HelpSpeaking of Roman names....
I saw this and thought, "OMG. Does she look at our board to find topics to write about?"

Antonia, Octavia and Aurelia have survived in Romance languages, and Felix in pop culture (Felix the Cat cartoons and Felix Unger of The Odd Couple). Augustus is in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Tatiana seems more Slavic, probably because it's used in Russia a lot, and was my Russian name in high school.
I don't remember seeing Tanaquil before. My second cousin has a Tana, but I thought he and his wife made it up.
