What do you think of Roman????

[websticks]

I am currently 11 days over due and expecting a boy, Being induced tomorrow but still no name. Dp likes Tarquin (which i hate) We both like finlay (but very popular) yesterday someone suggested Roman and we both quiet like it, but not sure what others will think of it, opinions please?

I love this name but my DH doesn't so it's been removed from my list sadly :(

I haven't heard it before as a name, but I think it will suit both a child and a man. I quite like it.

If you both like it and you should use it. I think it is much much better than Tarquin. Also better than Finlay as this names confuses me, some say 'Fin-lay' and others 'Fin-lee'.

Actually I have heard it before- from Days of our lives!

it's awful

Much better than Tarquin.

Agree with Tebbles about Finlay. What about Finn?

Prefer Roman to Tarquin

Good luck tomorrow, hope it goes well!

Tarquin, Finlay and Roman are all such very different names though, aren't they? Totally different feel to each of them.

Spelt Romain in french for a boy

Thats the problem we have with finlay, i say finlay dp says fin-lee. I would shortern it to Finn but dp doesn't like it! Its going to be the baby with no name!

I always thought it was Fin-lay, like the Home and Away (teenage girl) character from years ago and then all the baby Finlay boys started being born and some were being called 'Fin-lee'.

Now I sound like a big soap fan, although Im not really I'm just good at remembering names.

I love Finlay and Finn, not so keen on Roman and hate Tarquin.

How about: Torin, Calum, Marcus, Malachi, Mordecai or Alfie.

Annonimous, Dp likes Marcus i am not so sure and Ds1 likes Alfie but its very popular where we live.

I like Roman. Finlay is ubiquitous and a bit, maybe, chav?

Much better than Tarquin

Thanks vinvinoveritas, will check that out. My friends son is called Leon so that rules that one out.
Ds1 is called Lucas so need a name that goes with that, and just dont think Marcus does

I think Roman and Lucus go really nicely together as brothers.

mmmmmm Maybe the Lucas and Marcus combo is a bit too Roman and historic, now you mention it.

What about: Simon, Sam, Daniel or Mark.

I like Roman, and know one (age 11) in RL. I would associate it with Russian/Slav background (like Roman Abramovic - are youChelsea supporters?)

The other problem i have that i work in a nursery and have done for 15 years. so every name reminds me of some 'little darling' and some puts me off.
I have never come across a Roman so i think thats why it appeals

I like Roman. I think that it will become quite popular

I would think
a) you are Italian/ have Italian family
b) ds was conceived in Rome
or c) you are very pretentious

Sorry. But you did ask.

i like it and know several Roman's in RL. 3 of them are travellers and its quite a common name with them.

As you can't use Marcus what about Marco?
