How it ages.
A distinguished, ancient name that stands completely apart today; a bold pick for a parent who wants something no one else shares.
The cultural moment.
Essentially unused as a first name today; historically it was a Roman family name rather than a given name, which is why choosing it now reads as a deliberate nod to classical Rome rather than an ordinary name choice.
