Middle name for Roman

52 replies

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!

Love Roman. What are DH’s suggestions?

AnneTwackie · 02/05/2021 20:27

Any authors, actors, scientists, inventors, environmentalists etc you admire? Any names further back in your family tree?
We have a Roman, his middle name is Henry after my mum’s favourite uncle.

Candle?

I struggle with Roman as a name. Isn’t Ronan the proper name? Roman sounds a bit chavvy in my opinion.... (sorry!)

savanahnana · 02/05/2021 21:12

Some great suggestions on here that I wouldn't of even thought of thanks!

I understand not everyone will like the name, but at the end of the day if we all had the same taste in names it would be very boring!

3 syllable names seem to work well.

Just to reassure you, (or possibly horrify you) my DH works in a school where the fees are upwards of £20k and there are several Romans.

OP didn't ask for your opinion on Roman, she asked for suggestions on a middle name.

Roman Miles.
Miles is the latin word for soldier, so could be a cheeky private joke Wink iyswim.

Seriously, can't you have ronan instead?

@Mrspimplepopper

Fort Remains Road

Seriously, can't you have ronan instead?

Why?

Why should we choose a different name from the one we love just because someone else doesn't like it? Confused

Are you looking for a Latin name or not?

Usernamenotavailabletryanother · 02/05/2021 22:52

Roman is a traditional Russian and Polish name. It’s not a misspelling of Ronan.

How have people not heard of Roman as a name?

savanahnana · 03/05/2021 14:44

Well Roman Alexander has been ruled out by DH, so back to looking through the suggestions!

No middle name suggestions but I've taught a few Romans and they are all pretty middle class. And yes, it's a Russian name, so not exactly "made up".

I think it sounds nicer than Ronan.
