Romola and Mirabelle

I recently heard the name Romola and thought it was interesting. It is derived from Romulus so I am assuming that it is pronounced RAHM-o-la, or some variation of that. Does anyone know? What do you think of this name in general? I do like Ramona and have been thinking about Romaine. What do you think of these?

Mirabelle has caught my attention as well. I'm not sure if I like the -belle or -bel spelling better. Opinions are needed! Thank you!

I think Romola Garai pronounces her name roh-MOH-lah, though I could be mistaken. I like it all right for someone else--more than I do Romaine--but I far prefer Ramona.

Mirabel(le) is quite nice, but again, I prefer it for someone else.

Romola - I'm pretty sure it's pronounced rom-OL-a. I prefer Romulus for a boy.
Ramona - I can't get the image of the children's book character out of my head.
Romaine - ...as in lettuce.
Mirabel - Too frilly for me but I prefer this spelling.

Romola looks to me like some sort of brand of telephone or electronic doodads. I like Ramona a lot better, and I'd like Romaine if I didn't instantly think of lettuce. As for Mirabelle, I really like it, but I prefer the spelling Mirabel.

Romola is very nice, I think of the actress Romola Garai, as that is the only person I have ever heard it on. I would pronounce it roh-MOH-la

Ramona & Romaine are okay, but I like Romola better.
Roma, Romana, Romina are also nice, and I love Romy.

Mirabelle is gorgeous! One of my favorite names, I definitely prefer the spelling Mirabelle over Mirabel. Mirabel looks incomplete to me, however most people will say that Mirabelle is "frilly".

Romola is a latin name meaning "lady of Rome" and is also the title and name of a George Elliot novel. I like it too.
I also like Mirabel/ Mirabelle very cute.
