Personal experiences with the name Romy: | Edit

I have an amazing cousin named Romy. Her original name was Ruby Frances but that was really confusing because my sister's name is also Ruby. It was changed to Romy so that my then baby cousin would not notice the change. She was always more of a Romy anyways and she is a beautiful person.

Romy has been a huge hit in Israel over the past decade.
I know 5 Romys who were born within the last 6 years.
