- Pick up the first two volumes of John Julius Norwich's Byzantine History. You'll have all the names
- you'll ever need and probably one of the best written books on the Byzantines in
- English. You can also check Psellus' - A secret history (something like that) for
- names in a particular period. How about "Constantine" for starters, chuckle!
