Love it, but Polanski?

Oh I was coming on to say how lovely it is, but yeah... Polanski. I don't know if I could get that association out of my head for a while. I would eventually though.

NC543212345 · 27/03/2017 12:28

It wouldn't even occur to me.

I really like it but if you are unsure, what about Rowan?

EverythingEverywhere1234 · 27/03/2017 12:31

I love the name but would never use it myself, I'm rather traditional. I personally wouldn't link it immediately to Polanski. If pushed to link it at all, I'd link it to the utterly gorgeous Roman that I went to college with.

EmpressOfTheSpartacusOceans · 27/03/2017 12:32

I thought Polanski too.

Rowan seems like a good suggestion though?

coffeetasteslikeshit · 27/03/2017 12:34

I immediately thought of Polanski too.

Gummibears · 27/03/2017 13:02

I like it, or how about
Rowan
Quentin
Reuben
Tristan

Sophronia · 27/03/2017 13:56

Not keen

EssentialHummus · 27/03/2017 13:58

I'm keen. Round my way it's a traditional Russian name.

GuinessPunch · 27/03/2017 13:59

I wanted it. Dp said no which I'm still annoyed about as Roman suits him more than the name we have him.

Jooni · 27/03/2017 15:06

Love it

EdmundCleverClogs · 27/03/2017 15:55

Also love it, it's a big contender for our next child! Love 'R' names in general, Rowan, Robert, Ronan...

BasicBetty · 27/03/2017 16:58

Great name. No Polanski association here!

PunjanaTea · 27/03/2017 17:10

Not keen on it tbh. I've met a couple of small children whose parents are chelsea fans.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 27/03/2017 17:28

It's not bad.

CaoNiMartacus · 27/03/2017 21:05

I don't love it. Reminds me of gladiatorial combat.

QueenCassiopeia · 27/03/2017 21:46

This was on our boys list Smile love it op

Kazzawazza69 · 27/03/2017 21:50

I really like it. I've heard of Roman Polanski but can't for the life of me think who he is so he didn't immediately come to mind.

heateallthebuns · 27/03/2017 22:55

Don't like it. Sounds like trying too hard to be cool.

mycavitiesareempty · 27/03/2017 22:57

See, my first thought was holiday. Showing my age ....

Ontopofthesunset · 27/03/2017 23:00

I think of Abramovich before Polanski. I know a couple who are not Eastern European and also a couple who are.

MercyMyJewels · 27/03/2017 23:05

Polanski def. So not good, sorry

DPotter · 27/03/2017 23:07

Not keen - although I thought of Normans and Plantagenets.....

Love it.

I have "we are the Romans! We hate the Christians!" in Billy Connelly's voice going round my head - not in itself a bad thing Grin

Ignore the Polanskis. We have a Pistorius and no one has ever commented on it.

MrsJayy · 27/03/2017 23:13

Martin Kemps son is Roman think he is a tv presenter it is nice i wouldn't associate with polanski

mummytobemaybe · 28/03/2017 00:59
