Dissuade me from wanting to use the name, Sirius.

I think it would go well with our DS's last name. Hubby is not feeling it.

Please tell me potential teasings/pet names etc. Or why it might be a good choice.
I love the name and the meaning plus I'm a massive HP fan.
Other option for me is Benjamin...
I'm finding choosing boy names difficult!

I know a Sirius! His mum isn't particularly a HP fan but is Iranian, it's apparently quite a popular name in that area. It's pronounced slightly differently than I would have imagined. I think it's lovely, but wouldn't necessarily use it for one of my kids.

@myoriginal3
The problem is he has no suggestions either!
We combined two names for our DD so was straight forward and easy. This is proving to be quite the task.

Sirius is a gorgeous name, with cool associations. The only thing is Sirius-serious, I guess. Also don't use the middle name Lee. I guess if you want to go all in, Lee would actually be cool, particularly if you had an interesting surname.

But Sirius is great!

I prefer Benjamin.

I would hand the responsibility of naming to your dh. Otherwise your son will end up called Sirius.
