DS is due soon and still struggling with his name.
We like Jack and Sirius so thinking using both of them. Will it work?
Jack Sirius or Sirius Jack?

We also like David, Isaac and Charles.

We don't mind if there 2 or 3 middle names but we like Sirius in there if it doesn't work as a first. Oh, we have to get Jack in there as well.

PS. The surname is 2 syllables.
All thoughts welcomed.

Im getting it... maybe not a first name. Too much teasing. Might use it as a middle name though. Jack "something" Sirius.

Do you think its too Harry Pottery?

No, it's just too silly (and too similar to 'serious' as one or two posters have illustrated). Keep it as an interesting middle name and stick with Jack.

Siriously?

scotchtikidoll · 07/07/2014 22:26

Why so Sirius?

(Sorry)

Sirius = the dog star, the hound at the gates of the underworld

avocadogreen · 07/07/2014 22:24

cool middle name but too much teasing potential as a first name I think...

PolyesterBride · 07/07/2014 22:24

Definitely Harry pottery!

if you're going to go for Sirius (which is lovely, but then I'm a Potter nerd), I suggest you go for Jack Sirius, because Sirius Jack sounds way too much like Sirius Black.

I've just devoured 2 seasons of "scandal" in the last two weeks so I offer up Cyrus in the way of a contribution.

Also quite like Silas.

It was my first thought, I'm afraid. Charles Isaac Jack is nice though!

plus3 · 07/07/2014 22:22

No.

buttercrumble · 07/07/2014 22:21

Ooh no don't like Sirius, however Jack is lovely Smile

Not at all. In fact, its from the star. Well we were thinking along those lines. Do you think its too Harry Pottery?

You cannot be...

catwithflowers · 07/07/2014 22:20

Harry Potter. Sirius Black. Sorry Sad

Like the other names though

Is this a Harry Potter tribute?
