Middle name for Roman

[savanahnana]

We’ve settled on the name Roman however for the life of us cannot agree on a middle name that blends well. I think it needs to be a fairly short middle name seeing as the first is quite strong?

Any ideas would be very grateful!

all my DC middle names are their grandparents

Holliday?

Centurion

@Divineswirls this was something we were thinking about with our previous childrens middle names but they just didn’t ‘go’ with their first names so we decided against it, so I don’t feel like we could use grandparents names this time round either.

I like Roman 😊 Are there no options that have any kind of meaning or even your second favourite name? We’re between my husband’s middle name or my grandpa’s name for our little boy’s middle name

And it’s my grandpa’s middle name we’re considering, his first name wouldn’t go at all 🙈

I would actually go slightly longer, rather than short. And look for a name than doesn't end in an/en/on.

Roman Christopher
Roman Oliver

Roman Theodore

@sarah13xx no unfortunately nothings jumping out to us and we’re really struggling to just try and force ourselves to like something it seems! If it weren’t for our other children having middle names already I’d quite happily not have one as it takes us long enough to decide a first

Roman Alexander
Roman Paul
Roman James
Roman Ellis
Roman Blake

Roman is a lovely name, what middle names have you decided against?

Empire? 🤣 Sorry OP!
Roman James
Roman Jacob
Roman Alexander

Roman James sounds just right, and balances out the less traditional first name.

Agree on something with a few syllables like the examples above. Something classic.

Christopher sounds good, likewise Oliver and Alexander. I quite like James with it actually

Villa?

I was going to say Roman James too!

I've taught a Roman before, lovely lad.

The first name that popped into my head was Alexander and I've seen a few pp have said that too!

@savanahnana do your other children’s middle names have a meaning or just a name you picked? I found it really easy to think of girl’s middle names but when we found out it was a boy I had no clue 🤦🏼‍♀️ My grandpa died last year and I didn’t even know what his middle name was but when I heard it I thought that’s actually really nice so it’s a possibility! Also heard of people using special place names etc

I did quite like Roman Jude but it was a big no from DH. His suggestions are just absolutely ridiculous sounding as he chooses a middle name but doesn’t think of it going with the first and last name.

I quite like the suggestion of Roman Ellis actually!

Roman James
Roman John

Are there any other family names that could be carried on? Great grandparent etc?

@KezzabellaB I was full on prepared for such comments 😂

@sarah13xx No our other children’s middle names we’re just names we happened to like that went with the first, kind of our second choice names I guess that happened to sound nice together.

I do think maybe it needs to be a bit of a classic name too, where as a lot of DH suggestion are a bit too modern/quirky to go with it.

Without sounding harsh, both our parents/grandparents names are not the nicest so that rules that one out..

I do like Roman Alexander too, I haven't suggested that to DH so I'll keep that as an idea!
