Roman General name suggestions

[tone]

We're in the process of putting the Roman legionary recruitment script together for the AI to recruit whole legions if you're playing against Rome. It'd be good to get some inspiring ideas for generals' names, if anyone has any?

The script itself seems to be working well - legions are on the whole staying as one unit: first cohort, regular cohorts, auxiliary cohorts, auxiliary alae, missile units and siege weapons....so there'll be a big challenge to face the might of Rome.

Maximus Decimus Meridius?

[tone]

It's got to be done I guess - which was his legion?

I don't know, it had flaming pots, and probably flaming pigs too .

Don't know, a google search said it were the Felix legions...

[Titus Maximius Thongus]

Flavius Vespasian would be a great one to have (commanded the 2nd Augusta). He kicks some butt


and *ahem* Titus Maximus Thongus > (na jk)

[Ioannes Tzimiskes]

As I know Romans had only several first names, they used for example Gaius, Lucius, Marcus, Publius, Quintus. These were the most frequent

[TheAeneas]

How about Gluteus maximus? (The Gluteus Maximus is the big muscle in your butt...)
It would be kinda cool if you can make a rather inept General to be given this name.

[tone]

Ha, ha.

Maximus' legion would have been Flavia Felix then - there's only one Felix legion.

[King_Darius]

felix means lucky in latin....

[Varyag]

I started writing an historical fiction story one time about a legionary expedition into Germania. It was headed by a Dux appointed by Imperator Hadrianus: Aulus Galerius. Has a sound to it like he can lead an army or two

[MarcusTullius]

Yup, its definitely Legio IV Flavia Felix!

[chaney]

Decimus Aurelius
Marcus Brutus (you'd get away with it)
Quintis Julianus

Only three from brainstorming ,

[Velico]

Fabius Valens, Marcus Camilus, Flavius Aetius, Titus Larcius, Lucius Sisenna, Manius Messalla, Gaius Laelius, Cornelius Flaminius... I can keep going if you want lol.

Tone, do we need to follow the naming conventions of the Romans? Or can we just make stuff up as long as it sounds Roman to a lay person?

[Kallides]

"Suetonius Prandus" taken from the Emperor book by Conn Iggulden

"Ipiss Freelius"

"Simon O'Neal" is a great name for a general very historic I think it will look good in Primigenia.
