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?

Romy Jane

Callum is traditional Scottish name, neither Ivy or Romy go with it.

@TatianaLarina I have an Ivy who's named after the character poison Ivy. It made me chuckle that you feel the association is a negative one .

OP, I like both names (no shock on liking Ivy), Romy is the singer in my favourite band and she is an amazing woman.

Think Ivy Jane goes better
And Callum & Ivy sounds good!

@DeReynolds poison ivy isn’t a character (the character was named after poison ivy) it’s a plant that makes an oil that gives you a nasty rash & blisters....oh & it can kill you!

I do love the name Ivy - but I’m surprised you find the poison ivy association a positive one!

Much prefer Ivy and think it goes better with Callum

I’m not keen on either. I agree that something else would go better with Callum.

My DD is Ivy. It’s a great name. It wasn’t popular at all when she was born but it’s becoming more common now which is annoying for me! Still love it though and it suits her very well.

Romy is nice too.

I'm not keen on Romy or Ivy tbh...

Ivy goes better with Callum though.

Romy doesn’t seem like a proper name. Is that why folk are “???”

I never know whether it’s Rom-ee or Roam-y, looking at it...
