[Opinions] This name
in reply to a message by Mareasi
I feel like Romilly is a sleeper fave. I've seen it here and there and I'm very curious about it. Where is it from, what does it mean? I know Emma Thompson's daughter is Gaia Romilly.
I say it like "Rommel-ee". I like to look at it, but I find it awkward to say. It's one of my look-but-don't-touch names.

I feel like it narrowly missed a trend, too - Romy plus Emily/Amelie, it could have been a contender. It's a surname-name from a French placename, there's a decent user entry on here for it. It is quite attractive, but doesn't have enough history as a first name for me.
What does "sleeper fave" mean?
I mean it seems sort of secretly popular, and likely to heat up once more people discover it.
This sounds right
When I first came to this site a few years ago, I was seeing it all over the polls (and maybe the boards, I don't remember).
