Isaac , Henry or Roman?

[cheekster]

We have found it really hard to decide upon a name for DS2 but we have eventually come to the decision that he will be called either Henry, Roman or Isaac.

His middle name will be Stan / Stanley - surname one syllable beginning with S.

He will be brother to Noah Simon

Which do you prefer

Isaac Stanley or
Roman Stanley or
Henry Stanley

I really like Isaac Stanley :)

I think all three are nice names. Personally I've always chosen from family names before conception (it's taken a while to conceive)! However, I have always had a leaning towards 'Isaac' (even though not a family name) because it means laughter, which I really love the idea of.

Isaac is a great name. If I was a bit more mainstream I'd use it. Personally Roman is a no for me because we had this awful French student to stay once called Roman and everyone hated him. Henry is a good traditional name and totally unoffensive.

I love all these names and were on my shortlist, even called my bump Stanley for a while! We called our son Henry and I love it, it really suits him! However, as you are having Stanley as a middle name, I would choose Isaac as a first. Just seems to flow better!

I like Henry but it doesnt flow that well with Stanly so I'd go for Issac Stanley too, Roman is okay but I'm not a huge fan (too many flash backs to a Days of Our Lives stage I went thru when on hols from Uni!!!)

Henry is lovely. Not so keen on the others.

But Henry Stanley sounds awkward.

I love Roman, but it doesn't flow with Stanley, so I'd go Isaac - Isaac and Noah is pleasingly Old Testament too

Love Roman

Henry Stanley does not sound good as both end in Y which is quite rare for boys names anyway and it just doesn't flow IMO.

Roman definitely.

Issac for sure- as it just seems so suited to Stanley.

I love Henry, but really doesnt work with the mn

Roman works, but im not keen on the name

Thanks for all your comments

For those of you who pointed out - I do see your point, Henry Stanley doesnt sound great together.

But then I really dont want to rule out a name because it doesnt flow well with the middle name.

So Stanley could possibly be changed for one of the other names e.g. Henry Issac.

TBH - we are just hoping to agree on a first name to begin with - we would like to use Stanley as it is a family name but this isnt essential.

Thanks keep your comments coming

I love the name Henry - really classic.

Love Roman (but am biased!)

I still think you should go with Issac Stanley

Roman. It doesn't flow all that well with Stanley, but are you EVER going to actually call him "Roman Stanley"?

Issac is a lovely name, not fond of Zac when it is shortened but love Issac.

We have a one year old son called Isaac and I absolutely love the name, it goes really well with Noah (another of our choices!!) It is both conventional and groovy iyswim. I say go for Isaac.

Henry is a fab name but doesn't work with Stanley IMO.

Henry Isaac would be lovely. Isaac Stanley also sounds great.

Less keen on Roman.

I really like Isacc - with Isa as nickname (for which DH says I'm mad due to obvious saving accounts comparison)

Roman definately.

Henry is dull and doesn't flow well with Stanely. Isaac is nice too but I prefer Roman.

I love Isaac - but i would do my littel boy is called that!

Also like Henry... not keen on Roman i'm afraid.

Isaac Stanley is my choice! And Isaac means laughter - wi=hich sums up my lovely son wonderfully!

Love Roman

Not keen on the other two..

I like Henry best from your list, but I think Isaac flows best with Stanley.
