Janus/Ianus? Two headed god of.. You know what, I'll just link the wiki page:

> In ancient Roman religion and myth, Janus (; Latin: Iānus, pronounced [ˈjaː.nus]) is the god of beginnings, gates, transitions, time, duality, doorways, passages, and endings. He is usually depicted as having two faces, since he looks to the future and to the past.

Thank you for this name! I really like the connection, it is in fact super cool. The only thing that puts me off when thinking about this name is that "Janus" is a very similar name to "Janusz", which is in polish a name used very often to describe in jokes greedy and unfair entrepreneur :D

There are more ways to spell the name, maybe one of them doesn't trigger that association?
