Thracian, actually: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spartacus And personally, I see nothing wrong with the name, people go by a lot of Roman/Greek names, e.g. Marcus or Julia, and no-one sees anything strange with it. If anything, I suppose that naming conventions in 22nd century would become much looser than today.
