[Opinions] Re: Roman Names
in reply to a message by iris
I think the girls names could all work on people today, but the guys names would sound stuck-upMy Fav's:
Aurelia
Livia
Caius
Octavius
FabiusLaelia is pronounced Lie-lee-uh
In spoken Latin, the ae is pronounced like "eye" mostly

...the guys names would sound stuck-upI agree. For some reason it's a lot easier to imagine a girl named Aurelia than a guy named Aurelius.
