ancient famous people had really good names (probably ancient non-famous people did too but we don't know their names because they didn't get their names preserved to the modern day)

Vercingetorix, Anaximander, Zhuge Liang, al-Khwarizmi

they're just Really Good Names

I guess al-Khwarizmi probably doesn't count as ancient though, he's more medieval time period

if we're including medieval names too though, Moctezuma/Montezuma is another good one
