Romée - I love this one! It's pretty chic.
Romy - it's quite cute, and I like it both as a full name or a diminutive. I also like Romi and Romie.
Ruby - not my favorite gemstone name, but it's alright. It's refreshing.
Rosalind - I used to like it a lot, but have lost fondness. I now like Rosaline because it sounds softer.
Rosalia - not bad, but I prefer Rosalie.
Rose - pretty. It should be more popular.
Rain and Raine - Rain is lovely, but Raine looks mispelt. I think it works as a nickname for Lorraine.
Rory - not crazy about it, but it's alright. Only on a boy, though.
Ross - not a fan, it's bland and dated.
Ryland - it's better than most modern English names, but looks better as Rylan.
Ronny or Ronnie - not a fan, it's old-fashioned.
Ryker and Ryder - I dislike both of them, they don't have any charm.
Richard - a nice classic.

Romee - I don't think I can pronounce this properly. The BTN enunciation key says "EH" as in care and bet, but like... they don't sound similar enough to me. So I don't know how to say it. If it really is "eh" as in "meh", I don't like it.
Ruby and Rosalind are nice.
I like Raine, Ross, and Ryland.
I don't like Ronnie, Ryder, Ryker or Rory. They sound unpleasant.
I love Rosalia and Rain.
Richard is fine, but there are classic names that I like much better.
These aren't suggestions, these are just what I like:
Ryan
Roy
Royce
Reese (I prefer this spelling. I'm not Welsh and have no incentive to spell it as Rhys.)
Robin
Raven
Raymond
Raylen
Roland
Richmond
Rhiannon
Rochelle
Rio
Risa
Rika
Rui
Rosaria
Rosario
Rosalio
Rosa
Rosabelle
Rosabella

The "EH" pronunciation key irks me because I think care and bet are pronounced with different vowel sounds.
R messes up other vowels... there's probably a word for it. ?? They are technically different, but I think when there is an R after the long A like in care, it comes out sounding pretty much like the vowel in bet. If you say bare and bear the same - that's what I mean. Also consider the surname Behr, which presumably has the same vowel as bet in it, but sounds just like bear.
