"Seven" as a name.

The boy on Married With Children, whose life on the show was short-lived, was named Seven. But I thought the name Soda was creative.

Yep, Sodapop....in the movie, "The Outsiders"

Actually that was Soda Pop you're thinking of and the movie was called "The Outsiders."

ahead

and

have

seven

or

There was also a kid on Married with Children by the name of Seven. And don't forget Six on Blossom.

I guess the writers never watched "Married With Children" when the kid (Seven) was on.....

Charles Schultz precedes seinfeld and the Bundy's "seven," and Blossom's "six" when he had a character named "five!" : )

Actually, the Romans were quite fond of naming their children with numbers. Common names included the aforementioned Septimus as well as Quintus (fifth) and Decimus (tenth). Octavius (as in Caesar) is a variation on octavus, which means eighth.

	Modern Italians, too, have apparently named children with
numbers, at least the old story about the Carneras suggests so. The
Italian heavyweight boxer was named Primo. His brother, the next child
in the family, was named Secundo, and so forth. The story has it that
when Mrs Carnera was in the hospital, having delivered her seventh
child, and the proud father said, "Ah, Setto!" Mrs Carnera replied,
"No no. Ultimo!"

I think Seven is a really cool name to name someone, but now someone's going to use it thanks to Seinfeld, there went George's originality. Oh well, Susan didn't like it.

<Octavius (as in Caesar) is a variation on octavus, which means eighth.>

Octavius was the real name of Julius Caesar's nephew, who went on to become Augustus Caesar, the first Emperor of Rome (32 B.C.- 14 A.D.) His reign's accomplishmants (from the Pax Augustum to literary achievements like the Aeneid) far outweigh those of his ill fated uncle. The point is, Caesar's real name was Julius and Octavius last name was not Caesar until he assumed it as a title (later it would become the title used by Emperors to designate their heirs). It is improper to refer to Augustus as Caesar and proper to refer to Julius as such.
