I think it has a pretty sound, but I can't help but linking it to the word Romani and for that reason I wouldn't consider if for myself.

I think it's one of the ugliest names out there. I don't like any name starting with Ro, except names like Rosemary or Rosalia.

It's not uncommon here and I've met a couple Rominas. Not a bad name, but also not something I'd ever use (feel the same about Roman, Ramona, etc.).

I don't like it. It sounds like a birth control pill brand to me.

I like it a lot. Close friends of my Dad have a daughter named Romina, who I grew up with so it doesn't seem too unusual to me although I have never met another. I couldn't use it because I'm still in regular contact with her and it would seem weird so I've never given the name a huge amount of thought. My Romina's siblings are Gloria, Renee, Jessica and Lucas if you're interested :)

Oh, I like it. At least, much more than Romana. It's spirited and posh, but open. Like the kind of person who owns a polo pony named Brian.

Except I'd be worried that it would get mushed into "Romna", rather than the much prettier "ro-MEE-na".

...although Romna is still kinda cool, in a Ferengi sort of way.

Oh wow, that's...really pretty. I'm kind of ashamed that I haven't heard of this name sooner, just because it seems exactly like the kind of name I'd run across and hold onto. Very beautiful indeed, and I just adore the nn's Minnie and Mina, and Romy isn't so bad either.

Agreed. How has this not been on my radar?

I have been looking for a full name for Min for ages!

aw... just asked DH about it and he goes "uh, we're not from Rome. And it sounds like someone's imaginary friend."

I full disagree with him, but I think that counts as a shoot down. ;(

I know, it's crazy.... I don't know how I've never heard of it before!? I'm always on the lookout for longer forms of Romy but have never liked Ramona because I dislike the Mona sound. So not the case with Mina :)

Glad I'm not the only ones who's been in the dark, lol. It literally just popped into my head and I'm having such an "ah HA!" moment. I thought for sure I was just slow to the chase
