Roman for a name?

Roman is pretty much the only name my DH and I both like. I have some I love more but he won't entertain them. What do you all think of Roman? We have an Autumn already.

I like it

I know 5 aged between 2 and 13. Quite like it but not keen on "Ro/Rome" as a nn.

I like it.

DestinyIsCallingMe · 01/06/2019 20:54

I think Roman Abramovich.

AdaColeman · 01/06/2019 20:48

I like it very much.

It’s a solid, well-used name in Russia and EE, pronounced Román. I’m not a fan of the English version.

I’m not sure.

I think of Roman Polanski or Nicki Minaj’s Roman Zolanski or her Roman songs.

It’s definitely not a bad name but just seems meh

My friends son is called Roman its growing in popularity

Hairyheadphones · 01/06/2019 20:42

I really like it.

I’ve met two, one a Polish man and the other a child with a sister called Sailor.

The only Roman I’ve heard of is Roman Polanski, the film director who allegedly raped a13 year old. Not a great association!

Lovely and goes well with Autumn.

My son is called Roman, we’ve never met another yet. We love it but older relatives don’t seem to and some people say Ronan! I think it’s a lovely name ☺️

Peachbubble · 01/06/2019 20:36

I like it, goes well with Autumn too

mindproject · 01/06/2019 20:34

I don't like it.

StrongleBerry · 01/06/2019 20:32

Love it.

Like it and it goes well with Autumn. Both cool and a bit unusual but not too out there.
