Re: Roman names
in reply to a message by lusia
YOURS:
Lucius - Like this name a lot. I happen to know a few. They all seem to come from upper-crust families, so I associate this name with success.
Octavia - Pretty. Not a name I would use myself, but I quite like it. I knew a girl with this name in Czech Republic. It fit so well, was exotic, yet solid.
Augustus - A little spunkier than August or Augusta for a girl. I like it, bit prefer the simpler versions just for ease. I doubt someone would go by the full name all the time anyway, so maybe my preference is moot.
Aelia - unique. A bit hard to say for some, but pretty enough to compensate for that.
Aurelia - A little easier on the tongue. I quite like the delicate flow of this name. Though I would never use this name myself, I would love to see it.
Livia - Pretty. I have always liked this name and I think it makes a great modern alternative to the popular Olivia.
Julius is my personal stand-out for obvious reasons.
However, I do like many Roman names.
Alba and Otho I find the best for modern use, because of their short, simple uniqueness.
My favorites are probably Camilla and Cassian though.
