[Opinions] Re: Ancient Greek and Roman Names
in reply to a message by Katie
I'm so glad you asked this! Haha here are my favorites. Some are guilty pleasures. A lot of these I would most likely use as middle names or with nicknames.
Boys:
Ariston-Usable. I like it as both a first and middle name.
Caius-Not positive I'd use it, but if I did, it would be a middle name.
Maximus "Max"-I wouldn't use this.
Pyrrhus-Probably wouldn't use this either.
Girls:
Antonia-I don't like it enough to use it.
Augustina-What a mouthful. I like it, but I probably wouldn't use it.
Aurelia-I love this! I would actually consider using this name.
Camilla "Millie"-I love Millie as a nickname, but I'm still trying to find the right given name for it. This is my favorite so far.
Cassia-Don't think I'd use it.
Constantina-Again, wouldn't use it.
Cornelia-I prefer Cordelia, but this is cute, too.
Demetria "Demi"-I would consider using this.
Eirene-Probably wouldn't use.
Kallisto "Kallie"-Unsure.
Livia "Liv"-I prefer Olivia, but I like this, also.
Lucia "Lucy"-I'd consider using it.
Melaina-Don't love it enough to make use of it.
Marina "Mina"-I love this!
Priscilla "Tilla"-I just met someone named Priscilla who goes by Tilla. Her nephew couldn't say Priscilla, so he called her "Auntie Tilla" (I asked her about it haha).
Romana "Romy"-I love this!
Sophia-Too common. Maybe as a middle name.
Theodora "Thea"-I love this!
Timo-This would make a cute nickname for...I'm not sure what...
Tullia-I love this! It's very cute. Still unsure if I'd use it.
Valentina-I love this! I'm pretty sure I'll use it as a middle name.
Valeria-Don't like it enough to use.
Victoria-I know way too many to actually use it.
Zoe-Short and sweet. I'd consider using it as a first name.
