Re: Roman Names (mostly)
in reply to a message by LMS
Domna (f) - nope
Maesa (f)- usable, but not for me
Jovian (m)- usable and I like it
Valens (m)- usable
Laskaris (m)- nope
Vitellius (m)- ok
Vespasian (m)- great :)
Vistilia (f?) - nope
Pertinax (m)- nope
Thrax (m)- great name for a pet
Picantius (m)- LOL in DUtch this wounds like 'spicyus' would in English
Silbannicus (m)- nope
Gallus (m)- usable
Aemilian (m)- usable
Macrianus (m)- ok
Cyriades (m)- nice
Postumus (m)- sounds too much like 'costume'
Maeonius (m)- Mayonaise?
Trebellianus/Trebainius (m)- too complicated
Timolaus (m)- dunno
Vitruvia (f)- nope
Aulus (m)- usable
Sulpicius (m)- too much like suspicious
Saluius (m)- nope
Ulpius (m)- nope
Traianus (m)- I like it (I don't have unfortunate associations with it)
Iulianus (m)- I prefer Julianus
Heluius (m)- the -uiu- isn't an appealing combination of letters imo
Pescennius (m)- nope
Opellius (m)- nope
Diadumenianus (m)- takes too long to decypher
Alexianus (m)- usable
Etruscus (m)- ok, but I'd never use it bc of the Etruscs (sp?), the people
Maximian (m)- nice
Maxentius (m)- nice as well
Olybrius (m) - ok
Avitus (m)- ok
Aelia (f)- usable
Eutropia (f)- nope
Maximilla (f)- usable
Heraklonas (m)- sounds like a clone of Herakles
Staurakios (m) - nope
Alexios (m)- nice
Andronikos (m)- nope
Lothair (m)- usable
I think Aulus, Aemilian and Jovian wouldn't be too weird to actually use, but my fav is Vespasian :)
