Thoughts on Romy?

[Graceyland]

I like it but not too sure on how the name is viewed. Any thoughts?

I know a Romillie and quite like it. Romy sounds like a shortened version of that.

I like it a lot. It might start to be associated with Boris Johnson's baby now though.

Would be fine but Boris has ruined it forever

I'm not keen as it always seems a bit nothingy- a bit bland?

Love it

I think it's nice. I first heard of it years ago through Romy Schneider (an Austrian actress who was most famous in the 1950s/60s). I don't think the Boris Johnson baby thing is a big deal, personally. It's not like he invented the name or it was completely unknown before he used it.

Horrible

BJ's baby. Also, Romy sounds a bit nothingy. Inoffensive and not super common though

Much prefer Romilly and Romy as a dim.

Is it pronounced Romey or Rommy?

Either way I just think of Dodo.

Love it.

*Bojo

Oh well, I suppose Dodo suits him.

It's nice but bear in mind it's very similar to Roman which is the fastest rising boy name , now uk top 30. I know quite a few baby Romans called either Rome or Romy so although the specific name Romy is fairly unusual it feels really common as it's similar to Roman's nicknames and also very similar to Rory which is another of the top rising boy names

I liked it before Johnson used it.

Love it

Sounds like someone cant pronounce Rosemary.

I really like it, I heard it a couple of years ago on Spiral a French crime series on TV and thought it was a lovely name.

Thanks everyone! I had originally ruled it out and not given it any further thought due to the boris connection but I’m really struggling to come up with any names I like this time round. Think I need to be a bit less fussy!

Never knew the Romillie/Romilly connection which I quite like but not sure my husband will go for that!

I really like Romy and also Roma.

Not keen on Romilly at all

I quite like it but put off by the Boris connection. Also like Rumi

Prefer Romilly or Remy. Know a lovely Remy.

Love it! I know a really inspirational one, short for Romina..

I don't like it. Hadn't realized it was Boris' kids name. Tbh, I don't think that connection will last long as he won't be in power forever.

It’s ok?

Not very distinguished but getting quite popular

I think Romilly is better as a full name

Prefer Romilly or Remy. Know a lovely Remy.

Remy is a French bloke’s name 😕
