Roman/Romeo as a boy name?

[Tkoko]

How do you like that?

I’ve already told you why I don’t like those two names. The reasons I gave would not apply to other names. You don’t have to agree with me.

@anotherwordforit , some names say something like 'risk-averse, university-educated parents, probably in a profession like teaching ' or something.
Some names say 'probably teenage parents in a lower income bracket' etc

Like it or not, some people judge.

When are you due @Tkoko? Absolutely sure it’s a boy?

Which race would it be a slur against?

so roman is a name for uneducated parents? Romeo I totally agree … it was more of a nickname for Roman… but don’t have that feeling about Roman…

OP ..this thread reads like an A level teachers comments!! You keep asking people to give examples and explain things. It’s just opinions about names..they dont have to show the methodology!

Very much Human! I know it's not to everyones taste. Boring if we all had the same taste. Wouldn't change his name for the world 💗

If you love it, great. I'm trying to name a kitten, hence my comment. Not sure if it's a he or a she yet, but I think it's a he.

It has totally different connotations in the UK to Slavic countries, which is why you don't have the same feeling about it. I guess in Slavic countries it's classic, traditional- something more like Edward is here. Whereas Roman is only very recently popular in the UK.

Names that are very popular very quickly tend to date fast. Not necessarily a bad thing in my opinion, but a safer more conservative option in the UK would be something like Thomas, Henry, Edward, Joseph, James, Oliver and (of course;)) Alexander.

Romany.
Also Irish Travellers who (apologies if I'm wrong) are different to Romany people.

@Tkoko I think you are really over thinking this.
Can you imagine yourself in a park shouting out "Roman...come on we need to go home now" ?
If yes....call your baby Roman.
You like the name. I assume his Dad does. Easy to spell, Easy to pronounce.
There might be other boys called Roman at school with him or he might be the only one.
It's a perfectly nice normal name.

@JellyBeanSpring25 , OP doesn't appear to want to answer that question.

@Needmorelego , chav isn't a racist term but it is derogatory.

@ClareVoiance unfortunately the way the word has evolved is can be considered both racist and derogatory.
I wish people would just stop using it 🙁

I know a little girl, her parents called her London, it doesn't really have a pretty sound to it I don't think but who am I to judge? It's the child's name the parents are happy with it and the child is happy with it and who else is there to please?
I still think Roman is a nice name I know a little lad called Roman and I also know the father of one of my DHS friend is Roman.
Romeo is a little too poetic is that the right word?
But Roman is a strong masculine name.

Which question?

@Tkoko , when is the baby due?

He is here already

Congratulations! How old is he?

1 month

Thanks a lot, i am overwhelmed with the comments, and i do listen to them because i did find it difficult choosing a name, not with my daughter previously but with my son this time.

So you need a name in two weeks? No pressure then.
How about:
Amadeo
Armando
Konstantin
Octavian
Levin?

Yes( and i don't find the perfect one, so frustrating....
I love Constantine but in my culture it has a short name Kostya/Kostik for it or in coubtry where i live its Kosta.....its not that beautiful for me...because i was searching for the name that are cross cultural...exist both in my culture and international more or less...

Awww congratulations 👶
Tomorrow morning get him up with a big cheery "Good Morning Roman" and see how it feels.

If you want to play it safe OP, there is always the popular, but not overly so, name Alexander, popular in many cultures including Slavic, Latino, Greek and British.
It has a lot of shortened versions that are really nice it's a very versatile name.
Strong, masculine, easy to spell, easy to say, with lots of various nicknames.

Oh i know! I was trying to fall in love with it....it is just not for me...Alexander sounds like too much for my DH, and in my culture its nickname would be Sasha! And i am just not fond of Sasha...it would never be Alexander really but Alex i guess...
