Gaius Maxwell at least sounds like an actual name and not something stripped from a fantasy story. I'd still probably go with something more modest than a Roman emperor's name, but it's your decision.
How is that actually worse than all the people named Julius and Augustus running around?
Since when were there lots of people named Julius and Augustus running around? If you're referring to the shortened version of those names Julie and August I'd say the difference is that those have become common names that are no longer most closely associated with Roman Emperors. Gaius on the other hand is pretty uncommon, so when I hear it I immediately think Caesar. To me it seems like a very proud, bordering on egotistical name to pick for yourself. But that's just me, and I already said I thought it was a much better name than his previous considerations.
No. I mean Julius and Augustus. They're not COMMON names, but they're considered regular names.
