Reva 😊

Romy

Romy

Reva makes me think of Reeva Steenkamp. I prefer Romy - though I prefer it as a nickname.

Snowiscold · 25/08/2022 19:25

Meant to add, Reva is fine, but I’d assume you were Jewish. If you’re not, it seems a bit of an odd one to choose.

Love Romy

Luredbyapomegranate · 25/08/2022 19:47

Romy, although prefer Romilly as a full name

Reva sounds like a piece of software and / or reminds me of that poor girl murdered by Oscar P

Romy

@Snowiscold isn’t it of Indian origin? I know a few Indian girls named Reva.

LadyEloise1 · 25/08/2022 20:12

Romy

DramaAlpaca · 25/08/2022 22:28

I love Reva/Reeva, it's a beautiful name, but it's still too associated with Reeva Steenkamp.

Romy is lovely too, but I see it as a diminutive of Rosemary.

pinkstripeycat · 25/08/2022 22:42

Is Romi pronounced r-oh-mee or rom-ee?

DuchessOfSausage · 26/08/2022 08:37

I'm not keen on either of them

PrimroseWharf · 26/08/2022 10:08

Don’t like Reva. Roma is ok as a nn for Romilly or Rosemary.

SizzlerFizzler · 26/08/2022 12:47

I like Romy but knowing the repulsive Johnsons have given that name to their daughter has put me right off it.

Reva is okay but it does remind me of poor Reeva Steenkamp.

Cindie943811A · 26/08/2022 12:52

Romy is lovely and has class to it

Pinkchicken85 · 28/08/2022 01:59

Romy

Watchthesunrise · 28/08/2022 03:49

I know loads of Reva's. Here in my part of Polynesia it means the wind or the weather. It's a beautiful name. 🌸

Penguinsaregreat · 28/08/2022 08:13

Reva.
How do you pronounce Romy?

LadyWithLapdog · 28/08/2022 08:16

Reva
not Romy because of the Johnson association. Too soon.
