lost legion23, here are your friends:

 

Friend #1 is a member of the Centenia gens, which also gave birth to that brave but ill-fated military commander Marcus Centenius Penula, whose army was defeated by Hannibal at the Battle of Silarus in 212 BCE. Your friend's cognomen is "Tallio," meaning "retaliation." His praenomen is "Titus," customarily abbreviated as "T." His full Roman name is:

 

T. Centenius Tallio

= eekihttsaclontln -hk +iu

 

Friend #2 is a member of the Vatinia gens, which also gave birth to that shady magistrate of the last days of the Republic -- Publius Vatinius -- who was described by Cicero as being one of the greatest villains that ever lived. Your friend doesn't have a cognomen (not all Roman citizens did), and your friend's praenomen is "Lucius," customarily abbreviated as "L." His full Roman name is:

 

L. Vatinius

= tvajliusn -j +i

Thanks, but the son of my second friend most of got his evilness from his mother. He's the most cheerful guy you could ever know.

 

In that case, here's another name choice for your not-so-evil friend:

 

V. Latinius

= tvajliusn -i +j

 

"V." is an abbreviation for the praenomen "Vibius."
