Hmm, Marius Minimus...Marius Paullus Minimus...Marius Minimus Paullus...? Marius Parvullus? Parvullus Minimus...?
...If I were Censor, I'd accept any of these names (with proper Praenomen) in a minute. >({|;-)
I think it's the concept of self-agrandizement-through-name-selection that our Regula are (is, mi Draco?) trying to discourage. After the Gladiator movie, everybody entering a certain Internet micronation wanted to be "Maximus". Or Magnus. Wouldn't've been surprised if I'd seen a Curius Odus, a Varius Flavus, maybe even a Splendiferus or two!
In amicitia (and not really planning to change his name--he fought the OP too hard for the one he has!),
Aldus Marius Peregrinus.
