I was watching Suffragette yesterday (it was great!) and one of the actresses in the movie is Romola Garai, whom I had never heard of before. I really like the name Romola, it's both strong and sweet. The only thing I don't like about it is that it sounds a bit like Rommel...
WDYT about Romola?

I like it in theory, but I'd feel awkward saying it. I think the sound reminds me too much of 'mula' (slang for money).

I say it like Ramallah, Palestine.

I like the name Romola, it's a strong and confident name.

The actress is good - I liked her in Emma, I Capture the Castle, and Atonement.

I adore Romola! It's brassy and sophisticated, which are my two favorite onomastic qualities.

it sounds like something to eat

Like some kind of soft cheese or maybe coffee creamer.

I've liked the name Romola since I saw her in film rendition of Vanity Fair.

I think its pretty without being overly feminine.
