HelpRe: Roman
in reply to a message by Canielle
Hi!
Congratulations to this family!
Roman (and Romano) are not my first choice also if you want to use an Italian-sounding name. Romeo Pacino or Italo Pacino would flow better imo. As his ancestors were from Sicily (not from Rome) I would expect something like Leone / Leon (his maternal grannies were from a town called Corleone), Leo, Luca / Luke, Leoluca (Leone+Luca, the patron saint of Corleone), Benedetto / Benedict (the patron saint of his father's hometown). Also Leonida / Leonidas or Leonardo / Leonard would fit.
In U.S. chart there are ton of names that are also suitable: Milo Enzo Giovanni Diego Lorenzo Emilio ... Or also Salvatore / Sal (like Pacino's dad) or maybe Giacomo (perhalps Pacino's grandfather's name before coming to USA ... where he was James).
Being his girlfriend Noor Alfallah from a Kuwaiti background also an international "religious" name like Gabriel, Joseph, Noah, David, Jacob, Solomon (that are mentioned both in the Bible and in the Quran) would make a great choice.
I love when names reflect or honour their ancestors background. Roman is so bland in this case.
