On the other hand, I was a big fan of Los Angeles Rams quarterback Roman Gabriel.
I have a very common first name, and it always made me crazy that I would have 3 or 4 kids in my class with the same.
So when my son was born, I made sure to look at the top 100 names for that year, but not use any of them. And his name is distinct, masculine, and no argument on how it's pronounced.
