I vastly prefer [name]Ronan[/name]! I’ve never been a huge fan of [name]Roman[/name]… it does seem a bit odd to use it when you wouldn’t use English, Irish, French, [name]German[/name] (although, lol, a coworker named [name]Germain[/name] always gets called [name]German[/name]!), Greek, or Maori or whatever, haha. It has always seemed a bit pretentious to me, as well. While I much prefer [name]Rowan[/name] to both choices, [name]Ronan[/name] seems more down-to-earth, fiery, and usable.

You may not call people English or Greek, but people do call children, [name]London[/name] and [name]Paris[/name]. [name]Roman[/name] is also a surname, whereas English and Greek, aren’t. However, I do prefer [name]Ronan[/name], probably because I’m Irish. :>

That’s what I thought, it’s just that what I mentioned above were what people said to me when I asked about [name]Roman[/name].

I love [name]Roman[/name], so handsome, strong and classy. I especially love the nn [name]Romeo[/name]. [name]Ronan[/name] has always seemed a bit bland and repetitive to me, I’ve never been a fan. [name]Roman[/name] wins hands down for me. I love [name]Rowan[/name] too, which is similar.

I love [name]Roman[/name]! I like the sound of [name]Roman[/name] a bit more then [name]Ronan[/name] overall. There are plenty of bad people with many different names, I’m sure there’s even a few with my name. It wouldn’t hold me back from using a name, in school I’m sure most/all of his piers would have no clue who the guy is. [name]Ronan[/name] is handsome and I like the meaning, overall I prefer [name]Roman[/name] though.

I also prefer [name]Rowan[/name] to [name]Ronan[/name], but I still like [name]Ronan[/name] an awful lot.

And I don’t think of [name]Roman[/name] Polanski when I hear [name]Roman[/name]. I just think “Oh, that’s a handsome name!”

[name]Ronan[/name] hands down. I think the name [name]Roman[/name] reminds me too much of [name]Romeo[/name]. Good luck !
