Thank you SO much for posting that page!

We've been looking through it - how weird that Commodus in real life had a twin brother?! "He had an elder twin brother, Titus Aurelius Fulvus Antoninus"

BUT - Commodus' birth name was "Lucius Aelius Aurelius Commodus". I love the name Lucius! Lucius is also the name of the little boy (Commodus' nephew) in the movie Gladiator (where we got Maximus' name from).

We also both like the name Marcus, which was the name of Commodus' father, and his younger brother.

However, I guess a lot of this depends on meeting him and seeing what fits him. I LOVE the name Lucius, because it is drawn from the Latin word "Lux", meaning "Light". I love that.

BUT - Marcus is derived from the "Mars" - the Roman God of War. God, both of these would just be awesome!

However - if he knows his name as Cheddar, I hate the idea of changing that on him He is only 8 weeks old about....so I doubt he knows it yet?

We could name him Marcus Cheddar - and call him MC lol!

I guess we will see how his personality is. If he is fiery and wild - Marcus will fit. If he's laid back and sweet, Lucius would be good.

On a side note - I love the name Phoenix, too. Commodus, in the movie, was played by Joaquin Phoenix, and I love what a Phoenix portrays. My fiance doesn't like that name though, so I have been overruled!

Thanks so much for the link Kay - that helped a ton!
