Thinking about the name
Romulus
Latin origin
“The Latin name of Rome's legendary founder (the 'breast-fed wolf' of Roman mythology), suggesting ancient power, destiny, and civilization-building. This name carries philosophical weight—it's chosen by parents who want their child's name rooted in Western civilization's foundational mythology. It's grand, rare, and deliberately classical.”
