When I have introduced myself to others, they have complimented and have shown a positive reaction to me, saying, "I love that name Roman, or I really like that name Roman".
Roman is a nice name. But it is rather ironic. I mean imagine if someone asks "are you really from Rome?" I think the name was not invented until the 16th Century when Rome (empire) became Italy, LOL.

Unfortunately, celebrities with more money than sense have gotten their hands on this nice name. I've always liked this name, and I think it's sad that it's hot right now.
My family and I went to Olive Garden recently and our waiter's name was Roman. My sister and I both agreed that it was a very interesting name. I really like it! It sounds cool. I didn't make the connection to Rome when I first heard the name, but that may just be me! XD
I suppose this is an OK name if you are Russian, Czech, Polish, etc., but it does not sound very professional if you are English and bear this name. It makes me think of a little boy. Much too modern for me.

Roman is one of those names that can age gracefully which is nice. I've only known one Roman and the name has never been overly popular in America. It's staying on my list.
