Part 2/11:
A significant part of the process involves selecting Cornelia's cognomen, a Roman nickname often derived from physical traits or personal qualities. For example, Cicero's nickname relates to a chickpea, referencing a wart, while Julius Caesar's is linked to "Harry." The goal is to find a fitting, meaningful cognomen for Cornelia that could reflect her personality or journey.
After some brainstorming, the candidate "Gracilis" was chosen, meaning "slender" or "graceful" in Latin. This choice aligns with her aristocratic background, with the intent to develop her character arc around qualities like poise, intelligence, and inner strength.
