Pairing Augusta (Augustus) with Cateline (Catiline) creates quite the paradox!

first thing I thought of was the Catiline conspiracy.
Probably not going to be a factor for most, unless you happen to have taken a classics course, though.
I would definitely pronounce it as 3 syllables on first glance.
