Roman?

[celebrate.livejournal.com]

I'm due in June with a son who will be named Asher Roman(?) Sheffield. Asher is definite. Since I have chosen the first name, I would like to let my husband decide the middle name. He has recently fallen in love with the name Roman. It's never been on my top 10, but it's better than his other ideas (Achilles, Romeo, Cassius, lol.) So, what do you guys think of Roman? Also, please suggest other middle names that my husband might like. He wants something strong, masculine, and uncommon. Thanks in advance.

ETA: Thank you all so much for your opinions, but I wanted add that the issue of repetition has already been discussed in this entry and the general consensus was that it isn't too horrible. For what it's worth, we would not be using "Ash" as a nickname. Keep the suggestions coming! :)
