I'm sitting on the fence about using the gens, "Flavii." His name is reminiscent of the usuper, and seems to fit more in line with the non-family (unrelated) uses of the name, during the late Roman empire.[1] I also read that Magnus was unusual as well... with the usurper being the most famous.

However... "Flavius Felix" is listed among the Flavii.[2] So it's a little difficult to discern, when the identity of the person in question is not so clear.
