[Opinions] Re: Roman Names
in reply to a message by Megan
Junius (m) - The strong "june" sound is feminine to me. I love Juniper, Junia, and Juno though (for girls).
Livy (m) - Too close to Livvy (as in short for Olivia).
Livia (f) - Ooh I want to like this so badly, but it just seems like someone chopped the O off of Olivia!
Antonius (m) - Usable, though nms.
Claudius (m) - Not my favorite, but I love Claudio:)
Porcia (f) - I love Portia.
Pompeia (f) - Sounds nice, but I personally wouldn't want to name my child after a buried and ruined city.
Cassius (m) - Totally usable. Love nn Cas/Cass.
Octavia (f) - Love, love, love it!!!
Sextus (m) - HA. Please don't use this!
Tiberius (m) - NMS, but I could see it being used.
Seneca (m) - Same as Tiberius.
Britannicus (m) - Ooh! I think this is going into my GP list! Love it, but perhaps too heavy for actual use? I love to see it anyway!
Quintus (m) - I have a strong dislike for Q and X names.
Aulus (m) - I like it, but a bit too bland for me to say I love it.
Attis (m) - It could grow on me. It does sound like Attic though.
Livy (m) - Too close to Livvy (as in short for Olivia).
Livia (f) - Ooh I want to like this so badly, but it just seems like someone chopped the O off of Olivia!
