I love that name.

I love Livia and Laurentia.

I also like Cassia, but it reminds me too much of Cassius...

I think that you can definitly tell that they're all ancient something. Which to me, is not a good thing. I can't see anybody these days having such a dramatic name like these. Maybe Mila, because it seems to be the simplest of them all.

I like Livia as that was my Roman name at school when we did the Romans as a topic lol. But it sounds like a half-asked attempt to say Olivia. I really like Tanaquil. I've not seen it before but i really like it.

I only like Cassia! Haha, I'm definitely not a fan of -a endings ;)

Aw, yay! Tanaquil reminds me of the famous, somewhat tragic ballerina (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanaquil_LeClerq).

I don't know if Varivia was actually used in Roman times. In Latin, it would sound like "War-i-wee-ah".

I like Tullia and Aurelia (I would definitely have a hard time using this one).

From my understanding, Roman girls were given the feminine form of their father's name which is why they all end in -a.
