Trajan 1

I’m probably in the minority but I like this name. I think it is one of the Roman Emperor names that could be used for a boy today along with Hadrian. I think the name is pretty popular in some Eastern European countries. I prefer the pronunciation TRAY jun instead of TRAH jun. For a nickname you can call him Trey.

This name suggests familiarity to the Roman Empire (Trajan was probably the second most popular of all the emperors after Augustus). This would probably work if a sibling was named after another emperor ("the little emperors" could be an affectionate nickname for a group of these), or if it is for an only child. I never knew any Trajans, but any Trajan I come across would be a rare sight, in a good way.
