Down to TWO names - Cyrus Benjamin or William Gregory

Help!

All four names are family names. Curious about your thoughts. Is [name_m]William[/name_m] too common? Is [name_m]Cyrus[/name_m] too unusual?

[name_m]Cyrus[/name_m] [name_m]William[/name_m]! It’s been in my signature for a while now and I adore this name. I don’t think it’s unusual at all. It’s definitely uncommon but familiar, warm and handsome. [name_u]Love[/name_u] the NN [name_m]Cy[/name_m] too! [name_m]Cyrus[/name_m] [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] would be nice too.

I like [name_m]Cyrus[/name_m], but I say [name_m]William[/name_m] [name_m]Gregory[/name_m]. I prefer that over [name_m]Cyrus[/name_m] [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m], but they are both nice names so I don’t think you could go wrong with either!

Side note - I love the nickname [name_m]Cy[/name_m] for [name_m]Cyrus[/name_m]. I have a son called [name_m]Silas[/name_m] who we call [name_u]Si[/name_u] :slight_smile:

from those 2 I would pick [name_m]Cyrus[/name_m] [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m]. If I could mix it up I would do [name_m]Gregory[/name_m] [name_m]Cyrus[/name_m] or [name_m]Cyrus[/name_m] [name_m]Gregory[/name_m].

The name [name_m]Cyrus[/name_m] is super cool and unusual, but do you think that everyone will immediately think of [name_f]Miley[/name_f] [name_m]Cyrus[/name_m]? I prefer [name_m]William[/name_m], but [name_m]Cyrus[/name_m] is still a really awesome name.You could go for [name_m]Cyrus[/name_m] [name_m]William[/name_m] or [name_m]William[/name_m] [name_m]Cyrus[/name_m].

I like both but I prefer [name_m]Wiliam[/name_m] [name_m]Gregory[/name_m].

I like [name_m]Cyrus[/name_m] [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] or [name_m]Cyrus[/name_m] [name_m]Gregory[/name_m].

I really love [name_m]William[/name_m]

I like both! And the thought of [name_f]Miley[/name_f] [name_m]Cyrus[/name_m] didn’t even cross my mind until I read the comment.

My husband always said [name_f]Miley[/name_f] when I said [name_m]Cyrus[/name_m]… but in your case - a family name - I wouldn’t care about the celeb association. You own it just as much as she or [name_u]Billy[/name_u] [name_u]Ray[/name_u] does.

I’ve always really liked the name [name_m]Cyril[/name_m] though, funny thing is that my hubby’s middle name is [name_m]William[/name_m] and I REALLY adore [name_m]Gregory[/name_m] :slight_smile:

[name_m]William[/name_m] [name_m]Gregory[/name_m]!

I love [name_m]William[/name_m] [name_m]Gregory[/name_m]. Classic and strong sounding, with lots of different nickname options.

[name_m]Cyrus[/name_m] [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] is the superior combo [name_f]IMO[/name_f]. I love it. There are so any [name_m]Wills[/name_m] and Liams, I say go for the more interesting choice!

I would never have thought of [name_f]Miley[/name_f] [name_m]Cyrus[/name_m] until I saw a pp’s comment! But then, I would never think of [name_f]Miley[/name_f] [name_m]Cyrus[/name_m]…

I prefer [name_m]Cyrus[/name_m] [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] because I’m not a fan of [name_m]Gregory[/name_m].

[name_m]Cyrus[/name_m] was on our list for our son. So obviously I am a fan. And although [name_m]William[/name_m] (aswell as [name_m]Liam[/name_m]) is handsome and classic it’s so overused where I live it lost its appeal for me.

[name_m]Cyrus[/name_m] [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] is great!
