I think we talked about him in one of my classes last week - wasn't he the emperor who preceded Constantine and led a massive seeking out of and killing of Christians in the Roman Empire? Also don't think the name sounds great. Important historical figure but I wouldn't want a connection to someone who ordered mass killings. I'll google to see if it's the same guy or not.

Eta yup. From Wikipedia:
"The Diocletianic Persecution (303–11), the Empire's last, largest, and bloodiest official persecution of Christianity..."
