There are wonderful Latin names; I remember one from my Latin book: Cominia Tyche. And there's also Calpurnia (Caesar's wife).

This is definitely the new trend for boy names. I've loved Augustus, Felix, and Rufus for years, so I hope they don't become obnoxiously popular. I'd go Greek and choose Lydia over Livia.

That year alone 15 boys in my canadian province where named the same. I had never even heard of the name before, unfortunatly it is on the rise. Also it went from being #998 in on the SSA list, in 2009, to #876 last year Fablesoflove :I named my son Cassius 2 years ago (pronounced Ka-see-us)(apparently the proper roman Pronunciation).

Or at least Lucanus with Lucan being the more modern form. DH and I have loved this name for years and may use it as a first name, but most definitely a middle name. http://www.behindthename.com/name/lucan http://www.behindthename.com/name/lucanus It would've been nice to see Aeson on the list, although, it's technically Ancient Greek, not Ancient Roman. Either way, it's been my favorite name for yearrrrrrrrrrrrrs. http://www.behindthename.com/name/aeson I think Lucan deserved to be on the list.

I cracked up a little with the Romulus pic. Yes, I know it's a famous piece of history, it was just a little bit of a surprise! Love these.
