Aside from Xerxes or Darius! Cassius rhymes too much really. NOT Nelson (think Simpsons!)

you shd def go for nelson - the guy in simpsons is cute and misunderstood

I know a lovely 12 year old Nelson. I think it's quite a cool name.

The only Cyrus I know has a brother called Emile but I don't know if that comes from anyone specific.

How about:
Noah
Isaiah
Barak
John
William
Winston

Billy Ray?

Turvytopsy · 06/01/2014 03:45

Luther

Malcolm

Kismet

Nataleejah · 06/01/2014 04:25

Ryan or Rylan

Lattetogo · 06/01/2014 05:02

How about Keanu. Cyrus is the Latin version of Kurus (Kurosh) which rhymes with Keanus (keanush). I also like Aryan or Arian as well as Aria.

Solomon?

SS3J · 06/01/2014 08:27

Erasmus. Although maybe rhymes too much?

IntegrateExpectations · 06/01/2014 11:29

Dashiell?

ohmymimi · 06/01/2014 11:49

Hosea ( Lorenzo Williams)

SantasLittleMonkeyButler · 06/01/2014 11:58

Inspirational, human rights....

Not much springs to mind - maybe;

Luther
Abraham
Winston
Horatio
Ulysses

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 06/01/2014 14:56

Abraham a good one.

Alexander the Great was said to have been inspired by Cyrus.

Robert Owen?
Josiah (Wedgwood)

NigellasDealer · 06/01/2014 16:24

Ban Ki

vestandknickers · 06/01/2014 16:28

Mahatma?

TwosaCrowd · 06/01/2014 17:42

Erm. I'd say that Nelson Mandela is far better known, for far better reasons and will be remembered far long than the character from The Simpsons. I certainly wouldn't think of him if I met a child called Nelson.

lljkk · 06/01/2014 17:56

Socrates
Martin (LKJr)
Peter or Benson.

ApplesAndStares · 06/01/2014 20:47

Jesse (Owens)
Granville (Sharpe)

BumpNGrind · 07/01/2014 16:59

I like Fabian and think it goes really well.

Rene Cassin and John Peters Humphrey were the drafters of the Universal Declaration.

beatricequimby · 08/01/2014 20:32

Aneurin (Nye Bevin)
Keir (Hardie)
Chico (Mendes)
One of the boys from the Little Rock 9 - Ernest, Jeffrey (I think) you'd have to Google the rest
Atticus (To kill a mockingbird)
Robert (Owen)
William (Wilberforce)
Oladauh (sp?) Equiano
Jawaharlal (Nehru)
Otto (Frank)

I can't actually think of lots of inspiring men - that's a bit depressing.

TwosaCrowd · 08/01/2014 21:34

I LOVELOVE Aneurin, but DH says no because I am a tiny bit in love with Aneurin Barnard
