[Opinions] Is Roma too far-fetched?
Roma is another name I like but I currently don't feel enough connection to Rome or Italy to use it.

Roma as a nick for Rosamund? No, I don't think it is farfetched. It's sort of on the same level as Carly for Caroline; and it's sweet and affectionate sounding in relation to Rosamund. Only thing about it is, as you say, the Rome connection - but I think metropolis names are 'normal' enough you could use Roma and not have it "mean" Rome. Don't like Romy / Romie, eh? I know what you mean - it takes a certain sort of girl (who's definitely NOT like the one in the film) to wear this name well. Have to see what she's like, I guess. - chazda
