sounds like a librarian but actually i quite like it in theory. It's not at all offensive.

I actually quite like Roma. I think it makes a nice name for a girl. It's not common, yet it isn't totally unheard of either.

Not sure I like Roma. I like the idea of Rome though for a boy. I like the suggestion someone else made of Romina or Romine for a girl.

This is just Italian for Rome for me. It looks like the kind of name Fascist nostalgic parents would pick.

I've been reading about the Romani lately,

so I think of that, as they are often called the Roma. So it doesn't work for me.

Roma is another word for gypsy, so in that way I don't like it, but I love Rome and it has a nice sound

It reminds me too much of the Roma (people)

And as I'm not Roma myself, I personally wouldn't use it.

I prefer Romina :)

It's fine for someone else. It's both pretty and distinctive, although too placey for me.

---

I love Romina though :)

I don't like it. It would probably aquire the nn Romy, which I don't like either.

Roma itself sounds like a nn. Maybe that's why I don't like it. Maybe you should use it as a nn.

I like it, but prefer Roman for a boy. [I couldn't use both, could I?]

definitely one of the prettier place names I've heard although I'm generally not fond of them. It is also connected to the tomato which I guess isn't too bad of an association. So yeah, it's pretty nice if paired with something a little longer and feminine.

I don't like it because Roma is Italian for Rome, the capital of Italy which then reminds me of the horrible teacher I had to teach me Italian.
