[boodleboot]

ok that should have read TIBERIUS in RL....
jeez, a bit of sun and i can't even open a post properly....

yes....can you tell i have just seen star trek recently...i would love to use it but is it just silly and indulgent? - i like Ti for short.....

oh and great smug thread reality have no idea what that Roneef person was on about....i lurked rather than posting but thought you came out of it with grace and dignity.....and he/she/it most definitely did not...

How about Marcus Aurelius?

No, I don't think you can saddle a child with a name like that. Wiki says:
"But he (Tiberius) came to be remembered as a dark, reclusive, and somber ruler who never really desired to be emperor; Pliny the Elder called him tristissimus hominum, "the gloomiest of men."

yes and yes....take them to see it....it is very loud and great special effects. i took my nine yr old girl and five yr old boy and they both loved it....

I briefly had a neighbour whose little boy was called Tiberius, Tibs for short. To be honest I thought it was verging on child cruelty. The woman was pregnant at the time and I was really disappointed we moved before it was born so never got to find out what they called it.

I've known quite a few boys called Tiberius, Cornelius, Remus, Traian, Cezar and other Roman names. Tiberius usually had the nn. Tibi (Tee-bee). In another country (obviously! by the few replies on here).

I suggested Tiberius and my OH told me in no uncertain terms that I could not name our child after a roman emporer who liked to felate small boys in a swimming pool.

He also vetoed Caligula.
