Name your child Roland?

[BossHaus]

So my wife won't let me name our son Roland (due in three months) because our friends have a cat named Roland (named after everyone's favorite gunslinger).

Has anybody else named their child/pet/anything else Roland?

Welcome and keep posting.

I have not named anything Roland yet but it's a cool idea.

Congratulations on your new family addition!

My parents named me Frank and look what happened. I say stand your ground.

...not unless to The Dark Tower He Came.....

Hi and welcome. No Roland here. Have a cat named OY.

Roland's a cool name. Consider Roland Navarro and Gilbert Roland. If she persists, consider talking to a good lawyer.

(Maybe not mention Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner.)

It would never occur to her.

 

[Doc Creed]

I would. My grandfather's name is Roland.

Cool name.

 

[Doc Creed]

Cool name.

Thanks, I think so, too. He hates his birth name and everyone calls him Buddy. Buddy K, to be exact, which is cool as well.

I agree. Imagine if SK had named his character Buddy K Deschaine. The consequences boggle the imagination.

Yeah, well the Spanish Inquisition never occurs to anyone, either.

"Childe Buddy to the Dark Tower came..."...somehow not equally intriguing.

Disagree. It would work as a children's book.

I have a cousin whose name is Roland, but I've never asked my Aunt what gave her the idea for the name. I'll have to ask.

Is there a shortened form for someone named Roland? Rolly?

Okay, except children will get confused how to spell.

Eddie sometimes calls him ugly, doesn't he?

 

[not_nadine]

yes. Long tall and ugly. Probably not a good name for a baby.
