Sirius? Is it too much?

I’m a Potterhead, absolutely love the series like nothing else. I’m also a fan of the character [name]Sirius[/name] [name]Black[/name] and his awesome name.

I’ve thought a lot about using [name]Sirius[/name] in the middle with a more classic name, but I worry that it’s still just too much.
Is it?

My current ideas are:
[name]Nathaniel[/name] [name]Sirius[/name]
[name]Elijah[/name] [name]Sirius[/name]
[name]Gabriel[/name] [name]Sirius[/name]

In that order.

If it were a first name, I’d say too much. But you’re only using it as a middle name. I think it goes the best with [name]Nathaniel[/name], though it sounds fine with [name]Elijah[/name] and [name]Gabriel[/name]. It’s not as if you were naming him [name]Harry[/name] [name]Sirius[/name], [name]Albus[/name] [name]Sirius[/name], or Severous Serius. If the name has meaning, then use it.

[name]Sirius[/name] is a lovely name! I loved it before [name]Harry[/name] [name]Potter[/name], and after I’ve read the books many times, AND having [name]Gary[/name] Oldman play him in the movies I’m still loving it. Use it as a first or a middle, whatever you want. I don’t think it’s too much, unless you call him [name]Sirius[/name] Regulus or something up that alley…

I like it, plus it’s after the name of brightest star. From your list, I prefer [name]Elijah[/name] [name]Sirius[/name]. :slight_smile:

Omg I love him…he’s one of my favorite characters. I’m STILL upset about book 5. Anyway, his name is awesome and I think it would be great for a middle name! I would love to see it used.

Too much for a first name, but fine in the middle. I like [name]Nathaniel[/name] and [name]Gabriel[/name] best, but that’s just personal taste. Any on the list would work just fine!

You can definitely use it! I am also a Potterhead, and I have [name]Hermione[/name] on my list. :slight_smile: My favorite combos are [name]Elijah[/name] [name]Sirius[/name] and [name]Gabriel[/name] [name]Sirius[/name].

You can definitely use [name]Sirius[/name] in the middle spot! [name]Sirius[/name] [name]Black[/name] is one of my favorite [name]Harry[/name] [name]Potter[/name] characters. [name]Nathaniel[/name] [name]Sirius[/name] is great.

Go for it, and while you’re at it use [name]Orion[/name] as your second child’s middle name, haha.
[name]Elijah[/name] [name]Sirius[/name] and [name]Gabriel[/name] [name]Sirius[/name] are both soooo amazing. (Plus you’ve just suggested 3 of my favorite names ever so you are my new naming hero)

I think it has teasing potential and you’ll probably get a lot of [name]Harry[/name] [name]Potter[/name] comments, but if you don’t mind that… then I’d say go for it otherwise the middle would be a safe place.

I want to use [name]Severus[/name], but my fiance’ put his foot down. Might try working it in as a middle, but he’s not for “out there” names in general…

I say anything goes in the middle name spot. [name]Sirius[/name] would be a bit much for me, personally, but if you love it, I say go for it!
