Roman for a name?

[alltummy]

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.

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

Love it.

I don't like it.

I like it, goes well with Autumn too

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 ☺️

I like it

Lovely and goes well with Autumn.

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

I really like it.

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

My friends son is called Roman its growing in popularity

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

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

I like it very much.

I think Roman Abramovich.

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

Love it. Currently pregnant and it's on our list if it's a boy.

I like it! Unusual but not unheard of. Really strong sounding too

I like it. I had a friend at school called roman, his family was east European.

I prefer Rowan but it’s ok - quite nice

Martin Kemp's adult son is Roman. He's a radio host.

I think it's a cool name. If you both like it you should go for it.

By the way- it's fairly common in eastern Europe but not hugely popular afaik. I lived in Russia for a few years and didn't meet a whole lot of Romans. Akeksandr, Dmitriy and Andrey by the dozen, but not Roman. When I left the trend was with older slavic names such as Vsevolod, Vladislav, Gordey or Elisey.

Martin Kemp and Melanie Sykes both have sons called Roman.

I think it's a lovely strong boys name.
