Vibius Tiberius Costa Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 (edited) For example i'm called Vibius Tiberius Costa because when I was small I always thought Tiberius was the coolest name and Vibius Costa is the name of someone (to do with my career). So i scrapped the gens rule and stuffed Tiberius in there. Anyway I'm curious. Especially about names that make little sense. eg Viggen are you really naming yourself after a Saab, why? etc vtc Edited August 18, 2007 by Vibius Tiberius Costa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursus Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 There 's already a thread on this somewhere, but I'm too lazy to link to it. Ursus = Bear. My ancestors were apparently Bavarian peasants whose surname is actually German for bear. My present family are Pennsylvanian peasants who surname is the Anglosized version of the German for bear. Since Romans often used animals as their third name, I thought it was appropriate enough. It and beer drinking are my only two nods to my mostly Germanic heritage (although the beer drinking doubles for my Irish side). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
