Nice post Dedonus, but um...Marcus Atilius Marci f. Marci n. Regulus? Was this a real person of the time (found one slighty familiar, died about 30 years prior to the RP)? Or have you Latin'd the feck out of someone's name? Either way I'm confused.

It's a real person. It's Marcus Atilius Regulus, son of Marcus, grandson of Marcus. In 217, he was the consul suffectus and in 227 he was an actual consul. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcus_Atilius_Regulus_(consul_227_BC)

I was being super formal.

praenomen: Marcus
nomen: Atilius (he belongs to gens Atilia, the Atilii in plural)
patronymicus: Marci f. (son of Marcus)
grandparent: Marci n. (grandson of Marcus)
cognomen: Regulus(family of the Reguli)
