Romy

[songstressicons.livejournal.com]

Anyone have any thoughts on names Romy could be a nickname for besides Rosemary and Rosamund? It's for a character in a story, and I like Romy, but both those seem not quite right for the character. Any suggestions are welcome, both more traditional names and more modern/out there ones.

Thanks!

I knew a woman named Romila who everybody called Romy ^^

[ahavah]

Similarly, I knew a Romella. She didn't go by a nickname, but Romy or Ella would have been lovely.

One of our top girl baby names is Romana (NN Romi/y). She was a female Time Lord on Doctor Who (we're geeks, for sure).

Romilly for a girl and I've heard Romey being used as a nickname for Jerome.
