Baby no. 1 due shortly and I'm torn between 3 first names!

Middle name likely Emilia or Emmeline as a nod to my mother, but want to focus on first name initially so would love everyone's opinions disregarding middle name.

What's everyone's preference in order of Romy/Cora/Sienna?

Thank you!

Cora would be first, then Romy and then Sienna.

I do like Cora even if it reminds me of apples lol, and then Romy is sweet enough and I'm not keen on Sienna but there's nothing wrong with exactly, just not my taste.

Cora
Romy
Sienna

Definitely Cora first! Classic and pretty but unusual.. I think sienna seems a bit trendy so will date, and Romy just reminds me of Italian takeaway places (there seems to be a lot of pizza places in my area called Roma or Romy or something similar!)

Whatisityoucantface · 05/06/2023 19:04

Cora
Romy
Sienna

Definitely Cora.
It fits with the "old fashioned" names that are now fashionable once again, and yet I've not come across any other Cora's so far.
I like it in that it is easy to pronounce and spell too.

Romy Romy Romy Romy Romy

Sienna too popular

Cora is ok, fine, just feels a little bit try hard to me, like "can I find an old fashioned girls name that not everyone has used yet?" It's also a basic supermarket range in Switzerland 😂

Ps Romy Emmeline is just lovely

Rauha · 05/06/2023 19:12

Cora

PickledScrump · 05/06/2023 20:11

Cora is beautiful.

I really don’t like the other two.

JamSandle · 05/06/2023 20:12

Cora
Romy
Sienna

Jemimapuddleduk · 05/06/2023 20:14

Cora

halfsiesonapotnoodle · 05/06/2023 20:18

Cora is frumpy and sounds like an apple corer. Romy is lovely but I never know if it's pronounced Rommy or Roamy. Sienna is nice too.

I'm afraid I can't bear Emilia though. The mealy sound in the middle...🤢

RosaSkye · 05/06/2023 20:19

Another vote for Cora.
I love it.

I like the others too- Romy always feels like it should be short for something to me , like Romilie

Sienna is beautiful but so popular

Fiadht · 05/06/2023 20:20

I love Romy, I think I’d go with it. I like Cora too, not as keen on sienna

catin8oots · 05/06/2023 20:20

Romilly

RosaSkye · 05/06/2023 20:21

In fact, if someone announced -

Cora Emmeline XXX

I would swoon!

Snugglemonkey · 05/06/2023 20:21

I love Cora. It suits Emmeline too.

Shrubb157 · 05/06/2023 20:22

I love both Cora and Romy

Smallonesaremorejuicy · 05/06/2023 20:22

Cora
definitely not Sienna
Romy hmmm Boris & Carrie have a Romy sounds like a nn .

JimJamJo · 05/06/2023 20:23

Cora
Romy (but sounds like it should be short for something)
Sienna

FlutteryButterfly · 05/06/2023 20:25

Are you pronouncing Emilia- Em-ee-lee-ah or Em-a-lee-ah? Just as I know two people that use the later but I'm aware the former is more common.

I don't think Suenna or Cora work with Emilia. So for that reason Romy.

shoopshoopdedoo · 05/06/2023 20:31

Of the three, I prefer Cora. I really dislike Sienna.
