I think I'm having some kind of reaction to old gentleman names ~ and my short list is getting more and more eclectic/potentially just plain odd.
One of the names I'm mulling around is Sirius. But is it completely cruel to use it ~ can it stand up on its own or are people only ever going to think of Harry Potter/Gary Oldman etc?

People will think Harry Potter. How about Cyrus?

and he would be asked Serious(ly) each time he says his name. Far better would be Albus or Dudley.
