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

I see Romy and just think Roomy.

I think roamy or rheumy.

Hers was pronounced “Rom-i”
I’ve known a few of both.
It must be annoying having a name constantly mispronounced

Exactly op, you probably wouldn’t like my kids names. Never ask for opinions! You know if you come back here when she’s born and introduce your new baby Romy, not one person would say anything negative about her name because at that point it’s her name and anything other than how lovely would be rude. But if you ask for opinions before hand people are usually quite blunt😂

I’m 52 and to me, Romy says ‘high-fashion, trending name, circa 2020s’

My cousin called her dd Romy after her grandma who recently passed away. I love it.

Romy is lovely, I've known quite a few over the years, I'm in my late 40s, one is a toddler, another is 12 another in her 20s and two others in their 40s like me.

I'd avoid Bonnie at he moment with the whole Bonnie Blue thing going on.

I know a few women and children called Daisy ranging from their 60s 40s, teenagers, to a few months old.

Ava oldest one I know is 16, but there are many younger ones.

Orla, I think I met one who must be about 12 and then there is Orla Guerrin whi is inspirational

Marnie, I've never met one but it has "chavvy" associations

Eden only encountered one, and he was born in the 1960s to quite hippie parents

Margot seems to be having a renaissance, I know three under 10 and a woman in her late 50s who I thought was very cool when I was about 8 and she was a teenager. Then of course there is Margot Fonteyn. And I know two others similar in age to me, both just normal average women in their late 40s, although both those are Margaux - maybe their parents liked Margaux Hemingway.

I always loved Romy, traditionally it was short for Rosemary

Love it - other Rose names:

Rosamund
Roisin
Rosario

Romy is awful. Sounds like someone can't pronounce Rosemary.

What an unhelpful and weird comment on a thread where other people have said that their children are called Romy. Literally no reason to do that except be crappy to people you don't need to be crappy to.

Also, no it doesn't sound at all like someone can't pronounce Rosemary

I love Romy. I really like Margot, but see a lot of little Margots at the moment.

Eden makes me think of cheap perfume. I really like Edith.

Bonnie is a weird one for me. Here the word “bonnie” means pretty/nice - eg “what a bonnie day it is today”, “that’s a bonnie dress you have on”, and I would be worried about a child who wasn’t bonnie feeling inadequate.

I like it better than any of your other suggestions except possibly Daisy - but I think Romy is probably rarer, so that would count in its favour for me.

I had an auntie Marnie, who would be in her mid 90s now, which was a nickname for Margaret in her case, so I'm fond of it for that reason.

I like it, I know a wonderful person called Romy so it has positive connotations for me.
