Think I'm getting there with naming a girl!

[matimum]

I am 30 weeks pregnant now and still going round in circles with a name if its a girl. I have boys name sorted now!

What do you think of Romy Iris? I really want Iris as a middle name and have fallen in love with the name Romy although I know it's usually a nickname I'm not as keen on any of the full names its short for!

So opinions please. I already have a Matilda, with nn Tilda.

Thanks

I haven't heard of Romy

am not sure about it

I do like Iris a lot

Sorry but I don't really like Romy at all. Iris is lovely though.

What is Romy short for? Romola?

I am realyl sorry but not keen

Like both names on there own - but not together as it makes it sound there is something worng with her eye

I know a Romy - short for Rosemary. I like it.

I like it!

ha ha to something wrong with her eye, I hadn't thought of that!

Romy short for Romola and Romilly I guess. Do quite like Romilly but wouldn't like it if ever shortened to Milly

Romilly Iris flows far better than Romy.

If she's always had the nn Romy (as your other DD has Tilda) then "Millie" shouldn't be an issue.

I reckon you can steer people away from Milly if you want to.

Always think it best to go with a full name rather than nickname-only version ... gives the person more choice as to how they'd like it used when they grow up.

Agree that Romilly Iris flows really well. I think Romy Iris sounds a bit clunky, and although I know the eye thing was a joky comment, that poster has a point - it has the rhythm of an adjective/noun combination to it.

Thanks for your comments, I can completely see where you are coming from! I do like Romilly so will try that out for a while, Would be distraught if I ended up with a Tilly and a Milly though, lol!

I love Romy, but not with Iris as a mn.

I like Romy and Romilly. Like them a lot actually.

I also have a Mathilda (nn Tilda) and love the name Iris.

Are you me? If yes, where did we put the thermometer?

I taught a lovely Romy. hadn't heard of the name before but since found out it is a nn of Rosemary. v nice.

I like Rosemary with nn Romy. That's lovely. not mad about Iris as a first name but it's a good middle name

I think Romy is a pretty name. My dd had a friend who went to Australia, she pronounced it "Rommie"; is this your version or is it "Roamie?" But I do think Romilly Iris go well together rather than Romy Iris.

We liked Matilda but already have a Harriet who goes by Hattie... DD2 wasn't called Matilda because we didn't want to run the risk of Hattie and Mattie/y.

In the future you won't be able to determine the nicknames your daughters choose to call themselves by so if you're concerned that you may end up with a Tilly and Mille it might be a good idea to avoid Romilly.

Romy is increasing in popularity where we are - might it become the Evie/ lexie of it's generation?
