Lucius is a name borne by several saints <cough cough>, a common name in
anicent Rome. It was also borne by the 3rd century Pope Lucius 1 and his 2
succesors. I imagine many saints/popes names have been popular in many
places throughout the years.

LeStrange was the surname of my refrigeration mechanic, but I digress...
