Boy names - brother for Roman

Biscuitsarelife1 · 25/04/2024 09:58

Hi all,
Currently pregnant with baby number 2- sex is unknown and is being kept a surprise. We have our girl name picked out but struggling with a boy name. DS1 is called Roman. We have a short one syllable surname starting with H if that helps too!

Any suggestions much appreciated please, and any middle names to go with the first name!

TIA xxx

What a horrible response up there, I like Roman, think it's a great name (my son has a friend called Roman)

I wouldn't go traditional like Henry, Harry, Harrison, Jack, Charlie etc

What about Eamon, Aubrey or Frank, Francis, Niels, Miles

Biscuitsarelife1 · 25/04/2024 10:06

@Sweetleftfood if it was supposed to be a nasty joke it went straight over my head so absolutely no dramas here! Thank you for your response though. I definitely didn't want a traditional name either but nothing too out there! X

I'm not being horrible but I genuinely think Saxon is a great name. If Roman is acceptable, why not Saxon? I don't think it would be a great idea for you though OP! Are you wanting some kind of connection with the name Roman? How about a Romanic name eg Lucius or Marcus?

Troy

Els1e · 25/04/2024 10:14

Or Alexander.

God I wish I hadn't asked now, I don't understand why people on here are so rude? I didn't ask you to take the piss out of my child's name, I simply needed some boy name suggestions but obviously that's too much to ask! I'll be deleting thread, thanks for the one sensible answer..

All I can think of is Kendall and Roman from the show Succession!

I think Roman is a great name...what about a name from the classics like Hector?

MavisPennies · 25/04/2024 10:19

Sorry, wasn't meaning to be a dick.

ISeeTheLight · 25/04/2024 10:23

Roman is a great name. People are seriously rude.
I'd go with something classic. E.g.
Arthur
Theodore
Henry
John
Jasper
Lucas
Samuel
Joseph
Alexander
Xavier
Clement

MonsieurSpade · 25/04/2024 10:28

I like Piers or Hugo to go with Roman. Zander is nice.

My dn is Logan but that’s a bit too matchy with Roman.

geoger · 25/04/2024 10:36

Roman is a fab name. I know twins called Roman and Hunter.
What about Alexander, Xavier, Marcus, Asher, Cassius or Elio?

Koby
Milo
Ezra
Jonah
Micah
Leo
Arlo
Asher
Archer
Jasper
Flynn
Dexter
Ashton
Rio
Silas
Cyrus
Lucian

If that was addressed to me, you misunderstood the tone of my post. I wasn't criticising your choice of name. I was agreeing with you that non traditional names can work well. And my suggestions were genuine too but obviously not to your taste. Ah well, let's put it down to miscommunication.

Not normally one of my top boys names, but Ezra mentioned above would work gorgeously with it. Roman and Ezra. Or Roman and Milo.

johntorodesfatcheeks · 25/04/2024 10:53

i quite like Roman

how about:

Lachlan
Atticus
Vincent
Micah
Tate
Blake

FayCarew · 25/04/2024 11:12

Roman is likely to be a top 20 name y now, so anything in the top 50 and on a rising curve would probably go with it.
Arlo or Ezra spring to mind.

Saxon seems quite a cool name.

The perfect name for Roman's brother is Norman.

The perfect name for Roman's brother is Norman.

I'm glad you think it's hilarious to take the piss out of the name of a 2 year old..
