Romeo

[millzcrawf]

what do you think of the name Romeo? I really like it and I think the nickname 'Rome' is quite cool and trendy. But also when the baby is toddler and baby the cute nickname 'Ro-Ro' 🤍

It's one of my favourite boy names.

Utterly awful thanks to Victoria Beckham- for those nicknames I much prefer Roman

You'll never be able to call him twice for fear of sounding like a complete dick.

(Please after hearing a woman call her kid over and over last week with everyone looking at each other trying not to piss themselves whilst simultaneously fighting the urge to finish her sent with 'Wherefore art though')

Please don’t.
Poor little sod!

How about Mercutio or Hamlet?

No no no. The best name from Romeo and Juliet is Balthazar, by miles.

I'm not being facetious by the way. I love that name!

Romeo is quite nice.

But I really dislike Rome. I wouldn't shorten it.

No.

It would be awful to be a teenage boy called Romeo. Not just due to the name as in R&J but because how the word is often used www.google.com/amp/s/www.collinsdictionary.com/amp/english/romeo

Constant piss take.

And any nickname considered ‘cool and trendy’ by someone of parent age now certainly will not seem so to a young teen in 13 years time.

It's a lot to live up to.

Romeo Dunn

Is weirdly the first thing that came to my head

Dreadful. Neither cool, or trendy. 148 born in Italy in 2019. Probably after grandfathers. I teach 300 kids and have never known one.

RoRo is the Italian nickname for Rosamaria and other Rosa+ other name combinations.

Whatever you do, don’t choose the nickname “Rome”.

I like it but then I liked Valentino too so what do I know 😁

No.

I quite like it, it's not too out there but not overly common either..Not keen on 'Rome' as a NN though

I met a Romeo pronounced Romayo once, quite liked that.

I would also need to surprises the urge to shout "wherefor art thou" if I heard someone shouting Romeo, Romeo at the park

Suppress... Although I might be surprised too!

My son is called Romeo he's 15 now and I love his name

I’d go for Roman personally.

It’s a lot to live up to in the Shakespearean context and the Beckham connection puts me off.

It’s also pronounced wrong by the British it’s actually Romayo.

I quite like it, but personally would swerve because the Shakespeare association is too much for me. It’s in the top 300 in England and Wales though, so while it’s not super popular, it is in moderate use.

I think it will blend in with all the hundreds of Romans (Rome) which is the fastest rising name
If you're wanting something a bit different then avoid this

It's nice, go for it. Probably lots of Beckhams associations though.

& Roman is also nice.

Doh. I look at Alfa Romeo and automatically hear Alfa roMAYo in my head - never occurred to me that this may be the correct Italian pronunciation of RoMEyo and Juliet...

Bloody Shakespeare.
