Boy names - brother for Roman

69 replies

Biscuitsarelife1 · 25/04/2024 09:58

Hi all,
Currently pregnant with baby number 2- sex is unknown and is being kept a surprise. We have our girl name picked out but struggling with a boy name. DS1 is called Roman. We have a short one syllable surname starting with H if that helps too!

Any suggestions much appreciated please, and any middle names to go with the first name!

TIA xxx

@Biscuitsarelife1 , but if you'd posted George or Charlie I'd have suggested Henry or Harry because George and Henry are both Royal Family names, Charlie and Harry are both diminutives of Royal names.

Other than history, I don't have a vibe for Roman. It seems modern and popular, so a modern, popular, non-traditional, not overly religious name.
The names don't have to be the same.
Roman and Sebastian are OK together but quite different.

How about Lando?

And has anyone suggested Max yet? I've never met a Max.

Goddessonahighway · 25/04/2024 14:06

Nathaniel. Nate for short.

People are suggesting names that you are offended by, Can you give an example of names that you like?

Roman and Lucas
Roman and Quinn
Roman and Miles
Roman and Blake
Roman and Cian/ Kean
Roman and Aidan
Roman is a great name

CuriousGeorge80 · 25/04/2024 13:53

Ezra is a good call, and Xander. Xavier, Theo, Arlo and Luca also come to mind.

eatdrinkandbemerry · 25/04/2024 13:47

Ezra or Jude go well with Roman.
But my all time fave is Django but my partner is boring so wouldn't let me use it 😩

I'm not 'offended' by the names you are suggesting. Individually yes the names you are suggesting are fine, there's nothing wrong with them. When you are suggesting names that are of a historical era (like Roman) to go alongside the name Roman you are clearly mocking my choice of name. I think Saxon is a great name but going alongside Roman seems like a mockery to me. The same with Norman alongside Roman- If I had said my child was called Charlie or George, you would not have suggested it. I haven't asked in the thread if you like my child's name and that wasn't what I was asking for, and I think the world would be a pretty boring place if we all called our children the same name. It's 2024, people are going to start using 'different' (tbh I don't really think Roman is that out there) names, no one's asking you to love them all but you don't need to openly voice that because it is just plain rude.

@Sweetleftfood if it was supposed to be a nasty joke it went straight over my head so absolutely no dramas here! Thank you for your response though. I definitely didn't want a traditional name either but nothing too out there! X

Isaac
Cruz
Tiago

Roman is a fab name. I know twins called Roman and Hunter.
What about Alexander, Xavier, Marcus, Asher, Cassius or Elio?

I know twins called Roman and Hunter too 😱

FayCarew · 25/04/2024 13:14

@Thorfire , nobody's criticising the name Roman. It's a very popular name right now.

Thorfire · 25/04/2024 13:01

I find MN baby name thread horrible!
It seems a lot of the time ppl just post to say they hate a name choice even when it’s not asked.
a lot of MN suggestions seem to be traditional and not to my taste so I would never be critical as I appreciate everyone had different tastes and it’s only a name!

Roman is on our list 💓 it’s a lovely strong name. We have a vowel heavy surname so it would work well.

I also like Elijah, Eli, Isaac, or how about Atticus?
For girls we like Sienna, Imogen, I also like Aurelia and Saskia but my husband isn’t sure.

I wasn't taking the piss @Biscuitsarelife1 . It's a name that fits in with the granddad-type names like Frank, Arthur and Stanley.
It has the history/archictecture theme to make it a bit in the same style as Roman.

I like Winston, but I guess you'll be offended at that too.

Grayson, Xander, Jude,

Thank you very much to everyone who is making suggestions for boy names rather than trying to be clever and bash me for my current child's name choice- very much appreciated

The perfect name for Roman's brother is Norman.

I'm glad you think it's hilarious to take the piss out of the name of a 2 year old..

I think you hit the jack pot there, love all those names and know a few of them 😀

FayCarew · 25/04/2024 11:12

Roman is likely to be a top 20 name y now, so anything in the top 50 and on a rising curve would probably go with it.
Arlo or Ezra spring to mind.

Saxon seems quite a cool name.

johntorodesfatcheeks · 25/04/2024 10:53

how about:

Lachlan
Atticus
Vincent
Micah
Tate
