How would you pronounce Romy? I thought it was Row-mee and I thought that was the French too but heard it pronounced now as Roh-me (short oh sound if that makes sense

Rom-ee ?
I am trying to think back to the film ‘Romy and Michelle’. I am sure it was “Rom-ee”.

Row-mee. Pretty sure that’s correct. In English it would be two m’s in the middle to have a short oh sound.

LilyLemonade · 31/07/2023 17:21

The French pronounce it ‘Rommy’.

PlaceYourHands · 31/07/2023 17:21

Roam-ee.

FleurFarady · 31/07/2023 17:27

ROM same sound as rom-com ( as in a movie) then MEE

Row (as in to row a boat) - me

JamSandle · 31/07/2023 17:36

Roe-Me

OdFoDneighbour · 31/07/2023 17:45

You want to name your child the same as one of Boris Wan Ker Johnson?

Row-mee. Pretty sure that’s correct. In English it would be two m’s in the middle to have a short oh sound.

This.

So, the same as in Rome (the city) with a Y on the end.

In English, it would need a double M to be Rom (as in CD Rom) ee (Romm-ee)
