Tiberius?

What is everyones first reaction when hearing this name? [name_m]Ive[/name_m] had feedback from people who have used the name or also love the name but wanted more opinions.

Thanks

[name_u]James[/name_u] [name_m]Tiberius[/name_m] [name_m]Kirk[/name_m]…and I only saw the 2009 remake. Because of this, it kind of has a quirky vibe to it, but I wouldn’t consider that a bad thing. [name_m]Tiberius[/name_m] sounds very strong and, with how diverse naming has become, I think a boy/man could wear it well. Personally, I think it is better suited as a middle name, but that’s just a personal preference.

[name_f]Star[/name_f] Trek. I know a guy who rocked this name.

I’ve read two books recently with at least one [name_m]Tiberius[/name_m] in them, so I think of them first. It’s fine, and is one of these names that seem hyper masculine.

Yep, [name_f]Star[/name_f] Trek and [name_m]Kirk[/name_m] are my first associations with [name_m]Tiberius[/name_m], and also why I’ve been considering it. I agree it feels very masculine, which isn’t my usual style, but it’s a really cool name.

I love it. I know it’s connected to [name_m]Captain[/name_m] [name_m]Kirk[/name_m] from [name_f]Star[/name_f] Trek, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

It feels like a lot of name. I think I’d like it more if it had an accessible nickname, but off the top of my head I can’t come up with one. I can appreciate its quirk factor, but it’s too macho for me.

[name_u]Love[/name_u] it; quirky and strong. I’d use Tibey as a nickname.

I really like it. My husbands friend used [name_m]Tiberius[/name_m] for his sons middle name. We always call him Tibbers.

I like it. For some reason my first thought was “is that the name of a bear” :D. But it’s a good name.

I love most of these ancient [name_m]Roman[/name_m] -us names. In fact one of my children has one of them as a first name, though not [name_m]Tiberius[/name_m]. I am aware of the [name_f]Star[/name_f] Trek connection, but it’s definitely not my first thought when I see the name. I think there are plenty of nns you can get out of it if it’s “too much name” for everyday use. The only reason I wouldn’t use it is because the meaning is rather bland. I like to bestow great meanings and “from the Tiber” is a non-starter for me, but if meaning isn’t meaningful to you, then go for it!

I know someone named [name_m]Maximus[/name_m] and it is [name_m]WAY[/name_m] too much name for him. If you knew your son were going to rule nations, maybe, but otherwise I wouldn’t.

The [name_m]Maximus[/name_m] I know is very short too so thank God he can go by [name_u]Max[/name_u]. Tiberious… not sure what the nn would be, maybe [name_m]Ty[/name_m].

I would guess the parents were [name_f]Star[/name_f] Trek fans if I met a young [name_m]Tiberius[/name_m]. Perhaps after the more recent remakes people will be a bit more familiar with the name, and I would consider that a good thing because I think a totally unfamiliar four-syllable name can be difficult for others to pronounce/remember. I also think it is quite likely to be shortened to [name_m]Ty[/name_m], whether or not you—or [name_m]Tiberius[/name_m]—want it to be. (But personally I think [name_m]Ty[/name_m] is a great nickname).
