Thoughts on.... Romy

[Spanishsenorota]

Sorry another post. What are your thoughts on the name Romy? Pronounced Ro-mee...
Would it get mispronounced as Ro-my?
Read that it means Dew of the Sea, with mediterrean links to Rosemary.
Would have it as given name not short for anything.

Both make me think of the Nazi war leader Rommel I’m afraid, although if you can get that out your head I think they’re both quite nice sounding names.

Me too

Romy is lovely. Romilly too.

Yes.

I would associate with BoJo and 🤮

I love it, that is one of my cousins names and she is so sweet and kind.
I also have a cousin called Roma too xxxx

I think it’s a beautiful name and I hate boris Johnson - that association will soon fade into oblivion

Came here to say this. I quite like it, but this kills it for me. I don't want to be in the same category as them in anything.

I don’t like it; sorry. I like Roma or Rosemary better.

I absolutely love Romy

I really liked Romy. DH liked it too but felt was more of a nickname and didn't like Romily which was the full name we would have used so didn't make it as our final choice. X

Romy is very sweet, but I couldn't use it as a standalone name. To me, it's a very nice diminutive of Rosemary.

To me it seems unfinished- like it's meant to be a nickname for a longer name

It's a beautiful name. I think of either Romy Schneider or Romy and Michele.

Rom-illy, so it is a different sound to Romy but a similar sort of name which just has a bit more spark to it imo. I think it's the Row and Me sound combinations together which just make Romy feel a bit whiny to me. Just my opinion though. I've always felt the same about how Willow sounds too and that's ridiculously popular now so clearly lots of people do like those sort of names.

Agree - Boris has totally ruined it. Their child is about 3 so I think it is too recent and people will remember.

Romilly (rom like prom, not like roam) is lovely.

Romilly is a gorgeous name. Romy is also pretty but I think Romilly has the edge.

I like Roman for a boy. Maybe go with Roman if you have a boy.

I don't think it would be mispronounced but I prefer Roma. The Roma I know is actually a Rosemary, but always known since birth as Roma.

I love Romy - but far, far prefer Rom-ee to Roam-ee as a pronunciation.

Only off put is the fact that BJ called his daughter that...

What about Romola?

I think go for a name that doesn't date. Romy is a trend and in 40 years time it'll be easy to guess your daughters age before people meet her whereas something more classical such as Rosanne means she could be any age as it spans a wider time period as a popular name.

It's my favourite name if we were to ever have another DD but DH hates it and can't explain why 😢 l

Another vote for Romilly

Initially made me think of the newreade Romilly Weeks but now see it as a fresh sounding girls name that also suits adults.
