Comment on How is Alexander the Great so great he gets that name, but not so great that just “Alexander”doesn’t disambiguate him?

While there is only one Gaius Julius Caesar, his lastname has been used as title by various successors.

Slim Shady is a self invented stage name so there is not really a point in anyone adopting it as their own unless they are comfortable being called a copycat all the time.

Charlemagne actually is short for the French version of Charles the Great so it is a title name combination just as Alexander the Great.

Atilla probably sounds unique to you because it’s an uncommon name in the west.
