[Opinions] Re: Speaking of Roman names....
in reply to a message by Bear
We have a few threads from the past couple of days about Roman names, that's what I was refering to. I haven't heard a ton of Roman names lately, either, but like I wrote in a comment, some of them have become just 'names'. Not blatantly Roman, but just a common, typical name.

I've been busy and haven't kept up on the boards recently, but I did get from your intro that it's been a topic here recently. I just haven't noticed it in BAs, friends' kids, etc. So I meant in my response: trends in the general public.Sometimes I do name polls and have one or two on ancient Roman names. I wish I could see the faces of poll takers when they see, for example, Virginia or Victoria on there. Poll takers tend to be younger so I wonder if they are aware how old some "ordinary" names are. :-)
