Romy and Navy don't sound similar to me

delilabell · 27/01/2025 16:54

I love summer, bambi and honey.
How about wren or lark?

boulevardofbrokendreamss · 27/01/2025 16:56

I like Romy the best, but it sounds like Army with Navy said quickly afterwards. Navy and Ayla is, IMO, a second best from the list. I think Summer and Navy is too wordy and I just think of beaches with this sibset. I do love Honey, but I don't think it works as name and I hate Arlie and Raine. Bambi is just name fit for forever baby.

I love Romy and don’t think it’s too similar. I also really like Bambi!

Sorry OP I rarely comment on these but Navy is an awful name.

TeenLifeMum · 27/01/2025 17:40

Imagine if Navy wants to join the RAF 😂 sorry, but I’m sure you’re aware it’s a weird name. I like Romy and there’s some fab cute names above.

Frostine · 27/01/2025 17:42

Imagine if Navy wanted to have a profession in the forces - Army , Navy or RAF .
They would get an awful amount of flack which ever they chose .

Haha great minds !

Pyjamatimenow · 27/01/2025 17:44

Navy? What’s the thought process there?

pimplebum · 27/01/2025 17:47

Navy not good idea
Bambi horrendous name it is a doe eyed deer whose mum gets shot ?!!

Billyblue47 · 27/01/2025 17:51

I don't hate Navy. I'm surprised that I don't hate it but I don't.

Have you considered something like Indigo for a girl. Nickname indi. Maybe violet or Amber. Keep it colour themed

notatinydancer · 27/01/2025 17:51

You can't have Wren. A wren is a female Navy sailor.

MedusaAndHerFavourites · 27/01/2025 17:55

Navy makes me think of burley, tattooed, rum swigging, syphilis riddled sailors.

Raine is lovely, Romy is alright - the rest are a bit insipid.

NefiBlw · 27/01/2025 17:55

For the girl: Amber, Scarlett, Emerald, Rose, Violet, Ruby, Jade, ...

Davy is nice.

Are you naming him after me? Wink

This is mean but true!

I hope the Op isn't too offended and just takes our sage advice on Navy!

I always say - imagine your child grows up to be a judge.

"All rise for Judge Navy"....

NefiBlw · 27/01/2025 17:58

Warrant Officer Navy Traybake
or Sgt Major Navy Traybake

Navy just isn't a name
consider your son age 7, 14, 40...
just call him David or Ben fgs

24Dogcuddler · 27/01/2025 18:04

Congratulations expecting twins. Never come across Navy before as a name. Googled and it is mainly a girl’s name in the US.
I know you are set on it, certainly unique but if it does become popular here could be for girls? Just a thought.

Snorlaxo · 27/01/2025 18:07

If you go for Bambi then people will assume that you’re a Molly-Mae fan.

I would avoid Navy - if you like a colour name then there’s much better ones out there. I would imagine that the name would have the piss taken out of if he joined the forces

delilabell · 27/01/2025 16:54

Ha ha ha ha

Imagine calling them...Navy! Lark!

Have to be a certain age I guess...

NefiBlw · 27/01/2025 18:12

Roger for the girl?

BootballJoy · 27/01/2025 18:16

I don't think Navy and Romy sound similar. You could go for Navy and Romilly?

Navy and Summer also works

David or Ben? How boring.

I find those names so dull.

Every name was made up at some point OP. I don't love navy but wouldn't judge anyone for using an unusual name. I love honey from your list though!
