"Roman men were usually known by their praenomina to members of their family and household, clientes and close friends; but outside of this circle, they might be called by their nomen, cognomen, or any combination of praenomen, nomen, and cognomen that was sufficient to distinguish them from other men with similar names." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_naming_conventions |

Even Julius Caesar's full name including all three parts would not be helpful in distinguishing him from many of the other men in his family.
