I really like it. For Ds2. But is it just tooooooooo poncey? We might be living in Brighton soon so that might help.

If mn says it's not poncey then I might be able to persuade dh .

Silas is similar in sound (at least with my accent) and much much better

Im reading this post a year after it was written... What did you call him? I think Cyrus is a great name:)

AllieW · 12/02/2010 17:43

Actually, thinking about it, if you wanted something similar sounding without the HM connoitations you might consider Silas (as in Silas Marner).

AllieW · 12/02/2010 17:42

I think it's quite cool, although I have managed to avoid Hannah Montana so may be out of kilter with popular opinion. I think the abbreviation Cy is nice, too.

Chav & trashy. Sorry!

Ozziegirly · 12/02/2010 02:28

minipie I also think of Con Air.

ElephantsAndMiasmas · 11/02/2010 14:29

I think it's nice! Surely most people wouldn't assume you had decided to use your DS's name to honour a teenage american popstar? I used to know a Cyrus and thought it was a very regal name.

Lionstar · 11/02/2010 14:18

I love Cyrus, I had the same reaction when I proposed it on my baby name list

but then I also like Tyrone and was roundly slated for that too

I really like Cyrus! It sounds masculine and elegant to my ears. And there aren't loads of the around, so I'd say go for it!

But then, I don't get the whole British Chavvy/Posh thing.... but if anything, I'd say it sounds very elegant (i.e. the opposite of common/chavvy).

boooooo I don't want to hear that it's chavvy.

OK back to the drawing board.

readysalted I love it too.

Billy Ray

my dad is called cyrus he is in his 70s now and very cool he has always been known as cy i love his name

StrictlyKatty · 10/02/2010 17:52

I don't hear poncey I hear chav. I hate it personally.

arionater · 10/02/2010 10:54

Quite a common Iranian name, I like it; but you'd be gambling on the Miley Cyrus thing being over sooner rather than later. Do you like the likely nick-names too (Si? Russ? etc)

LowLevelWhingeing · 10/02/2010 10:18

No it is the opposite of poncey, but not in a good way.

doubleexpresso · 10/02/2010 10:13

Know male Cyrus - don't like it. Sounds like you're trying too hard. Sorry.

itsallaboutpootle · 10/02/2010 09:32

A bit chavvy. My dd daughter goes to school with a Cyrus and he is a little sod, and from a chavtastic family!

Amapoleon · 10/02/2010 09:30

Sorry reminds me of Miley.
