since the family may have used the same name for several children or forms of the same name, you could possibly have grandfather Julius, father Julius, father's sister Julia, father's son Julius, his daughter Julia, another daughter Jullilia, another son Julius the younger or minor, and all with the same nomen, (different endings by gender), so again, if mom is calling "YULI !!!" several (male) people might come running! Some family freedmen might also have the same praenomen...... and some praenomen, of the 17 used normally (14 most often) , might also be used by the neighbors, especially if they were related......
No wonder young men joined the army, to get away from the rule of Paterfamilius and to make their own name, literally.
