Two very different names!
Brothers name is Sebastian and our surname is Deschanel (pronounced Day-Chanel). I’m torn on what name to go with. Do you have a preference?
Romy or Valentina ?
Many Thanks.

Valentina "Leni" Deschanel... gorgeous!!

I like Romy as well but Valentina, with Leni as a nickname was my choice for DS2 had he been a girl.

Both.

Romy, Valentina surname.

Valentina 100%!!

Definitely Valentina! I know one who goes by Vali.

Heard someone calling their daughter Val the other day which made me cringe... she later called her her full name, Valentina. I think Valentina is nice but Val may be inevitable!

Valentina

Valentina is nice with your surname.

Shmithecat2 · 24/12/2019 03:38

Valentina! I know a Valentina, fabulous Italian lady.

MikeUniformMike · 25/12/2019 14:15

Not keen on either. Romany is a definite No.

I love Valentina! Beautiful and international.

Romy sounds unfeminine (like Tommy) and reminds me of the game Rommé.
