Baby Names
Name Julius
That one was on our list too. We also like Roman names.
Just a heads-up: Iulius (with an I) is actually the family name of the Iulii (Julii) family, not a first name. Julius Caesar was actually called Gaius Iulius Caesar.
Gaius is a normal Roman name, but it sounds too much like "gajus" in Dutch, so I wouldn't go with that.
Other options: Quintus, Sextus, Cornelius, Marcus.

Oh, and Marcellus (actually also a family name, not a first name), Claudius (also a family name, not a first name), and Tertius are there too.
For Dutch people, Julius and Marcus are definitely the most common. The other names are a bit exotic. -

I notice that I often get labeled with a different opinion than most people here.
Julius?? I find it very old-fashioned and Catholic-sounding... -

Great name. Not specifically Catholic though
