Re: Which names don't 'go'?
in reply to a message by Ottilie
I think most of them do go, (though some are much nicer than others). I also like the name Romilly.
The ones that don't in my opinion are:
Daphne, Gwen, Nora, Philomena, Sybil, Wilhelmina - These names all sound too dowdy and frumpy next to Romilly.
Eulalia / Eulalie - two many Ls with Romilly.
Hedwig, Thisbe - I'm not sure that these goes with anything so it's hard for me to judge objectively but I couldn't imagine someone pairing Romilly with either of these names.
Milena - I don't dislike it, it just sounds very European next to Romilly which I think of as being quite British.
Olympia, Tempest - Not totally sure why but they just have a different image for me than Romilly.
I know someone who used Romilly. I think her other child is called Willow.

Romilly and Willow is interesting, I'm quite surprised to see them together, really.
Thank you!
