[Opinions] Re: Roma?
1) Roman's Russian nickname
2) Rum (In Russian rom, in Finnish rommi)
3) Nickname for Rosemary, used by A.A. Milne.
4) Rome. In Finnish Rooma.
5) Famous Russian humourist Arkady Raikin's wife was named Ruf, but she got called RomaTo me, it is kind of weird you call Roma people "Roma" and not "Romanians" as for example Finns do (Romanialaiset). I know that in Russian "Roma people" means about 80 different ethnic groups - one of the biggest is roma, pronounced raw-MAH. Ok, all the associations are nice, and so is the name. I've thought about adding it to my PNL + I've been lately into Rom-names. A few combos:
Roma Xanthippe
Roma Viorica
Roma Océane
Roma Penelope
Roma Sylvia
Roma Lenore
Roma Evelina
Roma Winifred
Roma Cecily
Roma Clarissa
Roma Frederica
