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.

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

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

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.
