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?

Are you joking me? 75 posts and no one has said 'Michele' (one L)?

Post-its, people!

Seriously though, OP, you sound like a seriously lovely and gracious person. I'm a hot-head who'd be tipping up tables and screeching 'name thief' at your scheming SIL. The name was clearly stolen from you, and that is weird behaviour, although it doesn't have to matter in the long term as you'll find an equally lovely name. (even still, bad cess to that Romy snaffling madam)

I love Aphra and Cleo from the suggested names.

Romy was on my list along with Remi, Leni, Reya & Noa.

Not a fan of Romy much prefer Emme

Rhona ( ro-na) is another R name

Cleone or Leone ( final one pronounced ownee)
Toni

What name did you choose in the end OP?

Sadie
Ottilie (Ottie)
Margaret (Maggie)
Clementine (clemmie)
Edith (Edie)

Oh zombie thread
What did you pick @Bustermoon

Zillah
Wren
Carrie
Sasha
Bibi

But guessing she’s here by now?!

What was the final name?

Yes would love an update @Bustermoon

Not sure if it’s been mentioned but what about Sadie? It’s not really popular, but well known and similar vibe to Romy.

Love Emmie, Dulcie,
