Remus for a boy's name

I've been finding it hard to get excited about any boy's names but recently came across this in baby book and I quite like it. I just wanted to hear opinions as I know it's not a popular name so don't know how it'd be perceived. I'm aware of the Rome connection and when looking up further see there's a Harry Potter character. I find it hard to imagine these being issues as HP and Rome are pretty inoffensive. What do you think about this as a boy's name?

I quite like it but it’s also a brand of men’s trousers. Not that that’s necessarily a deal-breaker....just saying.

Harry Potter.

It's not great really. I think the 'Ree' sound is a bit whiny.

Rory? Rupert?

I thought of Harry Potter first too but it's a really lovely name. Not one you'll hear every day. The HP character is also lovely, so not a bad thing if people think that's who you've taken inspiration from.

I think Romulus and Remus too. And I don’t think that’s a name association I’d want - didn’t one of them murder the other....?
