There are hardly any blemishes to be found in Marcus Aurelius. He was one of the five good emperors, was engaged in wars every year of his reign in the Parthian War (against the persians 161-66) and the Marcomannic Wars (166-180), was a stoic philosopher, and dealt with theory and practice of law, particularly in laws regarding the guardianship of orphans and minors and the manumission of slaves. He was highly praised and posterity saw him as a philosopher king.

Herodian wrote: "Alone of the emperors, he gave proof of his learning not by mere words or knowledge of philosophical doctrines but by his blameless character and temperate way of life." In the Justinian Code he was described as "a most prudent and conscientiously just emperor and "an emperor most skilled in the law." The Christian writers praised him. Melitus said that he was more philanthropic and philosophic than his two predecessors who also were among the five good emperors.

Marcus Aurelius biggest mistake was to designate his son Commodus as his successor. He turned out to be one of the worst emperors.

What were the preferred names that Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius wished to be called?

there is no record of Marcus Aurelius preferring any particular names. His name changed according to Roman naming conventions because of changing circumstances and I guess that he just took the changes for granted. His original name was Marcus Annius Catilius Severus. It changed to Marcus Annius Verus (his father's name) when he got married. It changed again to Marcus Aelius Aurelius Verus Caesar with his adoption by the emperor Antoninus Pius (Titus Fulvus Aelius Hadrianus Antoninus Augustus Pius). Aelius was the nomen gentilicium (clan name) of his adoptive father, who in turn got it from the previous emperor, Hadrian, who was his adoptive father of Antoninus Pius. Adoptive sons were given the nomen of their adoptive fathers Caesar was a title he received because he became the imperial heir. When he became the emperor his name became Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Augustus. Aelius was dropped and replaced by Antoninus after his adoptive father. Augustus was the title of the emperor.
