Not really dead set on these names but I really like them for now, it's for a boy, I'm currently leaning towards Paris but it changes by the day, opinions are also welcome.

Paris is a girl's name

MrsFoxPlus4 · 06/12/2018 15:07

Romeo, I like it :)

lebkuchenlover · 06/12/2018 12:30

Of the two options, I much prefer Romeo.

MummyBearRose · 05/12/2018 21:56

Romeo is so cute👶🏽

ParisDavies8 · 05/12/2018 21:52

What did you chose, just wondering?

LouLou030783 · 03/01/2016 10:37

SanityClause U do realise Hilton is her family surname the Grampa owns the Hilton hotels names after himself, the parents didn't choose to call her Paris Hilton that is her surname Grin

No, bloody awful! And will date horribly.

Oh, absolutely. Either will instantly date your DS as a child of the early 1590s.

Like Paris, cooler than Romeo. DS1 was at school with Adonis - very very cool and XH worked with Mars (he was American).

How about Roman if you're not dead set on romeo for trasing reasons?

MissAlabamaWhitman · 02/01/2016 14:31

Mercutio?

aoife24 · 02/01/2016 04:54

Isn't this just another wind up, pushes all the more prim mumsnetter buttons?

PrimalLass · 01/01/2016 15:54

Neither

IoraRua · 01/01/2016 15:05

Considering Polanskis been in the news over the last few months over an extradition, yeah it's pretty fresh.

What about Ronan or Rohan, op?

Vixxfacee · 01/01/2016 09:21

Roman or Rome?

HortonWho · 01/01/2016 09:16

You wouldn't name a baby Roman because of an 80 something year old man? How is it fresh, he's been a known sex offender for 30 years and still managed to make lots of award-winning movies in Hollywood. Now maybe if she wanted to call him Mel, you'd have a point Grin

IoraRua · 01/01/2016 03:07

Romeo - the Beckhams or the Shakespeare character. No. Just no.

Roman - Polanski, the people or a nose to me. Isn't Polanski a sex offender? I'd avoid as it's very fresh in peoples minds. However it is marginally better than Romeo...

Sallyhasleftthebuilding · 01/01/2016 00:27

Theres Rowan and Ronan.

Okay, I think Paris has been pushed off the list, I really like Romeo, I think it's a rather lovely name, Roman is also a contender but DH says it reminds him of the Chelsea owner, who he seems to really dislike Hmm

Happy New Year Everyone

It's Romeo and before you judge my situation, I am my nephew's full time carer, thank you very much.

PunkrockerGirl · 31/12/2015 23:02

If it's the Shakespeare theme you're after:
Tybalt, Henry, Macbeth, Julius, Marc, Iago, Bottom, Puck, Othello, Antonio, Henry
All equally wank for children's names, as are Romeo and Paris Confused

PotteringAlong · 31/12/2015 22:44

If you're leaning towards one of them, how about Pisa?

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 31/12/2015 22:43

Paris.

SugarDiabetes · 31/12/2015 22:43

OP, how about Tobias, Conrad, Mallory, McCarthy?
