Romy?!

[BedtimeBear]

I love it. DP not so sure. Long-ish surname, but two short middle names which need to be included. Already have a Joseph (Joe)...

For a boy or girl? Reminds me a bit of Romchi (nickname for Roman), or Rommy (nickname for Romilly).

It's a girls name isn't it? I quite like it. Prefer Romilly though.

How about Romilly NN Romy?

Lovely! Could be short for Romola or Romilly, both of which are near the top of our list for next (as yet unconceived ) dd, with Romy as a shortened form.

Sorry- for a girl

I do really like Romilly now you mention it...

Short for Rosemary?

Short for Rosemary is how I had seen it, but not keen on Rosemary. Do you think it can be a name on it's own, or does it have to be short for something? (I have a short name, and have always quite liked that is couldn't be shortened/made into NN, IYSWIM?!)

i like it but prefer Romilly - Romy reminds me of mil's dog, sorry.

I think it's pretty dreadful as stand alone name. Ok as a short

I also think of Romy Schneider (whose real name was Rosemarie Magdalena). I love it as a stand alone name.

I know two girls (now women!) with Romy as their given name. One is South African, other is v posh aristocratic English (she's actually a Lady Romy....)

I LOVE it.

Oh and, personally, I MUCH prefer Romy to Romilly (which doesn't seem like a proper name to me and is a rather nasty town on the outskirts of Paris, but hey, if that rocks your boat... )

There's a girl in our Y4 called Romy - two syllable middle name, single syllable surname, sounds nice.

Makes me think of Romy and Michele lol

I like Romy

thanks everyone. Opinions noted!
