Middle name Merrick, as a brother for Cyrus.

See I think it's my number one choice, but it goes against my reasons for naming a child (racial heritage=Darius, inspirational name = Atticus). I just like Cassius!

Not Darius! Was that not some x factor type winner? The others are nice and probably quite unusual, especially Atticus.

I am reading DD Atticus Claw ATM. So not that one. He's a tabby with a raggy ear.

I know brothers Cyrus and Darius - Iranian heritage

I think Darius or Atticus as Cyrus and Cassius is a bit of a

Cassius and Cyrus are quite similar in sound but I like most of your names.

Caspar
Aslan
Rohan

The Cassius I know is often shortened to Cas. Do you like/mind that? If not Cas & Cyrus sound more different to my ear than Cassius & Cyrus. What about Arash?

Yes, those would be good. Or Caspian!

I'd avoid another C name, as you already have a Cyrus (can get confusing when post arrives for Mr C. Surname).
Love Atticus but Darius is nice too.

Cassius by a long way.
Atticus is pretentious in a bit if a laughable way, and Darius will forever be, hit me baby one more time.

Don't like Darius.

I wanted Atticus or Cassius but I don't like the meaning of Cassius much "empty, robbed" and people keep telling me Atticus is pretentious?! Plus not many nicknames... Not sure I like Atti but you might?!

A real mix of opinions then. I think it's going to be Cassius... But yes I don't like the meaning either to the poster who mentioned it, however it was Mohamed Ali's name, so that's quite nice at least.

Love Darius! Both the name and the Pop Idol version!! His younger brother is Cyrus (and I think he also has a brother called Aria?) I know far too much about him! It borders in obsession!! I like Cassius too though but the short versions seem a bit "girly" which puts me off a little.

Atticus is my favourite. Least favourite is Darius. Cassius is ok and Cassie is a pretty ok nn.
