Help[Opinions] Re: Roman Names
in reply to a message by iris
Ones I like:
Augustus
Felix
Octavius (prefer Octavian)
Aurora
Cassia
Flora - LOVE this
Livia
Lucia
Mariana
Octavia
Laelia - it 'looks' quite pretty but I'm totally guessing on pronunciation: LAY-lee-ah or LALE-ee-ah
Ones I think could best work in the "real world" :b ....
Augustus - this might be kind of pushing it, though (I recently saw a baby boy in our hospital named Augustus and there were a few snickers from my co-workers *rolls eyes*)
Felix - see Augustus
Antonia
Aurora
Cassia
Flavia
Flora
Lavinia
Livia
Lucia
Mariana
Octavia
Prisca
Vesta
Laelia
*Girls can 'get away with' so much more when it comes to unique and creative names :-/

Sigh. I agree. And speaking of the eye-rolling at Augustus, my friends have a son named August. When he was first born I'm told they received quite a few less than nice comments about their name choice. I probably don't need to mention that August got rave reviews from me :) A year later no one thinks August is weird so I find that a little encouraging.
