HelpRe: What's the appeal of Romilly?
in reply to a message by zizi
I like it, a lot actually. I think it's because people can envision it on a smaller child, but because it's sort of old-fashioned and has British history (the Romilly barons) it would work on an adult as well.
It also has great nickname potential. I love Romy and was thinking about using Romola or Romana (or even naming a boy Roman just to get that nickname) when I read a biography about the infamous Mitford sisters, one of whom married a British anti-fascist named Esmond Romilly. Since then I've loved Esmond for a boy and Romilly for a girl.
Milly's cute, too, but Romy seems more grounded and original.
