Fabulous name! I very much wanted to use it for our middle child, but was vetoed by my husband. -an names are very popular with boys right now, though.

Roman is fairly common in my area, on all age groups.

I like Noah, good name.

My friend named her son Roman. It fits him great.

I love Roman because it's such a strong name and makes me think of the Roman Empire. I agree that it's too much with Noah and Deacon, though.

I think it's a great sib set. They are all different types of names that have an "oh" sound in there somewhere so it makes them fit so well. Also, I don't think Roman reminds me of religion, and even though Deacon is a religious office, in my mind I would lump it with the Freeman's, Macon's and Langston's of the world.

My sister in law's maiden name is Roman, and so a future son that my brother and she may have will be named Lucas Roman (Lucas is my brother's fn)
I think it's really pretty great as a name, personally.

I like it, in a GP sort of way. I mean, I wouldn't use it. I think too hard about meanings. But I think it's usable. I have run into a couple young Romans on playgrounds, and it's really fine.

Noah is popular enough that the bearded ark captain image fades for me. I knew a Noah in high school, in the 80s, and it seemed cool.

Deacon, to me at least, is too much of a word. It's not awful though - I could call a kid Deacon without feeling like it sounded dumb. It's namey enough.
