Romans were even more ridiculous in some ways.

A nobleman in Rome would be identified in inscriptions with not only the 3 names associated with himself, his family and his gens, but quite often by adding his father's and grandfather's names to the list. As well as names granted as titles.

Dudes would have like 10+ names in a list sometimes
