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.
