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.

Oh god, not another Mae. As pp says, an overdone and naff filler name. Fay is a lot better.

Not keen on Wren, although the bird is ok.
Romilly is awful.
Delphine is nice

Lovely names but not sure about them together. How about Romilly Maude?

Wren is very trendy and will probably date, similar to Dawn or Gail, but as middle name that doesn't matter so much.

Romilly is nice. As is Delphi

I like Romilly but not Wren in the middle. I agree that Wren Chapman or Wren Chandler or Wren Churchill does have Wrench in the middle. Pick a different middle name I suugest

I like Romilly a lot, a super cool grown up name. But I don't think it matches well with Wren, Romilly Wren sounds like a Beatrix Potter character, especially with the alliteration.

OTOH Delphine is an absolutely beautiful name, so I hope you use it, and forget about Wren.

I love the name Romilly. Unfortunately it's a town near us so could never use it. But it in my top 5.

I mispronounced it as Bromily Breath 🙈

Presumably as Wren is her middle name it won't be used much so Romily Ch...sounds fine.

Sorry I know it wasn't what you were asking but I really like Delphine

I like Romilly but don't like Wren.

I have 4 s's in my name. I had a lisp as a child and had to have speech therapy.

I must admit Romilly makes me think Romy, then I think Romy and Michelle’s High school reunion and I love that movie so I like the name. However, I think it will be shortened to Romy if that bothers you? Romy is also beautiful.

I don’t like Wren at all (sorry!) but I don’t think the two R sounding names are a problem - if you like it go for it!

What are your other kids called? x

Nooo sorry...it's an absolute mouthful. Does not go together at all.

I think it's super cute! I am bias as my son is called Wren, but I love Romily. I think it would be shortened to Romy.

I can't say it.

They don’t go together but I love both names

Assuming you want honest replies then I don’t like it.

These are my reasons:

I personally don’t like alliterative name combinations.

I don’t think the two names ‘go’. I think Romilly is a beautiful name but needs something plainer and more classic alongside it eg Romilly Charlotte or Romilly Elizabeth both sound great to me.

I think the name is very hard to say and doesn’t ‘flow’.

I also get Wrench when put with your surname.

Forgot to say I also dislike Wren as a name

I wouldn’t put those two names together.

Given that you've already named your son R and R , it sounds pretentious.

Sorry.

I have a Romilly and, to my eternal sadness (I wanted her nn to be Mimi or RoRo or Rommy), she's Rom to her sister and friends. Or RomBomb. Or Romster. And her Dad calls her RomCom. Literally no one has ever called her Milly. So, worry not!

How funny, I can’t begin to imagine how someone would perceive Charlotte or Elizabeth as more plain than … Wren….

@CrazyArmadilloLady its cultural isn’t it? Charlotte and Elizabeth are run of the mill names. Wren is unusual and not a common name in the UK.
