1)Roman
2)Xander
3)Anakin/Anniken
4)Dominic

Roman and Dominic are great names.

Xander is short for Alexander. Also, it's nauseatingly trendy. It's just so cool to have a name that starts with X.

Anakin is a sci-fi character's name. Why not Yoda or Chewbacca?
What in the world is "Anniken"? Is this a way to hide the fact that it's a sci-fi character by using a weird spelling?

So, like I said, Roman and Dominic are great.

I totally agree with all of this.

Also, it's worth noting that Anakin gets called "Annie" all through the films. That might be pretty hard for a boy to handle!

2)Xander- Can't stand this name!

I love Roman. I keep changing my mind between Roman and Rowan and for some reason I won't let myself have both of them on my list at the same time. LOL.

1)Roman Love, but I dont think I'd ever use it myself.
2)Xander Same story. This ones a little to trendy for me, I think.
3)Anakin/Anniken No way. Isn't that the guy from star wars?
4)Dominic LOOOVE so much.

i like Roman and Dominic. Xander doesn't seem like a full name (because it isn't) and i'd DEFINITELY stay away from Anakin. if you like the sound, you could try Annika for a girl.

1)Roman ~ I love this name.
2)Xander ~ I really like this name but with a Z.
3)Anakin/Anniken ~ I like it a lot but I don't know if it's cuz I'm a starwars fan or if it's just a great name.
4)Dominic ~ I like this one too but less than all the other ones.

Roman (but pronounced ro-MAHN) is special for me because it's my father-in-law's name, and is also the last name of a dear friend of mine. I like it a lot.

I like #1 and #4 is OK. Anakin is a big NO for me.

I like Roman and Dominic, especially Dominic.

1. Maybe I'm in the minority on this one, but Roman makes me think of the movie/book Rosemary's Baby. Or Roman Pulanski.

2. It's nice. I like it. I love X's. LOL

3. Skywalker.

4. Dominic - Not horrid to me.

I LOVE Roman and Dominic. Xander is really good, too, but to me it will always be short for "Alexander." I don't like Anakin, but only because the child will never be able to escape from the Star Wars reference.

Roman - I kinda like this, it's not too popular but it's not too 'out there' either. It sounds really strong too.

Xander - Looks like your trying too hard. I prefer Alexander

Anakin/Anniken - Nms

Dominic - This is quite nice, i prefer Roman more though.

1 i love the name Roman since ive met a boy named Roman in France. *great memories* I hope you pronounce the name in French. English way is also nice, but in fench it really sound totally beautiful^^
2 Xander is just great^^
3 Anniken/Anakin reminds me of the girls name Anniek/Annika. For some reason those names all iriitate me :\
4 Dominic is lovely^^

How is Roman pronounced in french?
I met a boy in france too hehe. He's called Max (Maxime) Apparently that's a popular French boys name, pretty feminine to me. I know this as during a months holiday i met 11 different Maxime's O_o The American Aiden perhaps!

its like RĂ³-MEEEH
its the typical french -eeeh
somethimes they write Roman as Romain

i also like Maxime.
But i'd write Maxim for a boy & Maxime for a girl i think :)

if Maxime is the American Aiden, then it's the Dutch Sem. lol

The only one I like is Dominic. I adore it. The others I hate, although I like Alexander with Xan or Xander as a nn.

Roman - yuck. How about Ronan? Or Rowen?
Xander - AWFUL. Alexander is fine, Xander is childish and silly. It'd be okay as a nn, but NOT a full name. Yuck.
Anakin - umm no...
Dominic - decent. Best on your list.

lol, there is probably a Domenic on another soap, but not one I can think of so I'd say it's safe.
And Roman is okay as a name, I mean I'm sure there are worse DAYS names (Tek).

1)Roman- love.
2)Xander- Not as full a name as Alexander, i'd use Alexander but Xander as the shortened nn.
3)Anakin/Anniken- i havent yet read comments but i'm sure EVERYONE will have said this... starwars!! i think it's far too big a cultural phonomenon to be taken seriously as a baby's name.
4)Dominic- no problem with it, it's fine..
