Re: Which names don't 'go'?
I'd eliminate these as a sister to Romilly:
Agnes, Eugenia/Eugenie, Hebe, Harriet, Hedwig, Penelope, Thisbe, Sybil, Winifred --Too ugly/harsh/clunky.
Bronwen, Camille, Cecily, Cosima, Ianthe, Eulalia/Eulalie, Hermione, Linnea, Marina, Olympia --Too similar in sound.
Alexandrine, Arabella, Araminta, Eleanora, Georgiana --Too frilly.
Gwen, May, Nora --Too insubstantial.
Edith, Gaia, Hero, Katharine, Keturah, Milena, Miriam, Ophelia, Tempest, Wilhelmina, Wren, Zelda --Jarringly different styles next to Romilly.
Philomena, Guinevere --These push Romilly into pretentious/over-the-top territory.These sound great with Romilly:
Anastasia
Eliza
Florence
Frances
Helena
Isadora
Kerensa
Margot
Marguerite
Philippa
VivienneI could take or leave the rest.
