Hello! 
I love the name [name_u]Roma[/name_u]. I love the sound, the spelling, and how interesting and uncommon it is. But I was wondering what associations people might have with it (especially because its a type of tomato!). So I would appreciate any opinions that you guys have about this name, thank you in advance! 
Iāve come across this name before! It was in a book, although I cannot remember what the book was calledā¦it was fictional, about a young girl who was rescued/technically kidnapped by a man who raised her like his own. The girlās biological grandmother loved the biblical book of Romans, so had nicknamed the girl ā[name_u]Roma[/name_u]ā, just as a little pet name. That would be my first association, and I donāt consider it a bad one 
I didnāt even think about the tomato until afterwards!
Anyhow, back to the nameā¦I actually really like it! It is unusual, feminine without being too long or frilly, is easy to spell, and is different-but-not-crazy. I can see it on a sweet little girl and a spunky old lady, so the name seems to age well, in my opinion. The only downside I can think of (unless the tomato counts) is that people may mistake it for the boyās name [name_m]Roman[/name_m], but just a simple correction should suffice. I think this one should stay on your list
I like it! Itās sweet and different but not too out there; easy and intuitive to say and pronounce and really cute! The only association I really get from it is [name_u]Roma[/name_u] Gypsies, but I wouldnāt say it was a negative association at all-it just makes the name sound a little mysterious and cultured for me.
The only possible negative is that it could get easily confused with [name_f]Rosa[/name_f] or [name_m]Roman[/name_m], but I really donāt think that would be too big a deal. A great name to have on your list I think!
Itās all tomato for me.
Iād never really thought about using [name_u]Roma[/name_u] as a name, but itās simple, has a familiar sound, and is feminine without being frilly. I like it! My first association is that [name_u]Roma[/name_u] is the Italian name for [name_m]Rome[/name_m], and if I met a girl named [name_u]Roma[/name_u] I would wonder if her family had any connection to [name_m]Rome[/name_m]/[name_f]Italy[/name_f]. (Though I donāt think [name_u]Roma[/name_u] is used as a name there.)
I think it may be doable, but obviously very Italian in nature. The verb āto roamā will also be associated
I thought of the tomato first, then I thought that maybe it was Italian for [name_m]Rome[/name_m]. Not a bad name, sounds like a nn for a longer name (I just cant think of one off the top of my head except maybe [name_f]Ramona[/name_f])
In Europe, the Gypsies are now referred to as the [name_u]Roma[/name_u], so this is something to consider.
On the [name_f]East[/name_f] Coast of the US, roma tomatoes are called plum tomatoes, so here there is no tomato association.
I wish I didnāt associate it with tomatoes, because it really is such a pretty name. But tomato isnāt a bad nicknameā¦ I think sheād get teased. 
Itās interesting and whimsical
It looked Italian at first glance, which makes sense. There is the tomato association (and I love tomatoes, so itās not bad), but I doubt people will think of that. Itās truly a beautiful name, so I say go for it!
Besides, there are tons of girls named [name_f]Clementine[/name_f]. Food names are (mostly) all the same to me.
I like the name [name_u]Roma[/name_u]. In the 70ās, i went to school with a girl named [name_u]Roma[/name_u] & classmates all thought it was weird. But in todayās world, names like [name_f]Nova[/name_f] and [name_f]Luna[/name_f] are all the rage, so [name_u]Roma[/name_u] should fit right in.
I love it. The first time I heard it I was like, āWTF, why name your daughter after a tomato?ā But over time itās grown on me. I like the sound, the simplicity, and the meaning. Plus I do love tomatoes
It seems like many of you do like it, so I will definitely keep the name on my list! Thank you all for your opinions!
Would you consider [name_f]Romola[/name_f]?
I lived in the UK for five years, and [name_u]Roma[/name_u] is what the Gypsies are called. The [name_u]Roma[/name_u] are not welcome in many areas there and in the rest of Europe. The word has negative connotations there.
[name_f]Susan[/name_f]
Since I really donāt like tomatoes, that isnāt the first thing I thought of. In fact my first thought was the [name_u]Dean[/name_u] [name_m]Martin[/name_m] song, An [name_f]Evening[/name_f] in [name_u]Roma[/name_u], which is kind of a weird association with a name but not really a bad one.
<<ā¦Roma is what the Gypsies are called. The Roma are not welcome in many areas there and in the rest of Europe. The word has negative connotations there.>>
I tried to put it more delicately, but yes, this. Please consider this before using the name.
Iām Romanian, and I can tell you that if any of my relatives heard that someone named their child ā[name_u]Roma[/name_u]ā they would have a heart attack. In Romania and much of Eastern Europe, they refer to gypsies as the [name_u]Roma[/name_u]. For many people this is an extremely negative association (although I personally donāt have their prejudice). I think it is worth considering that this may raise some eyebrows from more people than youād expect, and they might make negative associations with your child because of her name. Overall, I would advise against this as a first name.
