Talk:Choosing a Roman name

Revision as of 02:20, 4 August 2008

This article has gotten to be much more than Choosing a Roman name. Should we move the present article to "Roman name" and make a much smaller article on the procedures for choosing an name and leave that here? In origin this was a guide for new citizens and I think it has gotten to be quite a lot to take in all at once. M. Lucretius Agricola 21:10, 20 April 2006 (CDT)

By all means, move stuff around. I just wanted to get all the content up there, but now it's there we can sub-divide it into separate pages or whatever. I don't really know the best way to structure things in a wiki so I'll leave that for others to do.  :) Cordus 06:49, 21 April 2006 (CDT)

I agree. Let's keep it simple for the newcomers, but have another version elsewhere (linked to from here) that explains the full details for those who are interested. Marcus Octavius Germanicus^(t) 09:03, 21 April 2006 (CDT)

You can borrow and adapt my beginner guide; it's at Your Roman Name: The User's Manual. -- Marius Peregrinus 21:33, 10 September 2007 (CEST)

Female names

Let's not forget a discussion of female names and if and how we diverge from ancient practice. Agricola 01:05, 8 February 2007 (CET)

Too much info

I think that things such as filiation, not being part of the name selection process for new citizens, need not be mentioned here. 04:18, 4 August 2008 (CEST)
