I recently heard this name in a magazine. I like it but at other times I dont. Im really unsure about it. Love to know what you think of it.

This name actually has a famous literary reference. One of the 19th century British novelist George Eliot's books was called Romola after its heroine:

I'm not sure. I prefer Romana.

Was it for Romola Garai? Or whatever her name is... she's an actress. That's where I first heard the name - I personally have no idea about the actress but I love the name.

I think it's gorgeous.

I like it--it reminds me of the actress Romola Garai, who played Cassandra Mortmain in I Capture the Castle. I don't think I'd use Romola, but I think it's quite pretty. :)

Ditto on all (plus the actress is gorgeous, so that helps me see the name as pretty, too :b)
