For example
Julia
Julia secunda
etc
Might've been Prima for the first one
but the daugthers all shared names
Right, Julia is the family name
So the boys would be named Julius and the girls Julia
The family would be called the Julii
The praenomen was the chosen name from the parents
Then you would have a cognomen, which is something about you- romans changed names all the time
It was common, especially among aristocrats, for a mentor to adopt an adult mentee
As a sign of respect and allegiance
And the man or woman would change their nomen
The praenoma of women came from their mothers though
Sometimes, just like first boys are sometimes named Junior, III, IV
No that was definately the norm
Sometimes
And familes would recycle their names
Yeah, for boys and girls
Yup
But to a larger extent
Among patricians yes
But our upper classes do it more than lower classes too
But yeah if you look at the actual names of emperors itβs like oh look another gaius Julius
