Roman?

What do you ladies think of the name Roman? And btw my H name is Ramon and he LOVES the name Roman. He's so set on that name. I find it a little weird that the names are so similar!

 

Re: Roman?

  • I have a friend who named her son Roman and I love it. But I do think it's a little gimicky to have a Ramon and Roman.

    I adore adore adore the name Roman.  But, I'd be really hesitant to use it if my husband's name is Ramon.  They sound too much alike, IMO.

  • Agreed with most, great name - but too close to your husbands in my opinion

  • Roman is great! It's one I'd consider using myself, actually. I don't really mind similarity in names between parents and children- I see them as separate entities... well, unless it's George Foreman situation. I think it also depends why your husband likes the name. If it's because it's close to his name, I think that would bother me a little (like, "And where is my namesake?") but if it's just coincidental, then I'd be find with it. If you don't like it, don't agree to it, but I really like Roman.
  • I like the name Roman. And I like the sentiment behind Ramon/Roman. But I think it might be a little much. If you and your DH like it, however, go for it!

  • I don't like it, but I'm a Big Love  fan and it's the name of the creepy old polygamist prophet on the show so that's all I can picture.
