Opinion on the name Titus

What are your thoughts and opinions on [name_m]Titus[/name_m]?

[name_m]Titus[/name_m] is cool and strong. I find it a little ā€œheavyā€ in an ancient [name_m]Roman[/name_m] type of way, but the fact it’s only two syllables makes it more approachable for a modern boy. I do worry a little about the first three letters having some teasing possibility, though.

It does have a strong, bold feel and a cool, sharp sound! However, as @EagleEyes says, if it’s a name for a kid, those first three letters might not be fun in high school.

I remember when a friend of mine from high school named one of their sons [name_m]Titus[/name_m] I was completely shocked ! I was not expecting it! But when they posted the meaning behind the name and why it was important for them I really softened to the name

It’s bold and adventurous! It’s quite a lot of name, quite overtly masculine. I think of [name_m]Titus[/name_m] Andronicus, very sad and bloody, but also of the explorer [name_u]Lawrence[/name_u] ā€˜Titus’ Oates.

I think it is a lot of name for anyone to wear, and the first three letters could be troublesome for them during school years.

I prefer [name_m]Titan[/name_m]. The ā€œusā€ sound just seems unappealing to me for some reason, I’m not sure why.

I like it. I’m reading a book right now that mentions typhus a lot, though. So, as long as you avoid that association, I think it’s good. (I don’t consider ā€œtyphusā€ a common word. Therefore I wouldn’t worry too much about it.)

As others have said, I dislike it because of the first three letters.

I think the [name_m]Roman[/name_m] emperor is too well known for the name to be associated with other similar sounding words but that might depend on your environment.
I like the sound, it’s a very grandiose name but I like it.
I’ve seen little boys named [name_m]Magnus[/name_m], [name_m]Maximus[/name_m], [name_m]Cesar[/name_m], [name_m]Thor[/name_m] and the like, [name_m]Titan[/name_m] has been mentioned too, so I don’t think it would be shocking.

It’s a big name! Striking and strapping… but hard for me to picture on a baby, child, or teen. I picture a grown and burly man.

Holy mackerel, lol! I’ve never noticed this. :rofl: Is it silly this makes me like the name even more? That’s a hilarious catch!

I think it’s an awesome name (and it’s on my list too!): strong, Biblical, not too common :blue_heart: Also, Tito is a cute nickname and you can choose a softer or more classic middle name to balance it.

Nice but the beginning is huge for teasing :rose::purple_heart::blossom:

I’m not a big fan, it sounds powerful and ancient and doesn’t really fit a regular modern guy. I also don’t really like how it sounds (I’m usually not big on -us ending names in general, with some exceptions).
