I think pretty much anybody does the same, especially romance countries. For us in Italy, for example, it's Marco Aurelio.

Interestingly enough, in Sweden we don't do this when it comes to Latin names, so here it is Marcus Aurelius. However, we sometimes "swedify" non-Latin foreign names, so king Charles I of England is known as Karl I, and Louis XIII is known as Ludvig XIII.

I'm American but have been living in Paris for about a year now. Hopefully much longer!
EN World helped me find a group here that I'm very happy with.

I'm Norwegian (Trondheim), but calling Norway Continental Europe is a politically hot issue here ;)

Hey, you can walk to Paris, Rome and Berlin could you not? So what that swimming is faster! :)

The way I see it, the phrase "continental Europe" is something those crazy Brits invented to say when Heathrow got fogged up :)
