwholovesaboy · 13/01/2019 04:03

I like Mira, not a fan of Lois personally. Amelie is sweet too

Petalflowers · 13/01/2019 04:08

Don’t like Mira (immediately thought of mirror).

Prefer Romilly to Rome.

Lois is my favourite from your list. Unusual but not uncommon.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 13/01/2019 04:10

Romy

Shadow1234 · 13/01/2019 05:31

Romy is lovely

thatmustbenigelwiththebrie · 13/01/2019 05:57

Not keen on romy. Is it even a name?

Love Lois.

MyOtherProfile · 13/01/2019 06:04

Lois is nice.
Mira is ok but sounds like an electrical brand. Our shower is Mira.
Romy is nice.
Amelie is really common now. Lots of them around here. Depends on whether you mind that.

jessstan2 · 13/01/2019 06:11

Amelie is nice, so is Emily. Apart from Lois, which is OK but a bit old fashioned, I am not familiar with the other names you mention.

charlottetaylor93 · 13/01/2019 09:37

I’d for for Romy - easy to spell, classic (famous French movie star from way back when with that name, Romy Schneider)

I don’t like Lois as it makes me think of Superman’s sidekick and children would struggle to spell it phonetically. Amelie is gorgeous but so overused. Don’t like Mira.

I wanted to be Princess Romy when I was little

Romy. Lois is OK. Mira seems a bit bland. Strongly dislike Amelie.

Romy seems to be the most popular, thanks everyone! Do you think it goes with Lila and Edie?

Lois!! Love it- pretty, unusual but not unknown and not overly girly

Hollypink · 13/01/2019 21:42

I wasn't sure but with Lila and Edie I like lois

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 13/01/2019 21:44

Not Mira please. Myra Hindley?

Romy is nice.

Petalflowers · 13/01/2019 21:45

Yes, definitely goes.

@GreatDuckCookery I didn't consider that as I imagined it as being pronounced 'Meer-ra' but if others see it as Myra then I'd rather avoid!

All good.
Love Romy.

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 14/01/2019 00:30

Yes I see your point OP. I would just steer clear personally. Romy is much nicer and goes really well with your other DDs names.

Shadow1234 · 14/01/2019 03:15

Yes, Romy fits nicely with Lila and Edie.

AutumnColours9 · 14/01/2019 05:54

Lois

Greywind1523 · 14/01/2019 06:16

I really like Amelie and Romy.

Lois makes me think of Superman or Family Guy and Mira is a brand of shower.

BendydickCuminsnatch · 14/01/2019 06:39

Yes my first thought was Myra. Love all the others though!

ellenpartridge · 14/01/2019 06:47

Amelie
