Actor Al Pacino and his girlfriend Noor Alfallah have revealed the name of their new baby boy as Roman Pacino. WDYT?

It's always struck me as like Christian but more militant, because I picture a legionary while associating "Roman Catholic" and "Roman Empire". It seems popular and similar to Romeo, Rowan, Ronan.

Cute. I want to use this on a male puppy someday.That man is out there reproducing still?? Damn. Double checked his age. He's old enough to be his girlfriend's grandpa 😶 To be fair! I did have an "adult dream" about AL Pacino and myself in a crypt of all places once. But in the dream he was a young man at least lol

I don’t know why, but I’ve never liked the name Roman.

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.
