Many of these names I like. The majority, however, I think are too heavily associated with specific figures to be used irl. Also, the -us ending on most of the male names just screams Roman Statesmen imo. Don't be surprised if my next pet is named Cicero or Pollux...

The names I like aesthetically are

---

Amadeus
Antonius
Augustus
Aurelius
Caius
Cicero

The only names I would consider using on an actual child, a list I'm sure would be severely shortened by my husband, are

---

Augustus - I can't though because a close friend has a son named August.
Caius - iffy
Felix

---

Aurora
Flavia - iffy, I have a love/hate relationship with this one
Flora - iffy, see Flavia
Livia - well, I would Olivia wasn't so gosh-darned popular
Lucia
Prisca
