I think we have our name - Romilly Wren

[callmesophia]

Curious to know what people think about our chosen name?

Romilly Wren (surname begins Ch, two syllables)

It was always between Romilly, Wren or Delphine/Delphi. And then someone suggested Wren as a middle name and bam, loved it. I do hope little one doesn't get 'Milly' as a nickname though 😕 This is our fourth child and I just think this goes so well with the others.

I'm really sorry, don't want to burst your bubble and all but I really struggle to say that out loud.

Only on like important occasions like a wedding or graduation possibly.

I really dislike the name Wren. Where I live it's a cheap kitchen fitter.
However, Romilly is pretty and not over used.

It's a bit of a tongue twister but you hardly ever say both first and middle names together at least. Try saying it fast three times!

I don't personally like either name that much but that's the thing about names, isn't it? It doesn't really matter what other people think.

Just now seeing all the combos
but I think Romilly Wren is hard to say because Ls at the end of Romilly. R-m-LL-R doesn't sound that well, but Romilly Anne or similar name might. Romilly Mae perhaps?

Sorry, meant to say I'm just now seeing all the comments!

Romilly Anne is nice.

Romilly is beautiful, and so is Milly if that does happen.

I never get the fuss over Wren, it looks pretty written down but really it’s just the sound Ren like Ren and Stimpy and I don’t love it with Romilly. As other have said maybe with another middle name in there to break up the alliteration?

I like Romilly, but I have to say it doesn’t go with Wren, which I admit I don’t like.

Romilly is lovely. One of my god daughter’s names. She’s 20 and known as Romy.

Pairing it with Wren is too alliterative and twee. I know no-one uses middle names so it may not matter, but it sounds a bit silly

I love it, my daughter is Bromily Beth, so very similar!

Exactly what I came to say! ‘Spanner, screwdriver, pliers and Romilly Wren..ch dinner time!’

Also what if she has a speech impediment? Womilly Wen.

They are lovely names but not together.

I don’t think they go well together and also not that keen on wren. Romilly Delphi sounds a little better. I also prefer milly to romy. Is it because it’s popular you don’t like it? Or you don’t like shortenings at all? In which case I’d go with Wren as it’s not going to get shortened!

Ah thanks folks, I do appreciate your replies. My 7 year old is also a R - R name, and it's never been weird.

I'm a fan of Romilly Mae, that's very sweet!

Just not a fan of Milly. I have taught too many. I like unusual names tbh.

I like both names but don't think they go together at all!

Maybe they would be better with a name inbetween?

Bromily is a different take, but alliterative with Beth. It's nice but does she get called Romilly by mistake?

Go with that then, it does sound better.

Names are too personal to really ask online, surely? If you like it, then go for it.

I think it's awful, too twee and cutesy. But then my DC have very average, typical British names. Particularly for girls I think it's important to have a name that can suit professional situations as well as a younger child and teen.

My teen has a mate called Romily lovely girl universally known as Rom

Womiwy Wen when she is with her little fwiends.

Romilly has never seemed like a name to me, more like something you do to repair a washing machine or something, Wren was a relatives surname which is like as a surname but not a first name.

I like not is like, or is nice...

If you like it, then use it, nobody uses their middle name day to day anyway

It feels very ‘of the moment’, but there’s nothing wrong with that.

It’s definitely better than Romilly Mae, though. Please not Mae (or May, Rose or Grace).

You might as well not bother with a middle name at all, if you’re just going to use one of those filler names that zillions of other girls of this generation has.

There are so many lovely names out there. You can do better than a default, filler name.
