You forgot some - namely Caligula and Otho. Also, you should've mentioned that Nero's words before he was stabbed - which were probably intended to be his last words until a soldier arrived and attempted to stop the blood flow - were "Qualis artifex pereo" - literally "What an artist [I] die", usually translated as "What an artist dies in me".

It'd be an interesting curiosity to decipher the meaning of emperors' names. For example Tacitus means "subtle, unspoken" (so no wonder he had no final words, I guess), Pertinax menas "tenacious, obstinate", Commodus is "comfortable, pleasant", etc.

@LuisAldamiz

@CipiRipi00 OK, you are of course right. My facepalm is well deserved. However I read that cognomina were sometimes hereditary (and growingly so as time passed) so, for instance, Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus, had Scipio as cognomen (already inherited among a branch of the gens Cornelia) and was given the personal agnomen (nickname) Africanus. On the other hand Commodus did not have the same cognomen as his father, which was Antoninus (Marcus Aurelius Antoninus vs Lucius Aurelius Commodus). So the Aurelii seem to have been a more antiquated family in what regards to naming than the Cornelii, at least in what regards to Commodus, because I quote from Wikipedia what is believed to be the history of his name: "His name at birth was supposedly Marcus Annius Verus, but some sources assign this name to him upon his father's death and unofficial adoption by his grandfather, upon his coming of age, or at the time of his marriage. He may have been known as Marcus Annius Catilius Severus, at birth or at some point in his youth, or Marcus Catilius Severus Annius Verus. Upon his adoption by Antoninus as heir to the throne, he was known as Marcus Aelius Aurelius Verus Caesar and, upon his ascension, he was Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Augustus until his death". It gets quite complicated...
