Romy / Romalie ?

I'm expecting baby No 1 and love Romy but
feel it's potentially a bit too nicknamey. I don't love the spelling of Romilly (risk of nn becoming Milly which isn't for us) - but came across alternative spelling of Romalie which I love.

It doesn't appear to have a meaning though - can anyone shed any light? I feel the meaning a name holds is important.

Thanks!

Just adding, there's a stand-alone Hebrew girls name רומי which is most often transliterated as Romi, but sometimes as Romy - completely separate from the use of Romy as a shortening of Rosemary/Rosemarie. I believe the fairly well known US art historian Romy Golan is an example.
