Romy or Eden for a girl?

[emeraldrainbow]

Thoughts?

My unfiltered, first thoughts would be

Is Romy short for something?
Eden - do you have Jewish heritage?

Have you had the baby? I can't say I like the names but Romy is miles better than Eden.

Romy is better than Eden.

Eden is lovely.

Romy sounds very infantile. I wouldn't use it as a given name.

I've only ever heard Romy as a boys name. I prefer Eden.

I like Eden best.

Eden is lovely. I'm sorry but Romy sounds tacky!

Romy is getting very popular where I am.
it’s starting to grow on me.

I'm not wild on either, although I think Eden wins out for me. I quite like Edie as a nickname.

Not short for something and no Jewish relatives

Not had baby yet, still very open to names

Love Romy although I've only ever heard it used as a shortened version of Romeo.

Romy as in Romy Schneider! The famous actress! Very popular name in Germany and France, I love it! (Currently pregnant and will be naming my baby Romy 🤍)

eden! so pretty

I don't like Eden at all. I like Romy though.

Romy is a German/ Austrian pet name for Rosemarie.

Eden is a popular surfer babe/ hippie name.

I love them both, so I'm no help.

I love Romy Schneider, so maybe on that basis I'd choose Romy. But Eden is gorgeous too.

Romy is an old and well established girl name.

Love Romy!

Eden is ok. Romy isn’t.

This thread is so divided! I like Romy, Eden is a bit meh.

You could’ve shared your associations without quoting me but as you did I feel I have to justify mine -
Eden is a very common girls’ name in Israel, even top name a couple of decades ago. It was made popular here through the Jewish communities around 2005-2010.
Means paradise from Hebrew, as I’m sure op already knows.

Thanks for letting us know what Romy is diminutive for in Germany/ Austria.

Romy

Not keen on either tbh. Romy I immediately think of Romy and Michelle’s high school reunion film.

Romy short for Rosemary in my traditional circles. Lovely name
