Can children come out and identify as a romantic before puberty?

Question(s)

Romantic feelings don't require one to have acquired puberty. Children develop crushes; on their peers, teachers, the older siblings of their friends, fictional characters, media stars, etc. I say if they have come to terms with their lack of romantic attraction, then a child can identify as aromantic.
