Roman Naming help

'Allo all, I seem to be having a bit of trouble with the Roman names. It seems like it goes [firstname+no letter or A-K] [Romanvs] but I can only get it to recognize the no letter firstname Romanvs. What am i doing wrong?

You tried all the postfix letters?

Yep, A-K, unless they weren't included in desc_names.

Case in point: I have a general, Publius Aemilus Scaurus, that I wish to make Consul so he can get the Reformator trait (it seems like he isn't getting elected to office, though maybe that will change now that he is a Triumphator). So I try character_reset to attempt to find out which version of "Pvblivs Romanvs" he is. None of the A-K ones come back with a successful result and leaving it non postfixed affects one Publius something Cotta, who is a hired general running Ippone. Since that one is "Pvblivs Romanvs" in the script's eyes (why I don't know), I need to figure out how to get it to recognize the desired general. I would type it as character_reset "PvblivsA Romanvs" and get err: no such character. Also typing it as "Publivsa Romanvs", "Publivs_a Romanvs", and "Pvblivs_A Romanus" did not seem to work for any of the letters. So am I using the syntax correctly?
EDIT: I still have roughly 15 years before the non-auto Marians can occur, so I'm not really going to hold up and wait...my general will be a healthy 50 or so at the time so unless he catches the plague or a spear in his gut he'll be around. I might end up passing the 90 territory mark before though, as I'm sitting at roughly 85 now.
