Romessa for a girl?

Been thinking of some baby names and this is my favourite at the moment. We are Punjabi so want a make that isn’t crazy hard to say and spell but relates a part of our heritage. Other names we are considering are Zara, Sofia, Farihah, Aliya, and Farah

I'm not sure about the 'mess' sound in Romessa, or the potential nickname Messy.

I like Sofia and Zara.

Love Farah. Not keen on Romessa to be honest, it’s a bit over fussy.

Josette77 · 19/03/2022 18:24

I love Aliya.

Zara, Sophia and Farah are lovely choices :).

It's a bit fussy, I prefer your other choices (except Farihah).

I really like the sound of it. Pretty name.

Roselilly36 · 19/03/2022 18:38

I love Farah, Zara, Roma I also like, not heard of Romessa, can’t say I like it to be honest.

It makes me think of messy, although you could shorten it to Romy

Zara is nice, Farah is alright
Sofia is lovely but there are an awful lot of them

I like it - easily to pronounce even if you haven't heard it before and doesn't sound like a made up name.

Even if she does end up with "messy" as a nickname, it's pretty mild - the sort of nickname I'd imagine a teenager liking

WeasilyPleased · 19/03/2022 22:15

I really like it.

Pandypuff · 20/03/2022 03:34

Doesn't compare to Zara 😍

BearBibble · 20/03/2022 05:14

I think Romessa is pretty, and agree that 'Messy' could be a sweet / funny nickname - or 'Romi' if you disagree!

PullingAtTeeth · 20/03/2022 12:25

I really like it! Is it pronounced Romaysa? Or Romessa? I like either

KirstenBlest · 20/03/2022 12:32

Romessa - mess
Zara - nice but the shop
Sofia - nice but with Sophia has been too popular for too long
Farihah - ok
Aliya - ok but a bit nothingy
Farah - nice

I like Romessa and Aliya very much.

WhackingPhoenix · 21/03/2022 12:05

From your list I like Aliya, Farah and Zara.

Also might I suggest Maya, Ashima or Jasmine.

Wow, I love Romessa! That's the first time I've heard it, but if I met someone called Romessa, I'd immediately tell them what a fabulous name they had.
