I think of them as two very different names

Oh, you can’t call the poor boy Romeo! They do still do Shakespeare in school, you know!

I know a lot of Romans and they are all under five. There isn’t anything wrong with it, it is just in the same way that Clare is a name of the 80s I think Roman is roughly 2015- present.

Roman is really popular and I do think it will date.

Why do you think it will date? It has been in my country for ages….

What happened to Alexander, Misha, Michael, and Myron? When is the baby due?

They are still in the list for Slavic/latin/roman names… but still don’t feel the one… I envy that others make decisions so fast… I still don’t feel it. Sorry if that’s bothering you…

I really like them. Assuming the boy grows up to be cool and also goodlooking. Otherwise Romeo at least might be a bit of a curse...

I think Romeo is much nicer than Roman.

I always preferred Ronan over Roman
