Oh please don’t call your child romilly, it’s a suburb of greater Manchester!

@MiddleAgedDread , that's Romiley.

I wonder if this, along with some of the other comments about this name, are the reason why it's so unpopular?
I think its a pretty sounding name, but I get why people won't like it!

@Indecisive1011 , I think it's a bit 'we like Emily but it's too popular' or 'we want Romy but want nn options'.
The 'Rom' bit doesn't sound nice.

I'd never actually considered close to Emily tbh! You make valid points though.
DH isn't a fan anyway.

Regardless, it still sounds the same!

Olive: this is a good name but in my opinion is completely different to the other 3 you like. In my head, it's more old school than the others. But it's a great name and Olivia is also a great name. Timeless!

Willow: sorry to anyone that has used this name but to me its a dogs name!

Phoebe: love! I dont know anyone with this name but its great.

Romilly/Romy: not a fan of either, sorry

@MiddleAgedDread , I'm reading MN not listening to it. Smile
Romilly does make think of Romiley, Stockport though.

I don't like Olivia. I think it has a totally different vibe to Olive! But yes I agree, Olive is different in style to the others.
