Griffin, Roman or Milo?

DS is due in two weeks and I keep changing my mind about names, hormones are definitely not helping.
Griffin - DHs favourite, I'm not sure if it sounds a bit harsh? But love how unique it is.
Milo I adore but is it too cliche?

I like Roman best, with Milo second.

Griffin sounds more like brand name for climbing gear or strong elastic to me.

Oh no, not Roman. Many people will just associate it with Roman Polanski. And tbh it sounds a bit...off...as a name, even separated from him. I wouldn't call a child Greek or Egyptian.

Milo isn't particularly great either but the one I like best out of your names. It does remind me of that annoying tweenies character but is that show even on tv any more?

Griffin...a bird, a gargoyle or Peter Griffin. Not to my tastes. But still better than Roman!

Oooh thanks CrystalMcPistol, glad there's some rationale behind my association

Thanks everyone. We have vetoed Roman so he will be either Griffin or Milo, have a feeling we may end up testing them out as suggested once he is born... Hopefully one or the other will 'suit' more.
