What do you think of the boy name Aramis?

Title says it all really . I love Dumas' work (including, of course The Three Musketeers and sequels) and think Aramis is a strong, "cool" name. But is it too much to use in real life? What do you think of when you hear Aramis? What would you think of a little boy/teen/man who introduced himself as Aramis?

Also, what middle names do you think would work well with Aramis? I feel that if you're going to go for an unusual first name, you should choose a more classic "easy to wear" middle just in case. Also, what nicknames? And sibling names would you imagine would go with Aramis?

By the way, I'm not pregnant or thinking of having children. Just got a love of unusual names! Thanks in advance guys

Lol at a sexy dog! I love the character but really it is a surname so I'd keep Aramis for a pet (spaniel?) or maybe a middle name.

Aramis is ok and I didn't know know about the aftershave even though I am old enough
It does sound a bit feminine to me though. What about Artimis.

I think of a slightly gorgeous cocker spaniel.

Makes me think of a sexy guy in leather trousers, blue cape and a hat.........great for a man, not so great for a toddler lol

I like it, I was quite recently wondering why it isn't a more prevalent name.

I've never heard of the aftershave Confused
