It would be kinda funny if at some point they forgot that all those Vs and IIIs on the end of people's names were numbers and did just start pronouncing them phonetically

One thing I noticed re-reading certain Pre-Reboot Legion stories set on Orando is that the names of male Orandan characters ended in "x": Projectra's cousin Pharoxx, son of Hythaxx (LSH #286) and Dirrax, a regent mentioned in LSH #26. I wonder if King Voxv was intended to be "Voxx," but somehow got changed to "Voxv." I don't know if he was addressed by name in his first appearance or simply called "the King"/"Your Highness/Majesty." At any rate, thanks for the responses. What was I thinking about?

There's the Dox family (Querl, Vril, Lyrl, Kajz, etc.), the Nux family (Sharn), and the Fex family (Orin), among others. And I just looked up on DCwikia and found out that Questor's real name is Xart Prax, so double X-y goodness! Wrapped Around Your Finger now complete in BITS!
