I actually love this. If I didn't already have Julius, I might be lobbying for it this time around.

Neither Augustus or Julius are pretentious unless you have a kid with each name. Throw in a third brother named Caesar and you win a prize.

Mercedes is Spanish for mercy. It's actually very common for Spaniards (or other Spanish speakers) to name children "words" that mean something religious.
I have a friend from Spain named Imnaculada (Immaculate--like immaculate conception).
Also I have a friend named Ascension, and I've known people named Concepcion, etc.
