Dissuade me from wanting to use the name, Sirius.

I think it would go well with our DS's last name. Hubby is not feeling it.

Please tell me potential teasings/pet names etc. Or why it might be a good choice.
I love the name and the meaning plus I'm a massive HP fan.
Other option for me is Benjamin...
I'm finding choosing boy names difficult!

What about Zaccheus?

Zac Savage sounds like a cool kid to me.

Ooh I second Zac Savage !

I personally prefer Zachariah/Zacharias. But yes, Zac Savage sounds like a very cool kid to me as well.

Sirius sounds like serious.

But Violet sounds exactly like Violent and it doesn't seem to have stopped it becoming popular.

HP may have run out of steam by the time your DS is at school.

If you love HP how about Diggory after Cedric Diggory.

I would say it sounds less like violent than Sirius sounds like serious, but even so, there's no way I'd call a daughter Violet either if my surname was Savage!!

Too Harry Potter.

And too Siri.
