Character Name
Furio
Furio Furio embodies the Roman concept of furor — the divine fury that possessed warriors and orators alike, that terrifying creative energy which the Romans recognized as both dangerous and necessary to greatness. The gens Furia produced some of Rome's most decisive military commanders, and the name carries an expectation of decisive, passionate action rather than patient deliberation. A character named Furio is unlikely to be found waiting on the sidelines when something must be done.

Tatjana
“Tatjana is the Slavic (Russian, Serbian, Croatian, Slovenian) form of Tatiana, which derives from the Roman family name Tatius — possibly of Sabine origin, borne by the Sabine king Titus Tatius who co-ruled Rome with Romulus.

Cristina

It has been among the most consistently popular feminine names across southern Europe.”
