Remus?

My husband has fallen in love with the name Remus, and I love it too. I’ve watched Harry Potter but wouldn’t immediately make the connection. I briefly think of Romulus/Remus but don’t mind the link.

It’s one of the only names we have agreed on, and both love it. The connection to Rome & HP don’t faze me at all. Should I reconsider though? Is it an embarrassing name / connection? Will people think “oh she’s a Harry Potter fan”? To be honest, I don’t mind if they do? I think all names have connections, and people will associate it with the baby/person after getting to know them. Just need a sanity check.

Thanks!

My first thought was Uncle Remus, the narrator of the Brer Rabbit stories.

I actually think it’s a nice name

I thought Harry Potter first, then Romulus & Remus. Personally I think it's quite a name to saddle the poor kid with.

Exactly the same for me ^^^

I think of romulus and remus.
At least you'd have a name ready for the next one

I think it’s too Harry Potter honestly. How about Remy? Or Linus, Silas, Magnus, Atlas, Atticus, Cyrus, Caius?

Honestly you might not mind but I imagine your child will mind if every time he introduces himself people immediately think of the Harry Potter werewolf or the two brothers who suckled form a she wolf before one murdered the other...

Harry Potter…don’t do it….especially with the remake coming out and going to be filmed over 10 years

I did think Harry Potter but I don’t think that matters
