I like it. It's really cool!

---

I think it would make a fresh choice today.

---

I can't say i associate it with anything, apart from, or some reason, Mice.

---

I like those combos, esp. Roland Xavier & Casper Roland. I mean, how many kids can claim their middle initial is X?

I neither love it nor hate it. I do have a friend named Rolande who's a woman.
It's nms, but I'd appreciate the change from Liam, Jacob, Ethan or Aidan on someone else's kid.

---

Best of your combos:

---

Roland Charles
Roland Wilfred (almost works if you're ok w/ 2 d endings)
Roland Xavier
Roland William

---

Alasdair Roland

---

Alexander's nice, but I think it would sound better as Roland Alexander flow-wise.

---

The other names I'm just not fond of in the first place.

I like it. It's definitely a name I'd like to see more often. It's usable if you ask me.

---

Roland Henry - Nice.
Roland Charles - I used to not care for Charles, but I think it's decent these days.
Roland Wilfred - Wilfred is a little too stuffy for me.
Roland Xavier - I love this combo.
Roland William - Nice flow. William is a nice name. It's common, but still a nice name.

---

Alasdair Roland - I really like Alasdair, but I'd switch the order of the combo because the R's at the end of Alasdair and the beginning of Roland run together. This also happens with the other combos you've listed before. How about Roland Alasdair?
Alexander Roland - See above. Roland Alexander would be a great combo.
Casper Roland - I've never been all that fond of Casper to be honest. I don't really care for the sound of it. Oddly enough, I like Castor though. How about Roland Castor?
Evander Roland - I really like Evander. How about Roland Evander?
Leander Roland - Again, I'd reverse the order here, and make it Roland Leander, which I think makes for a nice combo.

I do like it, but only for fun because it's really close to my last name. It's such a gallant, regal name. I also like the association to Song of Roland-- definitely a positive. And of course it's usable... why wouldn't it be? It's a perfectly normal, not unheard of or unseen name.

---

My only combo with it is Roland Carolus, which I adore.

---

Of your combos, I like pretty much all the top ones. They all sort of stick with the image I get from it. Of the bottom list, I LOVE Alasdair Roland. It's perfect! The rest are fine enough, too.

I don't mind it at all, and I like it better than plenty of more popular names. I love the Song of Roland, and that is always in my mind when I hear it. My other association is with a perfectly pleasant bloke, in his middle to late 20s I'd say, whose name (fn + ln) is Roland Arnold. I find that lacking in harmony.

It is the name of my cousin's cat so I think of him :)

---

I really like it as a pet's name but do think it has a distinguished older man feel to it. (I have seen Rollin too and I hate that)

---

I think it is usable. It falls in a class with Simon, Percy, Alistair, Charles.

---

I like your combos with Roland as a first name better than as a middle name.

I like Roland; for me it brings to mind the "strong & silent" type.

---

I think it is a very usable name & I love that it's not trendy right now (at least not where I live).

---

I like all of your combos w/ Roland as the first name.
I would add:
Roland Wyatt
Roland Cedric
Roland Anthony
Roland Jethro
Roland Avery
Roland Edgar
Roland Mitchell
Roland Klaus
Roland Alexander
Roland Nigel

---

The only combo w/ Roland as a middle name that I'm not fond of is Alexander Roland but thats simply because I prefer Alexander as a middle name.
I would add:
Tristram Roland
Sirius Roland
Marshall Roland
Kevin Roland
Jasper Roland
Hugo Roland
Garrett Roland
Edward Roland
Cedric Roland

I like Roland! It's one of the names I wish was used more often. I think it's completely useable.
I like Roland William, Alasdair Roland, and Evander Roland. And I don't like Henry, but I think I like Roland Henry a little...
Also Roland Arthur, Roland Morgan, Roland Francis, Roland Santiago, Roland Charlemagne, Roland Wilhelm, Roland Lysander.
