Romy Jane or Ivy Jane?

[dessertmissthecream]

Romy is my choice and Ivy DH's. Jane is a middle name we are def going to have as it is the name of a lovely friend of ours who passed last year. FYI we already have a Callum.

Nobody we speak to finds fault with Ivy but I've had a few "Repeat that, sorry?" 's when I mention Romy. And one "Sounds chavvy". I never thought that but can't stop thinking about it. It always sounded bohemian and lovely to me.

Thoughts?

Ivy Jane

Romy, definitely. Ivy is just getting on the granny chic bandwagon with all the Florence/Betsy/Maud lovers.

I like both but I think Romy is more original, when I hear ivy all I think of is Beyonce's kid blue ivy.

I like both actually - I don’t think Romy sounds chavvy but I guess being so unusual it’s got more potential for strong negative associations
I love Ivy though so I’d have to say Ivy Jane

Romy Jane

Or Rowan :)

I'd choose Ivy Jane

Ivy Jane

Prefer Romilly. But Romy is better than Ivy.

Poison Ivy is not a great association.

Romy, definitely. Ivy is far too overused.

not keen on Romy - could you have the orginal Rosemary/Rosemarie and just use Romy as a nn- for some illogical reason it looks incomplete...

I like Ivy better esp with Jane

I love Ivy Jane (Harry Kane's older daughter is Ivy Jane)

Ivy, Romy is a bit more trendy therefor could be accused of being chavvy.

Ivy is very overused, id go with Romy

Love the name Romy. It’s the short form of Rosemarie made famous by German actress Romy Schneider.

I don’t find it at all chav (such a horrible word) it’s just not a common British name yet. It is becoming an increasingly popular choice in France. Julia Restoin Roitfeld has a Romy.

Ivy is nice although lacks any sparkle and it is becoming very common now.

Not keen on Ivy

Romy is cute!

Romy Jane.

Ivy Jane is now a fundy name. Romy Jane for me.

Jane and Janie are great. Do without the others or make them middle names.

I love both names however ivy Jane rolls better together than than romy Jane x

Ivy Jane.

I dislike Romy a lot, and have a feeling it will become quite popular over next few years

I know 2 Romys. I teach one (about 15) and the other is friends with my son, so about 18.

I quite like it but also like Ivy.

Could you have 2 middle names e.g Romy Jane Ivy?
