Name like Romy?

[Bustermoon]

Hi all,

Help needed! We absolutely love the name Romy and were all set to use it for our baby girl who is due in March. Unfortunately, my SIL has just used this name for her daughter.

Anyhoo, I think what I love about the name is the “ee” sound, so I’m not looking for alternatives like Romily, Ramona etc, but more another quite short name that sounds quite soft on the ear. We like happy sounding names

I like Josie (but we have another in the family) as well as Stevie, Darcy and Sophie all of which DH has vetoed! He does love Sophie (is too chicken to use Stevie although I agree it’s a bit out there) and generally “ee” sounding names but we know 5 baby Sophie’s so that is out.

Please can you wise people help?

You sound lovely sil is lucky you are so reasonable x

Wow you are handling this so well!

I think most people in your shoes would have started a thread called 'AIBU to be absolutely livid that my SIL stole my name?' 😂

Jovi - has the same ee sounds at the end but is a bit harder sounding as the start

Edie
Elodie
Sylvie
Hallie
Bonnie
Darcey

Molly
Verity

Calliope

Thank you sooo much for all for the names. I really, really like lots of them (Indie, Orla, Joni, Jovie and especially Loveday, but DH would keel over at that one ).

Ah bless you I’m trying! The thing is, there is nothing I can do about it (which she knows) and at some point I’m going to be expected to get on with it as everyone gets used to my niece being a Romy (sob!). So
I’m trying to do that now although I still think it’s really crappy and she is totally on my list!

Modge - have you had any inspiration from this thread?? There wre some great names here. Yes, discussing names ahead is a really bad move. I had thought it would be a way of ensuring a name came off the table (as that’s how I would see it). Totally naive!
