    While I prefer Roma, I don't think it goes particularly well with the surname. I love Grace with Gracie as the name you call her.

    Roma is a gypsy, and Roma Wright sounds like an air freshener.
    Daisy or Grace/Gracie are ok, but very common.

    But hey, it's your daughter, choose the name you like and that suits her.

    Of your choices I would go with Grace (not Gracie, but Gracie at home). Grace keeps her doors open.

    My little girl is a Grace but we always call her gracie.

    Do you really care what strangers on a internet forum think though? Surely its a decision for you and your partner to make?

    Obviously, as she wouldn't be on here asking :D

    Doesn't she get cold?

    I like the first two, Roma wright sounds like you could be saying 'wrong or right', but we could nitpick about all names.


    Happy moneysaving all.

    I applaud her for asking, if more people did perhaps there would be fewer dreadful names out there :rotfl:

    What is dreadful to you is a perfect name to somebody else, everybody is different. It just seems to be the way lots of people are now a days, they can't make decisions without asking total strangers online first. I'm all for asking advice, but when naming our little girl it was my wife and I who decided and some random poster on an internet forum wouldn't have influenced my decision at all.

    Yes but the OP obviously IS going to take on board what 'some random strangers on the internet' think, otherwise she would not have bothered posting in the first place. If you would not give a fluff about the forum members views, then that is your call, but clearly, the OP 'does' give a damn what people on here think.

    Also, many people here have similar views too, which is a good guide for her. I would not hesitate to ask what people on here thought. Whether I would take the majority view, would remain to be seen, but I see no harm in asking.

    Hi guys,
    Just to let you know that we are making our final choice tonight, it's been really difficult to choose.
    It's between, in preference order.
    Daisy
    Gracie
    Roma
    Our surname is wright
    What do you think about these?
    Thanks

    Out of the 3 it would HAVE to be Daisy.

    Roma: no, just no. It doesn't go with Wright, and it's a name for gypsies. And before anyone jumps on me: anyone who has a name that means gypsies is going to have a difficult life. Especially at school. Gracie - not fond of that Grace is 'ok' for a little girl, but I am not a fan of Gracie.

    Daisy is cute. Not Daisy BOO though! :)

    Let us know what you decide.
