Roman

[Viletta]

What are your thoughts on the name Roman?

I adore it! So much it makes me slightly broody...

I know siblings Roman, Marius and Dorcas - not Greek or Roman, just like Classical names.

Roman is a nice name and could be be Ro for short. Romy is a girl's name. Remy is another nice name it's unisex but the Y spelling seems more popular for boys and the Remi spelling for girls.

Dorcas is lovely.

They could well get called Dork for short though

I know three now, still love it and love RoRo

Dorcas is a girl’s name - it’s the Greek version of Tabitha.
Don’t like Roman at all I’m afraid, at least for people without a connection to the cultures in which it’s an established classic.

I know an adult Dorcas and afaik she doesn't.

My baby daughter is called Rowan with a W. I must say it does get confusing with all the Roman, Rowan (and Rohans, Ronan's) about. There's actually 2 baby Roman's at our small local nursery, so it's definitely much popular than it was a couple of years ago if that bothers you.
I get asked "is that Ro_an with an M or W" a lot more than I expected to be honest but I hadn't checked the statistics properly when I picked the name ... and these things may not bother you anyway.
Ronnie is a nice name in its own right. There's way more babies registered as Ronnie than Ronald these days anyway.

When's baby due? Best of luck with it all. Naming babies is hard.

Not a name I like but it's booming in popularity so many others must love it and I must be in the minority.
I agree with earlier comment that it's a very "OK! Magazine" name. Quite a lot of D-listers picking the name it seems, but that doesn't make it a bad name.
I prefer Ronnie.

Pretty popular where I come from but I don't really like it. Maybe because at school i had a crush on Roman who turned out to be an arsehole.

Yes, Dorcas is a girl.
