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!

Another vote for Alexander.

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.
