Childs name as an adult

[threeduckslittle]

Can you imagine the name Romy on an adult?

I know a very cool adult Romy if that helps!

I also like Romilly.

Romy. I don't like it.
I'd think her parents were trying to be a bit 'different' but didn't have much vision.

I know a Romy as an abbreviation of Rosemary. She suits either/both.

OP it reads as though you would be disappointed if your child's personality didn't match with their name.

Surely not?

@Spied Do you say that mostly about names that you don't know? 'Different' often just means they have different cultural origins, just something to consider.

Romy works night shift in the freezer section of the local Wal-mart. There you go.

I 'know' Romy perfectly well,thanks.
My observation was that a lot of parents who chose Romy will have no idea of any cultural connotations and will choose it believing they are just being a bit edgy.
Unfortunately it's the type of name that attracts such people.Imo of course.

@BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz No I wouldn't be disappointed at all, a name doesn't dictate someones personality.

My original question was really just whether it could be imagined on a adult as the concern was that it sounds perhaps too much like a nickname.

Romy works as an adult name. It very nice. It’s traditionally short for Rosemary, I think, but is fine as a stand-alone name. I know one in her 40s.
