I also adore Romilly but think you'll struggle with your preferred pronunciation of Romy as I do think most people will say Rom-ee not Roe-me. Congratulations by the way!!

Thanks

I think it's lovely. The way you wish to pronounce seems to be the standard/common way ime so I'd be surprised if you found any trouble with this. I've actually never even heard of the other pronunciation!

I know a Romy pronounced Rom-y (rather than Roam-y). I like it.

I love it, and would definitely only pronounce it Roe-me.

I'm not keen, and if it effects your choice, I've not seen it before and I said "Rom-ee" in my head. So I presume I'm not the only one, which might mean your ds(?) / dd (?) might get fed up of people pronouncing it differently.
