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

It’s lovely, it’s the name of one of the most wonderful people I’ve ever met❤️

Romy reminds me of a 00s emo girl. Not sure why!

I like Orla

I love it and most of the others on your list especially Marnie, Esme & Margot.

I have a baby Romy! I love it and feel like it works at all ages, we get lots of compliments on it too.

Very fashionable and also the name of one of Boris Johnson’s kids.

I don't understand why people can't just say if they like or don't like a name without being rude about it.

OP, I think Romy is a cute name. From your list I also like Daisy and Orla.

Thank you for all your comments! Certainly a mixed bag 😂 I'd be so interested to know your ages because a lot of these comments sound like my mum (in her 60s) 🤣

I guess there is no "perfect" name and you just have to go with whichever name resonates with you the most!

I'm in my 50s, so I've seen trends come and go.
Daisy, Ava and Margot were frumpy when I was young. They seem a bit tired now - Ava especially. Like Romy, it's too associated with one actress.
The other names seem a bit 'current'.

I wouldn't use Orla because I'm not keen on using names from a language or culture with which I have no association, and I don't think they date well, and I think it's more a 1960s name in Ireland. That might just be my opinion.

Check for how the name sounds with the surname.

Romy is a beautiful name, Op! It’s the best on your list although I do also like Orla. Not keen on the others especially Eden which makes me think of a nightclub and Marnie which there is something whiney about. I wouldn’t go with Bonnie either because of Bonnie Blue association which is a shame as it’s a nice name! In case you’re wondering I’m a millennial (so pretty far off 60!)

I like Romy, although to me it’s a French name so I’d not want to appropriate it but I know not everyone cares about that.

I love Romy. I'd go for that.
Ava, Esme and Daisy: meh. I'm a bit over 'old lady' names.
Love Marnie.
Don't like Margot or Bonnie. Respectively make me think of The Good Life (nothing wrong with that, but not for a new baby's name) and dogs.
Eden is a bit 'Hollywood starlet'.
Orla is nice.

Used to like it until Boris & Carrie used it

Agree! Margot is done to death, as well as resembling grubs.

@Handeyethingyowl , it's not French.

Do you like Ebony?

Names I like best, inspired from your list ..
Rosemary
Rowena
Orla
Elsie
Dulcie
Daisy

Do you like Ebony?

Awful. Faddy and will date quickly considering how many Romys were born in 2024! Very nouveau riche.

I really like Romy. Using my teacher measuring name stick - I have taught three and all were lovely, happy and bubbly girls!

😂😂

Love Romy! I actually thought of it after I’d named my DD and got a twang of name regret, although I do love the name I gave her, if I have another girl it’ll be Romy though!

I've got a Romi, short for Romola. Both are family names. It's lovely, but it's also increasingly common - there are three others in the years below her at school. Also, many people can't pronounce it.

I prefer Remi, but I don't dislike Romy.

And from your list, Orla.

Im early 40's 🙂

I went to school with a Romy in the early 2000’s and always loved it.

From your list I also love Marnie and Eden.

I love Romy.

The other name you list that I like is Bonnie.

I especially dislike Marnie.

It's German/ Austrian, a diminutive of Rosemarie.
