Thoughts on the name Romy?

[helpwithname]

Stilll can't decide on a name for our baby girl due imminently!!

Other names we like:

Ava
Daisy
Marnie
Margot
Bonnie
Eden
Esme
Orla

My top three are Ava, Esme or Marnie.

Most of the others are also nice, except I really dislike Bonnie (because I would hate to be called this myself).

Ava is v common - there will be at least 2 others in her school class I promise!
Romy is nice and in a country I know well it is is the nickname for Romina, which is also nice.

I like it pronounced Rom-me but not Rome-me. I know 2 children called Romy, 1 pronounced each way.

From your list - Orla.

If I’d ever had my longed after girl she would have been Romilly 😀

Agree.

It’s a bit like Romany gypsies, but not quite.

There are better names out there.

I’ve always loved Romy. Is it short for something or a name in itself though?

I like it but think it sounds more like a nickname? I knew a Romy who pronounced it 'Rah-me' so you might find that she's always having to tell people how to say it.

I love Eden, and Edie is a lovely nickname.

I love Romy! It’s number 1 on my girls list

Not at all keen on Romy. In your list I like Daisy best and Margot next. Marnie is pretty dire.

Romy is nice unusual name and it will suit a child and an adult.

Is there a reason why Marnie is becoming popular ?

I can’t believe we’re on page 2 and no one else instantly thought of Romy and Michelle’s High School Reunion. I feel old. 😂

@deeahgwitch It's not particularly, but it's mentioned on here more frequently.
It also has sounds that occur in popular names. (Margot, Arlo, the -ie names)

It's short for Margaret, I think.

Third post, I mentioned it!

I would have said roh me not ro me like Rome with a Y ..so doesn't sound great... Like most of your others... Less keen on Daisy as there were a couple of horrors at dc school...
Marnie is probably my favourite also Bonnie and every Orla i've has been lovely

The little girl I never had was called Romy 😍

Only if you name her future sister Michelle...

I love Romy and all of the other names too, except Bonnie because now unfortunately that just reminds me of Bonnie Blue and the name will forever be associated with her in my head.

It's the name of Boris and Carrie Johnson's daughter - if that's at all off-putting 😁

I love Romy.
Margot Eden & Orla are the best of the rest.

I knew a Romy and she always got called “Rome-y” which she hated.

Romy is lovely, I like all of the names really, except Bonnie.

Ava is pretty but I have several friends/acquaintances who have girls named Ava!

But that's how every Romy I've ever met pronounced her name...?

My mum was Romey. Short for Rosemary. I think it's beautiful.
