[name_f]My[/name_f] DS and I like [name_m]Roman[/name_m] but they are also picky and don’t want any modern negative associations :sweat_smile: I love the soft nicknames [name_u]Rome[/name_u] and [name_u]Romy[/name_u] as well. Any ideas, preferably ones that don’t start with an r or end with an n*?

Thanks!

[name_m]Caius[/name_m]! It’s an Ancient [name_m]Roman[/name_m] name without negative modern associations, and [name_u]Cai[/name_u] is a nice nickname.
